Abstract

From 1987 to 1992 at our Institute, 253 patients with non palpable breast lesions (NBPL) underwent a surgical excision. Fifty-one lesions (19.7%) were localized by an injection of a sterile 3% charcoal suspension under sonographic guide. The sonographic features of NBPL were classified as follows: positive in one case (2%), doubtful in 31 cases (60%) and negative in 19 cases (38%). According to our data the preoperative sonographic localization is a useful alternative procedure to stereotactis mammography in case of breast masses and/or areas of increased tissue density or distorted breast architecture.

Abstract

Surgery is the treatment of choice for thyroid cancer, often followed by I131 and thyroid hormone to control the local residual tumor and distant metastasis. Hundred and sixty-two patients with thyroid disease underwent surgery at the Division of Surgical Oncology of the Cancer Institute in Genoa. Thirty cases presented no malignant hot thyroid nodules, 37 of the other 132 cases were cancers (28%). In 23 cases (62%), the pathological diagnosis was papillary carcinoma, in ten cases (27%) follicular carcinoma, in four (11%) medullary carcinoma. In 13 cases (35%) (ten papillary carcinoma, two follicular carcinoma, one medullary carcinoma) the lesion was multicentric. Our data suggest that total thyroidectomy, performed in two steps, in most cases does not carry important post-operative morbidity but offers the greatest potential for cure. In our cases only one patient died (of the cancer). After radical surgery it is possible to detect and treat metastases by I131.

3. Retroperitoneal infectious myositis

Author

F, Badellino, G, Canavese, G, Amoretti, M, Scala, G, Battistini, L, Albanese, A, Catturich, and M, Panetta

Subjects
Adult, Male, Radiography, Myositis, Humans, Retroperitoneal Space, Staphylococcal Infections
Abstract

A case of retroperitoneal infectious myositis is described. The symptoms of infectious myositis may be confused with those of other more frequent soft tissue pathologies (haematoma and sarcomata). This infection is more frequent in countries with a tropical climate. The most frequent aetiological agent is Staphylococcus aureus. This paper reports on the diagnostic and therapeutic problems of this disease as recently observed at the Division of Surgical Oncology of the National Cancer Institute in Genoa.
