The use of three-dimensional preoperative planning and bone tumor resection guided by navigation has increased in the last ten years. However, no study to date, as far as we know, has directly provided evidence of accuracy of this method. The objective of this study was to describe a method capable of determining the accuracy of osteotomies performed for tumor resection planned and guided by navigation. We hypothesize that matching the 3D reconstructed surgical specimen is an acceptable method to determine the accuracy of virtual planning and navigation. A total of seven patients and 14 osteotomies were evaluated. After surgery, all surgical specimens were 3D reconstructed from CT images. The mean of quantitative comparisons between osteotomies planned and osteotomies obtained through the resected specimen was in a global mean of 1.56 millimeters (SD: 2.91) for all the cases. Based on our observations, a three-dimensional model obtained from the tumor surgical specimen is a useful tool to determine accuracy of 3D planning and surgical navigation.

Unicentric Castleman's disease (UCD) typically presents as an asymptomatic tumour in the anterior or middle mediastinum. Occurrence in the paravertebral region is comparatively rare and it requires differentiation from neurogenic tumours by imaging. In our patient, preoperative imaging findings were atypical of schwannoma.

Although osteosarcomas are the most frequent primary malignant bone tumors, the primary cranial manifestation of this condition is very rare with only a limited number of cases presented in the literature. We present the case of a 20-year-old male patient who underwent single-session surgical intervention for resection of right frontal osteosarcoma with a tailor-made craniotomy and cranioplasty using virtually designed 3D-printed templates and molds. Subsequently, the patient was treated according to the EURAMOS protocol and received adjuvant systemic chemotherapy.

Background: The significance of histological grading and peritumoral edema (PTE) in predicting intracranial meningioma recurrence among Saudis is often neglected. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of these factors over a 10-year follow-up period.

Methods: A retrospective cohort of 124 patients with intracranial meningioma was analyzed over the period from 2011 to 2021.

Background: Current management of patients with borderline resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma (BR-PDAC) depends on the degree of involvement of the major arterial and venous structures. The aim of this study was to evaluate 3D segmentation and printing to predict tumor size and vascular involvement of BR-PDAC to improve pre-operative planning of vascular resection and better select patients for neoadjuvant therapy.

Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 16 patients with BR-PDAC near vascular structures who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) with or without vascular resection between 2015 and 2021.
