Carcinosarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, melanoma and carcinoid as primary tumors in the ovary are extremely rare. In this paper, the authors reviewed the literature from 2010 to 2021, based on specific criteria, to analyze the treatment of these rare ovarian neoplasms. We also aimed to verify whether modern therapies have been found in recent years. For this article, 80 papers were finally selected. The vast majority of the articles were clinical case reports. Despite single mentions of new potential pharmacological treatments, surgery (radical or fertility-sparing) is definitely the mainstay of treatment. There are currently no treatment guidelines for these tumors. A review of the literature has revealed the use of various adjuvant treatments. We, therefore, believe that a more detailed understanding of the biology of these tumors is necessary in order to find new target points for treatment. We would like to emphasize the importance of creating an international database of rare ovarian tumors which would make it possible to gather data from various oncological centers and enable further research into these neoplasms.

Acute Suppurative Thyroiditis

Congenital fourth branchial arch anomalies are uncommon entities. Most of these anomalies are diagnosed in childhood. The majority of cases occur on the left side. The clinical presentation of these anomalies varies with age. A respiratory distress is the usual clinical presentation in neonates, cervical cutaneous fistulas in late childhood or acute suppurative thyroiditis. Multiples diagnostic options have been described with different modalities of treatment. The majority of cases of fourth branchial arch anomalies are described only in case reports. We report a clinical case of recurrent cervical abscess in a young woman due to a residual fistula of fourth branchial arch.

Breast Recurrence

Bladder metastases from solid tumors are rare. Breast carcinoma cells seldom spread to the urinary bladder. We report the case of a patient with invasive breast carcinoma who developed a breast recurrence followed by bone and urinary bladder metastases. Starting from this clinical case we review the available literature on this issue. Only few cases of urinary bladder metastases from primary breast cancer have been reported, although the case reports have increased in recent years. Patients with breast cancer presenting with urinary symptoms should be examined for possible bladder metastases.

The literature on palinopsia (visual perseveration) is reviewed, utilizing case reports of 46 patients who demonstrated this symptom. The most common etiologies for this symptom are space-occupying lesions, cerebral infarct, and seizure activity. The vast majority are due to central nervous system pathology occurring in the posterior (occipital or parieto-occipital) region, often in the right hemisphere. Proposed mechanisms for palinopsia are also discussed.

A bichectomia é um procedimento cirúrgico em que remove-se a parte correspondente ao coxim adiposo do Bichat, com finalidades estética e funcional. Tal procedimento está cada vez mais popular na Odontologia. Objetivo: Apresentar uma revisão narrativa da literatura sobre complicações associadas às cirurgias de bichectomia. Materiais e Métodos: Foi realizada uma busca de publicações sem restrição em relação ao ano de publicação em que foram realizados, incluído artigos científicos, relatos de caso clínicos, revisões de literatura, estudos descritivos e observacionais e excluindo cartas ao editor, editorias, teses e manografias  a partir dos descritores em saúde (DeCS) “anatomia” (anatomy), “bichectomia” (bichectomy), “odontologia” (dentistry). Usando as bases de dados Lilacs, SciELO e Pubmed. Conclusão: Bichectomia é um procedimento estético-funcional, que apresenta riscos de complicações potencialmente graves, destacando-se lesão do ducto de Stenon ou do ramo bucal do nervo facial, que provocam, respectivamente, sialocele, fístulas salivares e paralisia bucal temporária ou definitiva, além de hematomas, assimetria facial e infecções pós-operatórias.---Bichectomy is a surgical procedure in which the part corresponding to the fat pad of Bichat is removed, with aesthetic and functional purposes. Such procedure is increasingly popular in dentistry. Objective: To present a narrative review of the literature on complications associated with bichectomy surgery. Materials and Methods: A search for publications was performed without restriction regarding the year of publication, including scientific articles, clinical case reports, literature reviews, descriptive and observational studies and excluding letters to the editor, editorials, theses and manographies from the health descriptors (DeCS) “anatomy” (anatomy), “bichectomy” (bichectomy), “dentistry” (dentistry). Using Lilacs, SciELO and Pubmed databases. Conclusion: Bichectomy is an aesthetic-functional procedure that presents risks of potentially serious complications, especially  damage to the Stenon's   duct  or  the  buccal branch of the facial nerve, which   cause, respectively, sialocele, salivary fistulas and temporary or permanent buccal paralysis, in addition to bruises, facial asymmetry and postoperative infections.
