Fibrous histiocytoma (FH) within the finger, particularly involving the flexor tendon sheath, is a rare entity. While cutaneous fibrous histiocytomas have been documented in the fingers, their occurrence around the flexor sheath presents a unique …

Schwannomas, which are benign mesenchymal tumors derived from Schwann cells, are common in the central nervous system. While they are commonly seen in the extremities and head-neck area, their presence in visceral organs, particularly the …

Elective neck dissection (END) has been established as an integral component of the surgical management of early-stage, clinically node-negative oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), conferring an overall and cancer-specific survival benefit apart …

Suppression or overexpression of transmembrane proteins of the Wnt family and receptor tyrosine kinases (ROR1 and ROR2) is implicated in the causation of cancer. The objective of this study was to determine the expression of ROR2 in patients with …

Head and neck cancers are considered to be the most common cancers in developing countries, especially in Southeast Asia. In India, it accounts for one-fourth of male cancers and one-tenth of female cancers. An attempt was made to study head and …

Ewing’s sarcoma/primitive neuroectodermal tumour is a malignant small round blue cell tumour of neuroectodermal origin that affects bones and soft tissue in children and young adults. These are aggressive malignant tumours, and long-term survival …

Soft tissue sarcomas (STSs) account for less than 1% of the overall human burden of malignant tumors. The intent of treatment in metastatic STSs is palliative and prognosis is dismal. This study aims to evaluate the role of low-dose radiotherapy …

Skin appendageal tumours (SATs) are uncommon tumours that differentiate towards one or more appendageal structures. Benign SATs are relatively common, while malignant tumours are rare. These are locally aggressive tumours, with malignant cases …

Reconstructing defects of the shoulder and posterior scalp, arising following tumor resection, requires careful consideration of available options. While free tissue transfers and local advancement flaps have their established roles, the trapezius …

Ultrasound elastography is a promising new technique in the evaluation of the thyroid nodule. It allows for “virtual palpation” of the nodule, even smaller ones which may not be otherwise palpable clinically. Ultrasound elastography was developed …

Primary inferior vena cava(IVC) leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is an extremely rare retroperitoneal mesenchymal tumour with < 500 cases reported in literature so far. Patients always present with nonspecific complaints, hence delaying the actual diagnosis …

Primary sternal tumours are rare. Most of them are malignant in nature. When localized, cure can be achieved by radical resection. However, it leaves a large bony defect in front of the heart that makes reconstruction a challenge. In this report …

In the era of free flaps, we propose a simple yet effective local flap, the digastric muscle flap, to reconstruct floor of the mouth defects and to repair an orocervical fistula that is created during excision of tongue and/or floor of the mouth …

Sexual health is often a neglected issue and affects the quality of life after treatment completion in breast cancer patients. The aim of the study was to find the incidence of sexual dysfunction and impact of mastectomy, breast conservation …

Primary mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the esophagus is a rare condition characterized by a combination of squamous and mucin-secreting glandular malignant cells. Its clinical recognition is often challenging, pre-operative diagnosis is difficult …

Organ preservation surgery is the need of the hour in cancer management whenever it is feasible. Vascular continuity is a must for organ preservation. We found such same in this article. We retrospectively collected the data of all cases which …

Metastasis of ovarian cancer to the stomach is extremely rare. The tumors most commonly metastasizing to the stomach include melanoma, breast, lung, and oesophageal carcinoma, while ovarian cancer comprises only 0.013–1.6% of all gastric …
