RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: This study aims to present the feasibility of the open approach of hemilevator excision (HLE) as a promising alternative of the laparoscopic and/or robotic ones for the treatment of low rectal cancer extending to the ipsilateral puborectalis muscle. METHODS: A 60-year-old male patient with a high-grade differentiated rectal adenocarcinoma at the right side of the lower rectum invading puborectalis muscle. The proposed operation consists of a combination of extralevator abdomino-perineal excision (ELAPE), intersphicteric resection (ISR), and low anterior resection (LAR) since it resects the ipsilateral to tumor levator ani muscle (LAM) from its attachment at the internal obturator fascia and the deep part of ipsilateral external anal sphincter (EAS), while the distal part of dissection is completed in the intersphincteric space taking out the internal anal sphincter (IAS). At the contralateral side of the tumor, the dissection plane follows the classic route of LAR. RESULTS: Pathology proved the oncologic adequacy of resection. MRI at the fourth postoperative week showed clearly the right aspect of anorectal junction free of tumor. Anorectal manometry revealed a fair anorectal function which is in accordance with the findings of clinical assessment of patient after restoring large bowel continuity (post-op Wexner score, 7). CONCLUSION: This is the first case of the open HLE that seems to be a good alternative compared to ELAPE or conventional APR, as it offers oncologic adequacy and a fair anorectal function.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata (LPD) is a peculiar benign clinical disorder characterized by proliferation of peritoneal and subperitoneal nodules. LPD is a difficultly diagnosed benign disease that rarely degenerates into malignancy. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 40-year-old Caucasian female with vaginal bleeding proceeded to our institution for elective excision of abdominal and pelvic masses which were firstly considered as leiomyosarcomas. The histologic diagnosis of the mass lesions revealed smooth muscle benign cells. This is the first case of LPD reported in Greece. A meticulous review of the literature was conducted as well. DISCUSSION: The differential diagnosis of LPD is difficult due to its clinical resemblance with peritoneal carcinomatosis or metastatic lesions and with benign metastasizing leiomyoma (BML) as well. Etiological factors, pathophysiology and clinical manifestations which lead to a safe diagnosis of LPD are adequately described. CONCLUSION: Surgeons' thorough knowledge concerning this rare clinical condition is fundamental and crucial in order to establish a correct diagnosis and assert the appropriate treatment and the minimization of the probability of malignant transformation of LPD.

RESUMEN

UNLABELLED: Until now, less than ten cases of extra-adrenal chromaffin cell tumors have been reported to be localized to the spermatic cord area. All published studies report benign tumors with a diameter <2-3 cm and no invasion of the testis. In this article, we present one case of a giant malignant paraganglioma in the testis of a patient who had initially been operated for a giant mass in the scrotum. The mass developed in approximately 4 months. This is the first study reporting the following findings: i) paraganglioma was found exclusively in the testis, invading the testicle and not the spermatic cord, ii) it was malignant with lung metastasis, and iii) its size was 17.5 cm×10 cm×9.5 cm. We present the first - giant - malignant paraganglioma. Moreover, it is the first case report of a paraganglioma in the testis. LEARNING POINTS: This is the first study reporting the following findings:Paraganglioma found exclusively in the testis, invading the testicle and not the spermatic cord.It is malignant with lung metastasis.It is of the size 17.5 cm×10 cm×9.5 cm.
