Mesenteric Vessels

High mesenteric root sarcomas are difficult to manage due to their proximity to the superior mesenteric vessels. Resection of these tumors along with the blood vessels may lead to a complicated and protracted convalescence for the patient. Resection remains the main treatment modality for these tumors. During operation on high mesenteric root sarcomas, sound clinical judgment is needed for the decision not to sacrifice vital blood vessels.

High Index Of Suspicion

Retrorectal cystic hamartomas or tailgut cysts are infrequent congenital lesions presenting as presacral masses originating from the embryonic hindgut. They are commonly diagnosed in middle-aged women. Physicians must have a high index of suspicion to diagnose this rare tumor. We report a case of retrorectal hamartoma in a 70-year-old male presenting as rectal bleeding instead of the usual compressive symptoms. The utility of imaging modalities and the paramount importance of histopathology has been described. The treatment modality is surgical excision to prevent the potential malignant transformation.

All Treatment

All practitioners make mistakes, have lapses in clinical judgment, and have outcomes that do not meet prevailing standards. There are several common minefields that have significant potential for causing train wrecks in therapy. These include missed family dynamics, one-size-fits-all treatment, nonclinical databases, clients with chemicalized brains, inattention to the behavioral/emotional dimension of treatment, and clinician's penchant to hide behind blaming the client for failures. Dogmatic adherence to the notion of pre-eminence of neurofeedback as the singular treatment modality to the exclusion of supportive/adjunctive therapies is particularly hazardous to neurotherapeutic treatment brilliance. However, therapeutic brilliance is likewise dependent on the clinician having expertise in these effective synergetic modalities. Some of the author's train wrecks are presented as case examples.

Cranial Fossa

Functional paraganglioma is a rare tumor that secretes the catecholamine which is able to cause secondary hypertension. Surgical resection is the only curative treatment modality for this tumor, which can correct the secondary hypertension. The pterygopalatine fossa is a small retromaxillary space which contains a neurovascular bundle that crosses the middle cranial fossa to the nasal cavity, nasal septum, and oral cavity. To our knowledge, two cases have been reported for functional paraganglioma involving the pterygopalatine fossa removed by surgery. We present a patient who had a catecholamine-secreting paraganglioma in the pterygopalatine fossa, which is the first case successfully resected with an endoscopic approach.

Palliative Radiation Therapy

Synovial sarcoma is a rare tumor in dogs, occurring in approximately 27% of neoplasms involving joints, with the elbow representing a common site of occurrence. The recommended treatment of canine synovial sarcoma is amputation. The authors describe the use of palliative radiation therapy for the treatment of synovial sarcoma involving the elbow of a dog and conclude that this treatment modality may have use in some patients affected with synovial sarcoma.

An angiomyolipoma is one of the very rare benign tumors. All three elements, that is, blood vessels, adipose tissue and smooth muscles, should be present to qualify it to be labelled as an ‘angiomyolipoma’. Although it has been reported at other sites also like mediastinum, heart, spermatic cord, fallopian tube, oral cavity, penis, salivary glands, and skin.

Rare Tumor

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma of uterine cervix is a rare tumor that has some individual features. Defining risk factors after surgery shape the postoperative treatment modality on cervical cancer patients. Although there is not a well-known strategy for the postoperative follow-up of mucoepidermoid carcinoma, the aggressive behaviour of this tumor makes the gynecological oncologists choose liberal therapies on these patients.

The majority of blood vessels in the superior cervical ganglion possess a continuous endothelium with tight junctions. These same features have been associated with the blood brain barrier of the central nervous system and peripheral nerves. These vessels may perform a barrier function between the capillary circulation and the superior cervical ganglion. The permeability of the blood vessels in the superior cervical ganglion of the rat was tested by intravenous injection of horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Three experimental groups of four animals each were given intravenous HRP (Sigma Type II) in a dosage of.08 to.15 mg/gm body weight in.5 ml of.85% saline. The animals were sacrificed at five, ten or 15 minutes following administration of the tracer. Superior cervical ganglia were quickly removed and fixed by immersion in 2.5% glutaraldehyde in Sorenson's.1M phosphate buffer, pH 7.4. Three control animals received,5ml of saline without HRP. These were sacrificed on the same time schedule. Tissues from experimental and control animals were reacted for peroxidase activity and then processed for routine transmission electron microscopy.

Renal Tubular

In the course of urine formation in mammalian kidneys over 90% of the glomerular filtrate moves from the tubular lumen into the peritubular capillaries by both active and passive transport mechanisms. In all of the morphologically distinct segments of the renal tubule, e.g. proximal tubule, loop of Henle and distal nephron, the tubular absorbate passes through a basement membrane which rests against the basilar surface of the epithelial cells. The basement membrane is in a strategic location to affect the geometry of the tubules and to influence the movement of tubular absorbate into the renal interstitium. In the present studies we have determined directly some of the mechanical and permeability characteristics of tubular basement membranes.
