: Musculoskeletal tumors of the hand are a rare entity and are divided into skeletal and soft tissue tumors. Either category comprises benign and malignant or even intermediate tumors. Basic radiology allows an optimal resolution of bone and related soft tissue areas, ultrasound and more sophisticated radiologic tools such as scintigraphy, CT and MRI allow a more accurate evaluation of tumor extent. Enchondroma is the most common benign tumor affecting bone, whereas chondrosarcoma is the most commonly represented malignant neoplasm localized to hand bones. In the soft tissues ganglions are the most common benign tumors and epithelioid sarcoma is the most frequently represented malignant tumor targeting hand soft tissues. The knowledge regarding diagnostic and therapeutic management of these tumors is often deriving from small case series, retrospective studies or even case reports. Evidences from prospective studies or controlled trials are limited and for this lack of clear and supported evidences data from the medical literature on the topic are controversial, in terms of demographics, clinical presentation, diagnosis prognosis and therapy.The correct recognition of the specific subtype and extension of the tumor through first line and second line radiology is essential for the surgeon, in order to effectively direct the therapeutic decisions.

11547 Background: Anlotinib, a multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor, had been prove to be effective for the treatment of advanced or metastatic soft tissue sarcoma(STS) faild anthracycline chemotherapy. With the lack of prospective data of combination of PDL-1 inhibitor and antiangiogenic agent, we designed a phase 1b study to investigated the efficacy and safety of anlotinib plus TQB2450 in patients with STS. Methods: Eligible patients (age 18-70, ECOG 0-1, with histopathologically confirmed advanced STS, at least one measurable lesion according to RECIST 1.1, and previously received front-line anthracycline chemotherapy) were included and received anlotinib (12mg qd, D1-14, 21d/cycle) plus TQB2450 (1200 mg, IV, D1, 21d/cycle) until disease progression or intolerable toxicities.The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR), secondary endpoints included safety, overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), disease control rate (DCR). Results: From January 2019 to January 2021, 30 pts were enrolled1, 12 alveolar soft part sarcoma and 18 others (7 synovial sarcoma, 4 leiomyosarcoma, 5 undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma, 1 fibrosarcoma and 1 epithelioid sarcoma). ORR by RECIST was 36.7%, DCR was 83.3%, 11/30 pts had PR, 14/30 (46.7%) had SD, 5/30 (16.7%) PD. Median PFS was 9.6 m in all pts and 4.9m. in non-ASPS, respectively. Median OS in non-ASPS was 10.27m, while mOS in all pts and both mPFS and mOS in ASPS had not been reached. Notably, to ASPS pts, ORR was 75%, and DCR was 100%. The most common 1-2 grade treatment-related adverse reaction (TRAE) was hypothyroidism (19/30,63.3%),hypercholesterolemia (16/30, 53.3%) and hypertriglyceridemia (16/30, 53.3%), the most common ≥3 grade TRAEs were hypertriglyceridemia (3/30, 10%). 6 SAE (20%) occurred, including 2 pneumothorax, 1 Immune associated hapatic injury, 1 hypotension, 1 Immune myocarditis and 1 diabetic ketoacidosis. Conclusions: The combination of anlotinib and TQB2450 showed promising activity in second-line treatment of advanced STS, especially in ASPS, with well tolerance and acceptable toxicity.

During the last 15 years, cleft lip and palate (CLP) patients with maxillary deficiency in the care of the Bergen CLP team have undergone an interceptive orthopedic treatment phase during the deciduous and mixed dentition period. The present study includes 68 patients who received maxillary transverse expansion by use of a modified quad-helix appliance and 98 cases given maxillary protraction by a facial mask. All cases were treated until an acceptable normal occlusion was attained. Lateral cephalograms were taken immediately before and after the active treatment periods. Sagittal changes of the soft-tissue profile during transverse expansion and protraction were analyzed separately for unilateral complete cleft lip and palate (UCLP) patients and bilateral complete cleft lip and palate (BCLP) patients. The soft-tissue profiles of the groups were compared to growth changes of noncleft age-matched children (NORM group). During the short period of maxillary transverse expansion (mean period, 3.5 months) no significant change of the soft-tissue profile was found, except in the protrusion of the lower lip in the BCLP group. During the period of maxillary protraction (mean periods, 12 months in the UCLP group and 15 months in the BCLP group) the soft-tissue profile improved significantly by reducing the characteristic tendency towards a concave profile in CLP patients with maxillary deficiency. Significant Increases of the sagittal maxillomandlbular lip relation (angle SS-N-SM: mean Increase, 2.5 degrees) and the Holdaway-angle (H-angle: mean increase, 3.0 degrees) were found to be similar in the UCLP and BCLP groups. However, the use of different reference lines for evaluation of treatment effects upon the soft-tissue profile resulted in conflicting findings suggesting that anteriorly situated reference lines are more suitable for the evaluation of CLP patients. Thus, the esthetic line (E.line) indicated a favorable position of the lips after treatment; the subspinale-pogonlon line (ss.pg) revealed an Improved soft-tissue profile; the soft-tissue-facial line (N.PG) showed a retruded nose and upper lip; whereas basal references such as the nasion-sella line (NSL) and the occlusal-line perpendicular (OLP) mainly showed major differences between the CLP groups and the NORM groups.

Lymphotropic sarcomas encompass a rare subset of soft tissue sarcoma histotypes known for their distinct ability to metastasize to locoregional lymph nodes. Epithelioid and clear cell sarcomas are the predominant lymphotropic subtypes and the focus of this review. The utility of lymph node assessment, whether clinical, radiographic, and/or surgical, in patients with these sarcomas is presented. The role of sentinel lymph node biopsy as well as completion lymphadenectomy in patients with these lymphotropic sarcoma histotypes is discussed. Surgery remains the only potential curative option for these tumors, and advancement in histology-specific chemotherapeutic regimens and biologic therapy options is necessary.  This review contains 6 tables and 50 references. Key words: clear cell sarcoma, completion lymphadenectomy, epithelioid sarcoma, EWS-ATF1, limb-sparing surgery, lymph node metastasis, sentinel lymph node biopsy, soft tissue sarcoma

Objective: Extensive mandibulofacial defects can be challenging to reconstruct. We present the case of a complex mandibulofacial defect reconstructed with a mega, chimeric fibula free flap. Methods: Ablation of the oral cavity tumor resulted in a large defect involving mandible, floor of mouth, and tongue. Skin of the chin and neck as well as the lower lip were also resected. A fibula free flap was harvested with the skin paddle involving most of the lateral compartment. Results: The fibula free flap was split into proximal (80 cm2) and distal (120 cm2) skin paddle islands, which were supplied by separate perforators off the peroneal artery. The intraoral soft tissue defect was reconstructed with the proximal skin paddle while the skin was recreated with the distal skin paddle. A Karapandzic flap was used to reconstruct the lower lip. Conclusions: The traditional fibula free flap skin paddle often does not provide sufficient soft tissue coverage for large mandibulofacial defects. Some surgeons opt to harvest a second free flap. We describe our technique for using the mega fibula free flap – one of the largest reported in the literature – as a single mode of reconstruction.
