A 37-year-old female was indicated to have a non-mass lesion in her left breast on ultrasonography (US) and visited our outpatient clinic. Mammography showed no findings of masses or microcalcification. Dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a segmental enhanced lesion consisting of nodular and ring enhancement. A US-assisted vacuumed needle biopsy was performed, and the histological findings revealed sclerosing adenosis and apocrine metaplasia. After 1 year of follow-up, the MRI findings suggested both a benign lesion and ductal carcinoma in situ, and surgical excision was performed. We used a new device to evaluate the surgical margin on MRI. The non-mass lesion was excised according to the device-guided margin under local anesthesia. The histological findings revealed the features of mastopathy. Following excision, MRI showed no residual non-mass lesions, and the shape of the patient's left breast was maintained.

Background: Heterotopic ossification (HO) of the elbow resulting in limited motion is a relatively uncommon condition often caused by burns, trauma, and central nervous system injuries. This retrospective study presents the long-term outcomes of 51 cases of elbow HO treated with surgical excision and regimented postoperative rehabilitation protocol.
Methods: A retrospective case series was conducted on 48 patients (51 elbows) who underwent surgical excision of elbow heterotopic ossification.

Background: Australia has the highest global incidence of keratinocyte cancer. Surgically managing keratinocyte cancers in regional Australia presents geographic and economic challenges, which necessitate cost-effective resource allocation. Previous work has outlined the cost benefit for outpatient day surgical excision of head and neck skin lesions that can be closed primarily.

Aim: Local excision (LE) for T1 rectal cancer may be recommended in those with low-risk disease, while resection is typically recommended in those with a high risk of luminal recurrence or lymph node metastasis. The aim of this work was to compare survival between resection and LE.
Method: This was a population-based retrospective cohort study set in the Canadian province of Ontario.

: Vulvar epidermolytic hyperkeratosis (EHK) is an exceedingly rare dermatological condition, often presenting as solitary or multiple lesions in the vulvar region. Due to its clinical resemblance to other vulvar disorders, such as condyloma acuminatum, Bowenoid papulosis, and squamous cell carcinoma, vulvar EHK poses significant diagnostic challenges. While individual case reports and small case series have documented instances of vulvar EHK, comprehensive studies systematically consolidating the clinical, histopathological, and therapeutic aspects of this condition remain lacking.

Calcified amorphous tumor (CAT) is a rare, mostly incidental tumor-like cardiac lesion of unknown histogenesis. Current imaging modalities do not differentiate between CAT and other masses. As it can be a source for embolization, surgical excision of CAT is mandatory.
