Desmoid tumors are slowly growing neoplasms that arise from fibroblasts. These tumors are locally aggressive and have a high rate of recurrence after surgery. Pancreatic desmoid tumors are extremely rare. The indications and outcomes of laparoscopic surgery for pancreatic desmoid tumors have not been fully elucidated. This report therefore aimed to describe a rare case of a pancreatic desmoid tumor in a patient who was successfully treated with laparoscopic spleen-preserving pancreatic resection.

We report a case of a 60-year-old man who presented with back pain. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan revealed a circumscribed tumor in the pancreatic tail measuring 3 cm. The patient underwent laparoscopic spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy. Pathological analysis revealed a desmoid tumor infiltrating the pancreatic parenchyma. There was no evidence of recurrence at 36 months of follow-up.

Isolated sporadic pancreatic desmoid tumors are extremely rare. Laparoscopic radical resection could be a safe and effective treatment for this benign but locally aggressive tumor. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to report a patient with a pancreatic desmoid tumor who was successfully treated with laparoscopic surgery.

Schwannomatosis is defined as multiple schwannomas without presence of neurofibromatosis and is a rare pathology. In vast majority of cases the schwannomas grow from different nerve roots or peripheral nerves.

A 52-year-old woman presented with multiple intradural schwannomas arranged in a chain along the spinal canal causing significant compression. The lesions were successfully removed using a left side en-bloc hemilaminectomy technique in order to preserve maximal stability of the posterior column. DT2216 Back and leg pain resolved completely. Tendon reflexes returned to normal shortly. There was decreased pain sensation in the distribution of the left L3 spinal root.

The traditional surgical strategy for posterior approach by laminectomy or laminotomy is sometimes complicated with instability or deformation of the vertebral column that requires surgical stabilization. We performed a one side en-bloc hemilaminectomy thus maintaining the integrity of the muscles and ligaments on the opposite side and preserving maximal stability of the vertebral column. Densely adherent tumors required careful sharp dissection and separation under neurosurgical monitoring and stimulation for recognition and preservation of spinal roots. An additional tumor was discovered by exploration of the spinal canal using an endoscope.

Multiple spinal cord schwannomas that are growing along the same part of the vertebral column can be safely removed by one-sided hemilaminectomy with preservation of the integrity of the muscles and ligaments on the opposite side and thus maintain spinal stability. The 30° endoscope can be a good tool for visual exploration of the spinal canal.

Silent sinus syndrome is a rare disorder that presents a diagnostic challenge, most of the patients with this syndrome present with ophthalmological complaints without any nasal sinus symptoms, and it has a painless course and slow development. The syndrome can be diagnosed clinically and confirmed radiologically, and CT imaging is considered the gold standard for its diagnosis. The classical radiographic findings are opacification and collapse of the sinus walls. Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is the standard gold treatment of choice to arrest the progression of the disease.

A case report of a 37-years-old-female who was complaining of severe throbbing pain since 2009, is presented here where the diagnosis of SSS was obtained in 2018, this delay in diagnosing the situation had affected the patient lifestyle tremendously.

Accordingly, knowledge of the signs and features of SSS can result in an accurate diagnosis. Suspected cases of silent sinus syndrome require prompt ear, nose, and throat referral for consideration of definitive diagnosis and surgical management. Nasal endoscopy and clinical evaluation are also essential for the diagnosis.

Our recommendation is to consider SSS as a differential diagnosis for patients with spontaneous enophthalmos and hypoglobus, even in the absence of maxillary sinus opacification. Moreover, encourage all the specialists in the medical and the dental field to communicate well together in cases like this.

There is a lack of prognostic models predicting the overall survival (OS) of advanced breast cancer (ABC) patients in China.

Data from the China National Cancer Center database that recorded 4039 patients diagnosed with breast cancer between 1987 and 2019 were extracted and a total of 2263 ABC participants were enrolled in this study, which were further randomized 31 and divided into training (n=1706) and validation (n=557) groups. The nomogram was built based on independent predictors identified by univariate and multivariate cox regression analyses. The discriminatory and predictive capacities of the nomogram were assessed by Harrell's concordance index (C-index) and calibration plots.

Univariate and multivariate analyses found that age, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score, T-stage, N-stage, tumor subtype, the presence of distant lymph node (DLN)/liver/brain metastasis, local therapy, efficacy of first-line therapy and metastatic-free interval (MFI) were significantly related to OS (all P<0.
