The description of this case concerns the early diagnosis and the surgical treatment of a patient diagnosed with an ectopic ovarian pregnancy. A gravida 2, para 0 woman with a history of termination of pregnancy in the second trimester, was referred to the outpatients of the Gynecologic Department of the General Hospital of Trikala, reporting vaginal bleeding, accompanied by a deep, mild pain in the abdomen for a few days. The urine pregnancy test was positive. The transvaginal ultrasound in combination with the β-chorionic gonadotropin level was indicative of an ectopic pregnancy, and the surgical treatment of the patient was decided. Intraoperatively, the presence of an ovarian ectopic pregnancy was detected, and a wedge resection of the affected ovary was performed. The patient was discharged from our clinic on the third postoperative day, with instructions for weekly follow-up of the β-chorionic gonadotropin level until it returns to normal values.

Vaginal bleeding in the first trimester has wide differential diagnoses, the most common being a normal early intrauterine pregnancy, with other potential causes including spontaneous abortion and ectopic pregnancy. The incidence of ectopic pregnancy is approximately 2% of all reported pregnancies and is one of the leading causes of maternal mortality worldwide. Clinical signs and symptoms of ectopic pregnancy are often nonspecific. History of pelvic pain with bleeding and positive β-human chorionic gonadotropin should raise the possibility of ectopic pregnancy. Knowledge of the different locations of ectopic pregnancy is of utmost importance, in which ultrasound imaging plays a crucial role. This pictorial essay depicts sonographic findings and essential pitfalls in diagnosing ectopic pregnancy.

Aims This study aimed to evaluate the incidence and prognosis of patients with spinal metastasis as the initial manifestation of malignancy (SM-IMM). Patients and Methods We retrospectively reviewed the electronic medical records of 338 patients who underwent surgical treatment for metastatic spinal disease. The enrolled patients were divided into two groups. The SM-IMM group included patients with no history of malignancy whose site of primary malignancy was diagnosed after the identification of spinal metastasis. The other group included patients with a history of treatment for primary malignancy who then developed spinal metastasis (SM-DTM). The incidence of SM-IMM by site of primary malignancy was calculated. The difference between prognoses after surgical treatment for SM-IMM and SM-DTM was established. Results The median follow-up period was 11.5 months (interquartile range (IQR) 3.2 to 13.4) after surgical treatment. During the follow-up period, 264 patients died; 74 patients survived. The SM-IMM group consisted of 94 patients (27.8%). The site of primary malignancy in the SM-IMM group was lung in 35/103 patients (34.0%), liver in 8/45 patients (17.8%), kidney in 10/33 patients (30.3%), colorectum in 3/29 patients (10.3%), breast in 3/22 patients (13.6%), prostate in 3/10 patients (30%), thyroid in 4/8 patients (50%), and ‘other’ in 28/88 patients (31.8%). On Kaplan–Meier survival analysis, the SM-IMM group showed a significantly longer survival than the SM-DTM group (p = 0.013). The mean survival time was 23.0 months (95% confidence interval (CI) 15.5 to 30.5) in the SM-IMM group and 15.5 months (95% CI 11.8 to 19.2) in the SM-DTM group. Conclusion Of the 338 enrolled patients who underwent surgical treatment for spinal metastasis, 94 patients (27.8%) underwent surgical treatment for SM-IMM. The SM-IMM group had an acceptable prognosis with surgical treatment. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2019;101-B:1379–1384.

Background Gastric schwannoma is a rarely seen gastric tumor accounting for only 0.2% of all gastric tumors. It is difficult to distinguish a gastric schwannoma from other gastric tumors preoperatively. Case presentation: A 30-year-old man with no significant medical history or physical examination findings presented with a 1-month history of right upper abdominal discomfort. The preoperative diagnosis was a gastrointestinal stromal tumor, but the postoperative pathologic and immunohistochemical examinations confirmed a gastric schwannoma. The patient underwent laparoscopic wedge resection of the stomach without additional postoperative treatment, and his postoperative recovery was uneventful. No recurrence or metastasis was found at the 2-year follow-up examination. Conclusion Although gastric schwannomas are usually not malignant, they are difficult to distinguish from other malignant stromal tumors preoperatively. Surgical resection should be recommended when a schwannoma is malignant or considered to be at risk of becoming malignant.

