Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) leading to pseudotumour's autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP): A case report

2012

International audience; Introduction: Autoimmune pancreatitis is an idiopathic inflammatory disease that produces pancreatic masses and ductal strictures. This benign disease can be associated with extrapancreatic manifestations including cholangitis, sialadenitis, inflammatory bowel disease or retroperitoneal fibrosis, mediastinal adenopathy, interstitial nephritis mainly due to immunoglobulin G4 (Ig G4), and occasional association with other auto-immune diseases. Observation: We report a 57-year-old woman who developed thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (UP) and pseudo-tumour's seronegative autoimmune pancreatitis (ATP) type 1. The patient was initially treated with pulse corticosteroids…

Primary Mucinous Adenocarcinoma of the Urinary Bladder with Signet-Ring Cells: Description of an Uncommon Case and Critical Points in Its Management

2016

We present an uncommon case of mucinous adenocarcinoma of the bladder (MAB) with signet-ring cells extensively infiltrating prostate gland and pelvic/retroperitoneal lymph node stations and not responsive to usual systemic chemotherapy regimens. This case highlights the important features of MAB including the pattern of tumor spread, the tendency for initial misdiagnosis, and the importance of immunohistochemical study in order to define its primary origin from the bladder and choose the most appropriate treatment since the beginning.

Carl Toldt Centennial, Surgeon and Anatomist

2021

Carl Florian Toldt was an Austrian anatomist who made meaningful contributions worldwide and defined what is one of the most important surgical landmarks in abdominal surgery. Through his research studies, the embryologic dissection plane known as the “White Line of Toldt” represents an important anatomical landmark that helps to mobilize either the ascending or descending colon. His career spanned over 45 years, beginning in Verona and continuing to Prague and Vienna. He was an author of several innovative books and scientific articles regarding micro- and macroscopic anatomy. In addition, he received numerous recognitions and prizes for his work, making him an essential figure in the med…

Technique and results of the retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy via a lumbar approach

1998

Introduction: Since 1992, endoscopic techniques have been used increasingly in adrenal-gland surgery. In the present paper, the technique of the retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy via a lumbar approach is described. Methods: The patient is placed in a lateral decubitus position. In the first step, a dilatation trocar is introduced in the retroperitoneal space to create an artificial cavity. The dilatation trocar is replaced by a blocking trocar to close off the operating field. After insufflation of CO2, two additional trocars are introduced in the area of the conventional flank incision. Adrenalectomy is performed via these ports. Once the adrenal gland is completely mobilized, it is inser…

Retroperitoneale Sarkome: Diagnostik und Therapie

2006

Background Due to the fact that there are no distinct anatomical compartments, retroperitoneal sarcomas are moreover diagnosed with evidence of large tumors and infiltration of adjacent organs. In spite of improvement of the diagnostic facilities and surgical techniques, quite frequently local recurrences with unfavourable prognosis turn up even after complete removal. It was the aim of this study to analyze diagnosis, therapy and long-term prognosis in patients with retroperitoneal sarcomas over a period of 10 years. Patients and methods Between January 1995 and January 2005, 379 patients underwent surgery for a primary retroperitoneal tumor at our clinic. Among the 67 (17.1 %) malignant l…

Safety and efficacy of intensity-modulated radiotherapy in the management of spermatic cord sarcoma.

2017

International audience; Purpose. - Spermatic cord sarcoma is a rare disease, which management remains controversial due to the lack of guidelines. The standard therapeutic approach is surgical: wide soft-tissue resection with radical inguinal orchidectomy, The diagnosis is made during the analysis of the specimen. The high rate of local recurrence indicates adjuvant radiotherapy of the tumor bed. The aim of this series is to determine the efficacy and safety of postoperative intensity-modulated radiotherapy for spermatic cord sarcomas. Patients and methods. - Our series included five consecutive cases of spermatic cord sarcoma treated between 2011 and 2014. The indications for radiotherapy …

A very rare cause of retroperitoneal bleeding in young patients: do not forget the occurrence of a ruptured left gastroepiploic artery aneurysm!

2019

Visceral artery aneurysms represent a very rare condition. The affected patients usually present as emergency secondary to the sudden rupture of the aneurysm or as an incidental finding on imaging. In this setting, gastric and gastroepiploic aneurysms account for only about 4% of all the splancnic aneurysms. Since ruptured visceral aneurysms present a high mortality, a prompt and adequate (surgical or radiological interventional) treatment is mandatory. Due to the difficulty in achieving an adequate transcatheter access in some cases the emergency laparotomy may represent the only chance for the recover of the affected patients. We report two cases of ruptured left gastroepiploic aneurysms …
