A desmoid tumor of the shoulder girdle infiltrating the upper chest wall and weighing 1500 g was almost completely removed in an 18-year-old man, 27 months after a bifocal fracture of the clavicule. Thirteen years later, the patient was free of recurrence. The interval time between trauma and diagnosis, as the particular characteristics of aggressive fibromatosis, strongly support a major causal role of the clavicular fracture in the occurrence of this tumor.

Oncol Lett
March 2025
Department of Minimally Invasive Surgery, Beijing Chest Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing Tuberculosis and Thoracic Tumor Research Institute, Beijing 101149, P.R. China.
The aim of the present study was to investigate the impact of upper paratracheal lymph node resection on the prognosis of patients with stage IB non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). A retrospective analysis of 339 patients with upper lobe stage IB NSCLC who underwent surgery at Sun Yat-Sen University Cancer Center (Guangzhou, China) between 1999 and 2009 was conducted. The Cox regression model was used to investigate prognostic factors.

Background: Pseudogynecomastia in MWL patients is characterized by excess skin in chest, lateral chest, axilla and upper abdomen without enlargement of the breast glandular component. The aim of this work was to study long-term aesthetic outcomes of correction of severe pseudogynecomastia post-weight loss with inferior pedicle technique with some refinements.
Methodology: This prospective study included 15 patients underwent chest contouring after massive weight loss within period of 2 years between January 2022 and January 2024.
Diagnostic performance of shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy for pleural-based and fissure-based pulmonary lesions.
Thorax
January 2025
Division of Pulmonary, Allergy, and Sleep Medicine, Mayo Clinic Florida, Jacksonville, Florida, USA.
Background: Sampling of peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs) abutting the pleura carries a higher risk of pneumothorax and complications. Although typically performed with image-guided transthoracic biopsy, the advent of shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (ssRAB) provides an alternative diagnostic procedure for this subtype of lesions.
Methods: A retrospective study on PPL attached to the peripheral pleura (PP), comprising costal and diaphragmatic pleura, mediastinal pleura (MP), and fissural pleura (FP) sampled by ssRAB, from January 2020 to December 2023.
Robot-assisted laparoscopic ipsilateral ureteroureterostomy for duplex kidneys in children: preliminary single-center experience.

Department of Urology, Anhui Provincial Children's Hospital, Hefei, China.
Objective: This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of robot-assisted laparoscopic ipsilateral ureteroureterostomy (RAL-IUU) in treating children with duplex kidney ureteral malformations by detailing our early single-center experience.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of clinical data from 14 children with complete duplex kidney ureteral malformations treated with RAL-IUU at our institution from December 2021 to January 2024. Clinical data included patient demographics, surgical details, and postoperative outcomes.
Fatal complications of aortoesophageal fistula caused by pseudoaneurysm following esophageal stent placement: A case report.
Medicine (Baltimore)
January 2025
Gastroenterology, Chongqing University Cancer Hospital, Chongqing, China.
Rationale: Aortoesophageal fistula (AEF) is an exceedingly rare yet critically life-threatening condition, with mortality rates nearing 100% if not addressed promptly. AEF often develops in the context of thoracic aortic aneurysms, esophageal malignancies, or as a complication of foreign body ingestion and prior thoracic aortic surgeries. This study reports an exceptionally severe and clinically rare case of AEF associated with a pseudaneurysm induced by esophageal stenting.
