We experienced a case of port site recurrence after thoracoscopic resection for lung metastasis of cecal cancer. The patient was a 57-year-old woman who underwent right hemicolectomy at the age of 51 following a diagnosis of cecal carcinoma. She underwent video-assisted thoracic surgery for pulmonary metastasis 2 years after the first surgery. She underwent local resection for a retroperitoneal pelvic wall recurrence 3.5 years after the first surgery. Chest wall port site recurrence occurred 5.5 years after the first surgery, and she underwent partial resection of the left lung and chest wall. Subsequent treatment has been performed with adjuvant chemotherapy, and she is healthy with no evidence of recurrence 7 years and 11 months after the initial surgery. In this case, a good prognosis was obtained by frequent local resection and adjuvant chemotherapy for metachronous multiple metastases.

Hematology patients require central venous catheters for cancer treatment and nutrition, which increases their risk of intravascular device-associated bacteremia. In the absence of recent data, we investigated intravascular device-associated bacteremia in this specific context. A three-month surveillance was conducted annually in 27 hematology wards, using a protocol derived from the HAI-Net ICU ECDC protocol (2020-2024).

Many institutions perform thoracoscopic surgery for pediatric extrapulmonary sequestration (EPS). This approach achieves good cosmetic outcomes due to the small skin incision in comparison to open surgery. However, an extension or additional incision is sometimes necessary to extract resected specimens from the thoracic cavity, which reduces the advantages of this procedure.

However, it can also cause human infections and appears to be involved in Catheter-Associated Infections in immunocompromised patients. Here, we report the first Italian isolation of a strain of from a 16-year-old oncological female patient being treated at Fondazione IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo Pavia (Italy).

Catheter-related thrombosis (CRT) is a frequent and potentially serious complication associated with the widespread use of intravascular devices such as central venous catheters, including peripherally inserted central catheters and implantable port systems, pacemakers or implantable cardioverter-defibrillators. Although CRT management has been informed by guidelines extrapolated from lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT), unique challenges remain due to the distinct anatomical, pathophysiological, and clinical characteristics of upper extremity DVT. Risk factors for CRT are multifactorial, encompassing patient-related characteristics such as cancer, prior venous thromboembolism, and infection, as well as catheter-specific factors like device type, lumens, and insertion site.
