A 74-year-old man was incidentally discovered during treatment of prostate cancer to have a pelvic tumor, measuring 8 cm in diameter. Enhanced abdominal computed tomography (CT) showed a roundish-shaped hypovascular solid tumor compressing the left internal iliac artery to the inner back side. Values on endocrinological examination were within normal ranges. The tumor was suspected to be chronic abscess, angiosarcoma, or gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) or neurogenic tumor, but no definitive diagnosis was able to be established before operation. During laparotomy, given its location relative to the internal iliac artery wall, the tumor was extracted by sacrificing periphery of the artery. The pathological diagnosis was an internal artery aneurysm with complete thrombotic occlusion. Isolated internal iliac aneurysm is rare, and this is the first case which resulted in complete thrombotic occlusion.

Purpose Of The Study: Intraarticular fractures of the distal femur rank among the most severe musculoskeletal injuries. Various treatment options, such as plate osteosynthesis or retrograde nailing, can be employed. This study aims to evaluate the clinical outcomes and complications of intraarticular distal femoral fractures treated with retrograde femoral nail, with particular emphasis on C3 fractures.

Objective: To explore the prognosis and influencing factors of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) due to late stent thrombosis (LST) and very late stent thrombosis (VLST).
Methods: Patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for STEMI caused by LST and VLST at Tianjin Chest Hospital from January 2016 to June 2021 were selected as the study subjects, and long-term follow-up was conducted. The baseline clinical features, laboratory examination indicators, echocardiography results, coronary angiography and intervention treatment characteristics, and antiplatelet treatment status of patients were collected.

Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is a known side effect of systemic steroid therapy. The role of intravitreal steroids in causing CSC is controversial. We present two cases of acute CSC that developed after intravitreal steroid injections.

Objective: To determine the incidence of clinical and subclinical venous thromboembolic events (VTE) in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) treated with high-dose thromboprophylaxis during definitive chemoradiation and brachytherapy.
Methods: A prospective observational study was undertaken from August 2021 to December 2023 in patients with primary LACC treated with definitive chemoradiation in two Dutch tertiary hospitals. Patients received high-dose thromboprophylaxis during chemoradiation and brachytherapy.

Background: The pelvis is one of the most common areas for metastatic bone disease. We recently described the use of a minimally invasive percutaneous screw fixation of metastatic non-periacetabular pelvic lesions, with excellent results.
Description: The procedure can be completed in a standard operating theater without the need for special instruments.