AbstractEight patients, four males and four females, age five to 13 years old (average: 11 years) have undergone surgery in the acute phase of rheumaticfever. The patients presented a history of rheumatic activity characterized by the presence of migratory arthritis and carditis. All patients had severe acute mitral insufficiency, while one of them had associated aortic insufficiency. Laboratory examinations revealed the presence of an acute inflammatory condition. All patients had acute heart failure and were treated initially with high doses of diuretics, peripheral vasopressor and vasodilator amines, together with cardiotonic drugs, without improvement. Surgical treatment was indicated after a period of observation between 24 hours and five days. In five patients, the Doppler echocardiogram revealed rupture and elongation of tendinous cords. Two of them had acute dilatation of the mitral ring, and one had isolated acute dilatation of the mitral ring. Five patients underwent valvar replacement and, in three, valvar repair was carried out. Two patients, who were in cardiogenic shock at the time of their referral, died in the operating room following replacement of the mitral valve. All patients who underwent repair of the mitral valve were in good condition at the last follow-up, six to 27 months after surgery.

Introduction:  Tubal sterilization is a highly effective method of permanent contraception. However, pregnancy can still occur following a successful procedure. Published literatures report a failure rate of 0.13-1.3% and 15-33% of such pregnancies are likely to be ectopic. Case report: A 33 years para three lady with prior history of tubal ligation presented with generalized abdominal pain and several episodes of vomiting. Bimanual examination revealed a soft and mobile mass of 2 x 3 cm in right adnexa. Urine pregnancy test was positive and ultrasonogram showed a heterogeneous mass of 3.4 x 3.3 cm in right adnexa with empty uterine cavity. Culdocentesis resulted in aspiration of frank non-clotting blood. She then underwent emergency laparotomy with bilateral salpingectomy for ruptured ectopic pregnancy. Conclusion: Ectopic pregnancy after tubal sterilization though rare is not entirely impossible. All women who are offered this procedure should always be educated about its failure rate. And in women presenting with acute abdomen, a prior history of tubal sterilization doesn't preclude the possibility of ectopic pregnancy.

Ectopic pregnancy is a quite common and life-threatening pregnancy. The most common site of ectopic implantation of a fertilized embryo is the fallopian tube. In extremely rare situations, the embryo can implant in other locations, which makes the diagnosis and management even more complex. Although close observation of a new pregnancy is key in the diagnosis and treatment of an ectopic pregnancy, there is still a major risk of life-threatening outcomes. This is a case report of a 31-year-old patient with a history of multiple pregnancies who presented to a community hospital in the spring of 2021 with an ectopic caesarean scar pregnancy. A diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy was on a timely basis, and surgical management was advised. Upon refusal of treatment and admission, pharmacological management was initiated, but patient compliance challenged the success of the therapy. Patient non-compliance to close follow-up resulted in a ruptured uterus. Emergency laparotomy with supracervical hysterectomy was performed as a life-saving procedure.

