We present our experience with arterio-venous traumatic fistulas. Seven cases, between 6 patients are reviewed. Respective etiologies were: 4 cases after an accidental traumatism, 2 cases produced by iatrogenicity and 1 case of idiopathic etiology. Respective localizations were: 6 cases at lower limbs (85.7%) and one case at cervical column (14.2%). All patients underwent surgical treatment. There was any case of mortality and treatment results were satisfactory in all cases. Patients were followed and, up to now, no recidives have been registered. follow-time ranged from 1.5 to more than 6 years.

Background: Direct-to-implant (DTI) breast reconstruction offers immediate aesthetic and psychological benefits, but the role of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) remains debated. Using a multi-institutional database, this study evaluates and compares outcomes between ADM-assisted and non-ADM DTI procedures.
Methods: The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database from 2008 to 2022 was queried to identify female patients who underwent DTI breast reconstruction for oncological purposes.

Hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (HSTCL) is an aggressive mature T-cell lymphoma characterized by significant hepatosplenomegaly, bone marrow involvement, and minimal or no lymphadenopathy. Primarily affecting young adults, it is exceptionally rare in children and adolescents. This makes diagnosis and treatment particularly challenging for pathologists and pediatric oncologists.

Purpose: This retrospective study furthers our understanding of risk factors associated with hemorrhage and intervention in renal angiomyolipomas (R-AMLs), particularly in larger tumors (≥ 4 cm) and in childbearing-age (CBA; younger than 50 years) women. The objective was to refine risk stratification and optimize patient management.
Methods: Review of our institutional database identified patients with radiographic R-AML from 1997 to 2023.
