Rare chondrosarcoma of the breast treated with quadrantectomy instead of mastectomy: A case report

Breast chondrosarcoma is a rare sarcoma that mainly occurs in females >50 years old. To the best of our knowledge, only 16 cases were reported in the literature prior to 2013 and all patients were surgically treated by mastectomy, with or without lymphadenectomy, which was occasionally preceded by neoadjuvant chemotherapy. However, the literature does not report the benefit of mastectomy compared with a more conservative surgery. The present study reports a novel case of extraskeletal chondrosarcoma of the breast. A 63-year-old female patient presented with a neoplasm localized in the upper-outer quadrant of the right breast. The palpable lesion with sharp margins was a firm parenchymatous mass, which was confirmed by ultrasonography and mammography. The patient underwent conservative quadrantectomy instead of mastectomy, followed by post-surgical chemotherapy. A positron emission tomography scan performed five months subsequent to the surgery revealed no remnants of the disease. The patient underwent a strict clinical and instrumental follow-up, and two and half years after surgery, there are no signs of recurrent disease. In conclusion, the present case is currently one of the two cases in which a more conservative quadrantectomy was performed, instead of mastectomy. This surgical approach did not lead to metastasis and resulted in a good follow-up for the patient.

Appendiceal abscess in a giant left-sided inguinoscrotal hernia: a rare case of Amyand hernia

The hernia of Amyand is an inguinal hernia containing the appendix in the sac. It is a rare pathology often diagnosed only intra-operatively. We report a case even more rare of a giant left-sided inguinoscrotal Amyand hernia with appendiceal abscess without clinical findings of incarceration/strangulation, occlusion, perforation, or acute scrotum and with the presence in the sac of the caecum and other anatomical structures (last ileal loops, bladder and omentum). The 68-years-old man patient successfully underwent surgical treatment only through the hernia sac (meshless repair according to Postempski technique).

Breast mondor’s disease: Diagnosis and management of six new cases of this underestimated pathology

Mondor’s disease is an unusual and little-known pathology of the breast, characterized by superficial thrombophlebitis. The causes are still unresolved. Most of the patients do not fall under case studies of the scientific literature, given the reported incidence rate between 0.5% and 0.8%. The Mondor’s disease patients are not always properly identified, and they are frequently treated as outpatients, even considering the benign course of the disease which often spontaneously resolves without any medical therapy. We report here six new cases of Mondor’s disease, two of them were likely due to a trauma and were easily resolved with the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs; the third one was apparently due to the stretching of the mammary veins in a patient with gigantomastia; the fourth one was subsequent to hormonal stimulation for in vivo fertilization and following gestation; and the last two cases (one was a man) were diagnosed after undergoing surgery for breast carcinoma.

Soft tissue sarcomas are rare tumors with a dismal prognosis. Among the most common histological types of sarcomas of the extremities, malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) is the one with the highest incidence. Surgery is considered to be the first choice of treatment for MFH. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report in the literature of a patient with MFH within the abductor pollicis longus (APL) muscle. This unusual location was also unexpected by the treating surgeons, as the preoperative magnetic resonance imaging localized the tumor inside a different muscle. A 79-year-old Caucasian man presented with a swelling in the middle third of the dorsal aspect of the left forearm. MFH was diagnosed following biopsy and instrumental diagnostic examinations. Surgical excision and simultaneous reconstruction was performed by the same microsurgical team, achieving an excellent functional outcome. The present case highlights the significance of microsurgical approach for improving strategic planning in oncologic surgery. Accurate surgical dissection, performed by a team of microsurgeons, allowed for the identification of the unusual and unexpected tumor localization within the APL muscle. For this reason, a change of surgical strategy allowed for preservation of the extensor digitorum communis muscle, which would otherwise have to be resected, with tendon transfer and successful restoration of the thumb abduction function.
