Abstract

A review of the recent literature concerning the C.A. has been made. Two major facts appear to be confirmed: the rising incidence of the disease for adults as in other S.T.D. and the oncogenicity of some of the HPV's (Human Papillomavirus) isolated from the C.A.: HPV 16, 18, 31, 33 and 35. A peculiar attention has been paid to the para-clinical evaluation of the patient and his partner. The different therapeutic modalities are reviewed: their choice should be based on duration, spreading and localization of the lesions, age and immunological status of the patient. The problem of treating condylomata acuminata during pregnancy is also discussed.

[High incidence of non-AIDS-defined cancers among HIV-infected patients in Germany. A 3-year nationwide review].

OBJECTIVE: It was the main aim of this study to obtain data on the epidemiology of AIDS- and not AIDS-defined malignancies in HIV-positive persons, the results to provide an epidemiological overview and to be the basis for further research initiatives. Additionally it sought to gain an impression of the realities of treatment of patients with HIV-associated malignant tumors in Germany. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Over a period of 3 years (from the beginning of 2000 to the end of 2002) data were retrospectively collected on the incidence of malignant tumors in HIV-positive patients. A questionnaire was sent to all members of the German Working Party of Physicians in Private Practice Treating HIV-Infected Patients, all members of the Association of Haematologists and Oncologists in Private Practice, and all out-patient HIV clinics in Germany. The questionnaires were sent to a total of 949 practices/clinics. The data were collected on all AIDS- and not-AIDS-defined haematological malignancies and all AIDS- and not-AIDS-defined solid malignant tumors in HIV-positive patients, as well as on time of diagnosis of the malignancy, tumor stage, tumor treatment and response to treatment. RESULTS: 380 data sets on 376 patients of 50 practices/clinics were included in the analysis (four patients had two malignant tumors). 180 malignant neoplasms (47%) were AIDS-defined: 89 Kaposi's sarcomas, 82 aggressive B-cell lymphomas and 9 invasive cervical carcinomas. The aggressive B-cell lymphomas consisted of 19 cases of Burkitt's lymphoma, 8 of Castleman's disease and 12 of primary cerebral malignant lymphoma. Of the 200 (52.6%) not-AIDS-defined malignant tumors 133 were 133 solid tumors, 40 of them anal carcinoma (20% of all not-AIDS-defined malignancies) and 67 haematological malignancies, 22 of these Hodgkin's lymphoma (11.0% of all not-AIDS-defined malignancies). The incidence of anal carcinoma is estimated to be 34 (95% CI 24-470) per 100 000 patient-years, that of Hodgkin's lymphoma 19 (95% CI 12-28) per 100 000 patient-years. CONCLUSIONS: This study indicates that over a period of 3 years there was a very high incidence of not-AIDS-defined malignancies. Of special note is the high incidence of anal carcinoma and Hodgkin's lymphoma, compared with their incidence among the entire German population.

A prepelvic tunnel for the rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap in perineal reconstruction.

BACKGROUND: The use of the transpelvic vertical rectus abdominis myocutaneous (VRAM) flap in pelvic reconstruction is well documented. It can be used to fill large defects after pelvic exenteration, reconstruct the vagina and provide skin coverage in perineal reconstruction. This study examines an alternate prepelvic pathway for the flap to enhance its versatility and reliability. PATIENTS AND METHOD: A female patient with recurrent squamous cell carcinoma in the pelvis, who underwent radical pelvic exenteration and a successful VRAM flap reconstruction with a prepelvic tunnel. RESULTS: The patient experienced a small area of epithelial tip necrosis over the sacral promontory from shear forces. This healed with dressings within two weeks. There were no major flap complications and the patient had good flap integrity at one-year follow-up. The prepelvic pathway for the VRAM flap is advantageous to the conventional transpelvic course in perineal reconstruction. The more direct, shorter path to the defect allows for a more reliable skin paddle design without the need for de-epithelialisation. A greater area of skin paddle is available and creates a more versatile flap with no tension on the pedicle. This is especially in cases where a skin paddle is needed for vaginal reconstruction or when pelvic organs such as bladder and uterus are left in situ. These advantages may result in less flap complications.
