Division of Gastroenterology, Department of Internal Medicine, Kobe University Graduate School of Medicine, 7-5-2 Kusunoki-cho, Chuo-ku, Kobe, Hyogo, Japan.
Background And Study Aims: Gastrointestinal (GI) fistulas arise as adverse events of GI surgery and endoscopic treatment as well as secondary to underlying diseases, such as ulceration and pancreatitis. Until a decade ago, they were mainly treated surgically or conservatively.

Introduction: In the 1930-50s, before the introduction of antimicrobial drugs and development of techniques of pulmonary resssection, collapse therapy was the mainstream of treatment for cavitary pulmonary tuberculosis. The methods to achieve the collapse included artificial pneumothorax with air refills, phrenic nerve crush, thoracoplasty and extrapleural plombage. The plombage involves creating a cavity surgically under the ribs in the upper chest wall and filling the space with inert material, such fat, paraffin wax, rubber ballons, oil and methyl-methacrylate (Lucite) balls.

Department of Surgery, Downtown Medical Centre, Ludwig-Maximilians-University, 80336 Munich, Germany.
Objective: Nowadays, the occurrence of brown tumor lesions or osteitis fibrosa cystica caused by long-lasting primary hyperparathyroidism are very rare, since measuring serum calcium became available routinely in the mid-1970s. It is a tumor-like lesion that may affect the entire skeleton, often presenting with diffuse focal bone pain or by pathological fracture.
Methods: We describe our experience of brown tumor lesions at different skeletal sites that were treated at our trauma centre within the last two years.