Algirdas Jackevičius, Saulius Cicėnas, Dainius PiščikasVilniaus universiteto Onkologijos institutoTorakalinės chirurgijos ir onkologijos skyriusSantariškių g. 1, LT-2600 VilniusEl paštas: [email protected] Įvadas / tikslas Apie plaučių metastazių iš kitų organų gydymą esama įvairių nuomonių. Norime pasidalyti savo patirtimi, susijusia su chirurginiu plaučių metastazių gydymu. Straipsnyje aprašome plaučių metastazių gydymo taktiką, pateikiame vėlyvuosius gydymo rezultatus. Ligoniai ir metodai Straipsnyje nagrinėjami 1998–2002 metais gydyti 168 ligoniai, kuriems buvo diagnozuotos kitų organų navikų metastazės plaučiuose. Tarp jų buvo 81 vyras ir 87 moterys. Vyrų amžiaus vidurkis – 55,4 metų (jauniausias – 23, vyriausias – 83 metų). Moterų amžiaus vidurkis – 48,5 metų (jauniausia – 23, vyriausia – 77 metų). Moterų plaučių metastazių priežastys buvo tokios: krūties vėžys – 37 atvejai, kiaušidžių – 9, gimdos – 8, inkstų – 8, kito plaučio – 5, kepenų – 3, gaubtinės žarnos – 3, tiesiosios žarnos – 3, minkštųjų audinių sarkomos – 3, melanoma – 2; nosiaryklės, skrandžio, kaulų sarkomos, skydliaukės navikų buvo po vieną atvejį. Dažniausios vyrų plaučių metastazių priežastys buvo šių organų ir audinių navikai: inksto – 17 atvejų, kito plaučio – 13, sėklidžių – 9, gerklų – 6, tiesiosios žarnos – 5, kaulų sarkomų – 4, skydliaukės – 5, prostatos – 5, gaubtinės žarnos – 4, minkštųjų audinių – 3, skrandžio – 2, antinksčių – 2, melanomos, burnos ertmės, šlapimo pūslės – po vieną atvejį. Ligoniams buvo atliktos šios operacijos: pulmonektomija – 5, lobektomija – 31, segmentektomija – 40, atipinė plaučių rezekcija – 14, metastazių pašalinimas – 11, torakotomija – 26. Videotorakoskopija ir talko insufliacija atlikta 38 ligoniams. Po operacijos 12 ligonių buvo papildomai gydyti chemoterapija ir aktinoterapija. Rezultatai Nuo vėžio progresavimo mirė 40 ligonių. Jų vidutinė gyvenimo trukmė po operacijos – 7,3 mėn. (minimali – 1, maksimali – 27 mėn.). Operacijos apimtis turėjo įtakos ligonių gyvenimo trukmei. Po lobektomijų vidutinė ligonių gyvenimo trukmė buvo 12,4 mėn., po segmentektomijų – 10,2 mėn., po atipinių plaučių rezekcijų – 10,5 mėn. Ligoniai, kuriems buvo atliktos tik torakotomijos (kai nebuvo galimybės pašalinti metastazių), išgyveno vidutiniškai 8,5 mėn. Blogiausi gydymo rezultatai buvo tais atvejais, kai parietalinėje ir visceralinėje pleuroje buvo matoma daug metastazių ir tokio navikinio pleuros pažeidimo sąlygomis buvo konstatuojamas vėžinis pleuritas. Po videotorakoskopijų, kurių metu buvo patikslinama pleurito priežastis ir atliekama talko insufliacija į pleuros ertmę, ligonių gyvenimo vidutinė trukmė buvo mažiausia – 3,4 mėnesio. Išvados Pavienių plaučių metastazių chirurginis šalinimas pailgina ligonių gyvenimo trukmę. Geriausi gydymo rezultatai gauti chirurgiškai pašalinus kolorektinio ir inksto vėžio ligonių plaučių pavienes metastazes. Blogiausi gydymo rezultatai buvo ligonių, sergančių kiaušidžių, krūties vėžiu ir melanoma, nes joms dažniausiai atsiranda dauginės plaučių metastazės. Esant naviko diseminacijai pleuroje ir pleuritui, rekomenduojame videotoraskopijos metu įpūsti į pleuros ertmę talko. Prasminai žodžiai: plaučių metastazės, chirurginis gydymas, papildomasis gydymas, vėlyvieji gydymo rezultatai Results of surgical treatment for pulmonary metastases Algirdas Jackevičius, Saulius Cicėnas, Dainius Piščikas Background / objective Treatment of metastases in lung from other organs is serious clinic problem. There are controversies about the surgical treatment of metastases in lung. In this paper we have taken our data about the surgical treatment of metastases in lung from other organs. Methods of treatment of metastases in lung and the follow-up results are presented. Patients and methods In the Thoracic Clinic of Institute of Oncology Vilnius University in the course of 1998–2002 168 patient (pts) with metastases in lung from other tumors were treated surgically. There were 81 males and 87 females. Mean age of males was 59.5 years (range 23–83 years). Mean age of females was 55.1 years (range 23–77 years).The most common primary tumor in females was cancer of breast – 37 pts, from ovarian – 9, from uterus – 8, from renal cell – 8, from other lung – 5, from hepatobiliary – 3, from colon – 3, from rectal – 3, from sarcoma of soft tissue – 3, melanoma – 2, from nasopharynx, thyroid, stomach, osteosarcoma – 1. In males: renal cell – 17 cases, from other lung – 13, from colorectal – 9, from testis – 9, from larynx – 6, from thyroid – 5, from osteosarcoma – 5, from prostate – 5, from sarcoma of soft tissue – 3, stomach – 2, adrenal – 2, from bladder, melanoma, oral cavity – 1. Surgical treatment: in 5 cases – pneumonectomy, 31 – lobectomy , 40 – segmentectomy, 14 – wedge resection, 11 – metastasectomy, 26 – thoracotomy, 38 – videothoracoscopy with insufflation of talc. Results 40 pts died from the progression of disease, median survival – 7.5 month (range 1–27 month). The follow-up results were better after the radical operations: median survival of pts after lobectomy was 12.4 months, after segmentectomy – 10.2 months, after wedge resection – 10.5 months. In the cases of pleural dissemination the pts lived 3,4 months. Conclusions Surgical treatment of solitary metastases in lung is favourable for life prolongation of patients. The best follow-up results were received after surgical treatment of solitary metastases in lung in pts with colorectal and renal cell carcinoma. The follow-up results are unsatisfactory of pts with ovarian, breast carcinoma and melanoma. In many cases of this carcinoma was pleural dissemination with metastases. Insufflation of talc is recommended to patients with pleural effusion.
