Soft tissue sarcomas about the patellar tendon necessitate wide resection and thus present a significant reconstructive challenge. This article describes the novel use of a synthetic mesh graft to reconstruct the knee extensor mechanism as a single stage procedure after wide en bloc resection of an extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma (EMC) in a patient with an invasive mass that was intimately associated with her patellar tendon.

Background: Penile cancer is a rare malignancy treated via various surgical techniques guided by disease stage and grade with current guidelines suggesting partial or total penectomy for those with pT2 or greater. We report a case of a patient with pT2 squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the penis who underwent circumcision with left partial-glansectomy and resection of preputial mass with good oncological control while providing good urinary and sexual function.
Case Description: An 82-year-old male presented to the clinic due to a mass that doubled in size in an 8-month timeframe.

Background: Exophytic tumors of the calvaria (ETCs) remain a challenging pathology because of their complex management. The authors discuss the case of a woman with a large exophytic mass of the right frontotemporal region and underline their decision-making process on the management of this unique case and possible similar ones.
Observations: Neuroradiological findings showed a calvarial tumor with both epicranial and intracranial extension involving the frontotemporal bone with a mixed component (lytic and sclerotic) and dural infiltration with a pseudonodular pattern.

Article Synopsis
- Primary leiomyosarcoma in bone is a rare tumor that mainly occurs in older adults and may be a metastasis; it requires careful evaluation and broad surgical excision as treatment.
- A case study describes a 50-year-old man with a painful mass in his left wrist, diagnosed with primary leiomyosarcoma of the distal ulna and treated with wide resection and stabilization.
- This type of tumor, although uncommon, should be considered when diagnosing lytic aggressive bone lesions in middle-aged patients, with surgery being the primary treatment method.

Study Design: Retrospective analysis.
Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the functional outcomes and the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients undergoing en bloc resection of spinal tumor.
Summary Of Background Data: En bloc resection in the spine is a surgical procedure designed to completely remove a tumor in one piece, with wide margins preserved, in order to reduce the risk of local recurrences.

Article Synopsis
- Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) can affect various organs, including the vagina and vulva, with vulvar carcinoma being a rare occurrence, typically seen in those over 70 years old, with a low prevalence of 2.6 per 100,000 people.
- This case study focuses on a 65-year-old woman diagnosed with well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma (WDSCC) of the clitoris, highlighting an increasing trend of diagnoses in women aged 35 to 45.
- Current treatment approaches are shifting from radical surgeries, such as vulvectomy and lymph node removal, to more personalized and less invasive strategies for managing vulvar carcinomas.
