[The surgical treatment of thin melanoma].

Examination of more than 700 cutaneous melanoma cases, the authors have identified 19 so-called thin melanomas, which have evolved in the long time in metastases. Two tumor distinctive features, vascularization and regression, correlated between them, seem to be particularly important in outlining the future tumor behavior, and so these two parameters must be analysed and included in the histological report. In these cases it is undoubted the need to make a strict surveillance protocol, also more than 10 years. According to our opinion, surgical treatment can immediately provides, in selected cases, the use of sentinel lymph node technique or the integration with other therapies (immuno-treatment).

[Pseudosarcomatous lesions: report of two cases].

Of unknown etiology, mainly located on the upper limbs, the nodular fasciitis nowadays is considered as a reactive inflammatory lesion more than a neoplastic one. With very few symptoms, it can be diagnosed through histology and the extent of the excision is related to the report of the pathological examination.

[Breast lymphoma: diagnostic and surgical approach].

By clinical observation and surgical treatment of a patient with a primitive lymphoma of the breast, the authors describe the nosological approach, the correct diagnosis and the relative surgical treatment in that disease.

[Small bowel lymphomas: a case report].

The Authors, reporting a recent case of small bowel lymphoma, review progress in diagnosis, methodology and therapeutical approach. They also stress the crucial role of surgery as diagnostic and therapeutic tool, sometimes curative in early stages, and however necessary for a proper staging and definition of these rare neoplasms of intestinal tube.

[Parietal implantation after thoracoscopic surgery: a case report].

The Authors report the case of a patient who underwent video-thoracoscopic resection of a solitary pulmonary metastasis. She presented, after about two years, a local relapse (implantation) in the trocar site. Pathogenesis and surgical therapeutic problems are discussed as well.

[Rare pathology of the breast: adenoma of the nipple].

Adenoma of the nipple is a benign pathology which histologically interests the epithelium of the galactophorous ducts. This pathology looks like Paget's disease both macroscopically and microscopically, therefore an exact differential histologic diagnosis is needed with the breast's carcinoma to undertake the most timely surgical therapy.

[Non-parasitic splenic cysts].

The Authors report their experience matured during the last decade in the Institute of III Surgical Clinic of the University "La Sapienza" in Rome, relatively to 174 patients operated of splenectomy of which 8 for not parassitair benign cystic pathology. After the nosologic organization of the varied types of cystics splenopaty is examined the different symptomatology and is discussed the different treatment.

[Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (Lynch syndrome): a review of the literature and case reports].

The recent observation of a new HNPCC patient case induced the Authors to review their experience with the syndrome as well as to make an up to date of the problems related to diagnosis, surgical management, surveillance and genetic counselling for such patients with a lifelong high cancer risk. Patients with HNPCC and their first-degree relatives, whose risk of early colorectal carcinoma (especially in the proximal colon) as well as a variety of extracolonic cancers (particularly endometrium, ovary, stomach, small bowel, ureter and renal pelvis) is significantly higher then that of patients with sporadic carcinoma, should be properly managed with surgery and then with endoscopic examination (ideally all life long) starting--in unaffected individuals--at early age (25 years old). Problems related to genetic counselling are considered as well.

[Gastric leiomyoma. Diagnostic and surgical problems].

The Authors report their three year experience with five patients suffering from gastric leiomyoma, each with different anatomical and clinical characteristics. The Authors have performed a research of the different diagnostics, clinical and therapeutic problems of these rare tumors that sometimes are asymptomatic in spite of the large size they reach, but more frequently they present with haemorrhagic symptoms which tend to point to other more frequent pathological conditions. Diagnosis can only be suspected, but cannot be reached without a histological examination, also if the classifications of these tumors have been argument of many changes, particularly by the light of the recent diagnostics possibilities offered by ultrastructural and immunohistochemical examination.

[Criteria of choice in prosthetic surgery of laparocele].

The employment of prosthesis in abdominal plastic surgery for incisional hernia has contributed to a remarkable improvement in the results of this surgery. The current use of PTFEe, according to the Authors experience, proves to be effective. Both satisfactory functional results and evident aesthetic advantages are obtained. The Authors report their experience in the treatment of the median incisional hernia also by means of a polypropylene mesh. The latter was shaped in a very original way thanks to a technique borrowed from plastic surgery. The complete mobilization of the ombilicus, by a circular incision, allowed the Authors to insert this prosthesis symmetrically under the rectus abdominis muscles for the entire extension of the incisional hernia.

[Primary sarcoma of the breast: criteria for radical surgery].

The experience in a case of primitive stromal sarcoma of the breast brought the Authors to study and to characterize the surgical interventions to prefer in these tumors. Criteria of radicality are considered in the light of the modern notion of "anatomical compartment" already applied to the sarcomas of the musculoskeletal or parenchymal location, from which breast sarcomas don't differ in order to the clinical behavior.

[H mesh prosthesis in the treatment of ventral hernia].

The Authors report their experience in the treatment of ventral hernias using a Marlex mesh moulded in an original way with a technique partially derived from plastic surgery. The complete mobilization of the umbilicus through a circular incision allows to fit this prosthesis symmetrically below the rectus abdominis muscles for the entire extension of the hernia.

[The criteria for choosing the surgical approach to cervicomediastinal goiters].

The retrospective analysis of a series of 350 cases of intrathoracic goiters, out of a total of 5,000 thyroid operations derived from the joined case records of the 3rd General Surgery Institute (Director: Prof. G. Di Matteo) and the 8th Chair of Surgical Pathology (Director: Prof. F.P. Campana), has induced the authors to reconsider the surgical approach to this pathology on the basis of anatomo-surgical factors.

[Direct post-mastectomy reconstruction with skin expansion. Technical notes].

The demolition-reconstruction sequence in patients suffering from breast cancer may, in selected cases, be reduced to two surgical steps alone without compromising the radical nature of the surgery or the aesthetic result. The technical details of a protocol realisable in a short time that proposes on the one hand classical radical mastectomy (according to Patey or Madden) and on the other reconstruction by tissue expansion are described.

[Liposuction treatment for lipodystrophy of the pelvis and the legs].

In a series of 20 lipolysis procedures, there have been no serious major and few minor complications. Selection of patients is important and the best results can be acquired in the patients under 35 years of age. The postoperative circulation and diuresis control are very important particularly during the first 24 hours.
