Surgical field fire during a repair of bronchoesophageal fistula.
Most surgical fires involve the airway but they can also occur in the surgical field. Herein, we report an intraoperative fire in the surgical field during repair of a bronchoesophageal fistula. During the portion of the surgery after the fistula was divided and the bronchus was open to atmosphere, continuous positive airway pressure was applied to the nondependent lung, and in conjunction with the use of electrocautery and dry sponges in the field, resulted in a fire. Anesthesia for thoracic surgery carries unique risks of fire because these patients frequently require large oxygen concentrations, special interventions for improving oxygenation, and have variable degrees of airway disruption. This report highlights unique safety concerns during anesthesia for thoracic surgery, and addresses more general safety issues relating to fire risk in all surgical patients.

Giant presacral myelolipoma.
Myelolipomas are benign tumors composed of hematopoietic tissue and mature fatty tissue and occur primarily in the adrenal glands. Extra-adrenal sites for these tumors are rare. To date 37 cases have been reported in the literature with more than half of these lesions being presacral in location. The purpose of this report is to raise awareness of this unusual tumor when formulating a differential diagnosis for retroperitoneal tumors. Presacral myelolipomas are easily confused with both primary and secondary malignant retroperitoneal tumors, which are far more common and aggressive neoplasms. Particular radiographic and histologic qualities distinguish this tumor from invasive malignancy. A case report is presented with a review of the literature on extra-adrenal myelolipomas.
