Thyroid hemiagenesis (TH) is a rare congenital anomaly where one lobe fails to develop, especially more frequently occurs on the left lobe. The exact mechanisms for thyroid morphogenesis remain unclear. In this paper, we report a rare case of right lobe TH associated with Hurthle cell carcinoma.

A 59years old woman was admitted with a neck lump increasing in size in the last 20years. There were no symptoms of hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism. There was a palpable, painless 5cm mass in the middle of the neck. Initial thyroid ultrasonography (USG) revealed an enlarged left lobe, with hypoechoic lesion with cystic component and calcification (TIRADS 4). However, the right lobe was non-visualized. Fine needle aspiration biopsy result tendency was a malignancy. Hence, isthmolobectomy was conducted. Pathology result was Hurthle cell carcinoma. On the ninth month, USG revealed fibrotic tissue in the right thyroid bed and bilateral lymphadenopathy. Due to discrepancy, the patient was planned for a neck exploration surgery and a right lobe incision. Intraoperatively, the right thyroid was absent. Intraoperative USG also confirmed no right thyroid lobe.

Thyroid hemiagenesis can be visualized by using USG due to its practicality and cost effectiveness reasons. Follow up evaluations consisted of systematic monitoring of thyroid morphology and hormonal functions should follow the diagnosis of TH. link2 Neck exploration surgery might need to be performed to clarify any discrepancy and confirm the diagnosis.

TH can be recognized through supporting examination; however, discrepancy may occur.

Vertical maxillary excess, a common orthodontic problem that leads to long faces and open bites, can be repositioned with a Le Fort I osteotomy. However, the Le Fort I osteotomy poses the risk of a variety of complications including descending palatine artery (DPA) injury. Although several Le Fort I osteotomy modifications were reported to avoid complications associated with this osteotomy, only a few of such studies were conducted in Japan, and details remain scarce.

We performed a literature review regarding modifications of Le Fort I osteotomies, including Le Fort I with a horseshoe osteotomy, modified horseshoe osteotomy, unilateral horseshoe osteotomy, pyramidal osteotomy, and U-shaped osteotomy. We identified eight relevant studies conducted in Japan; one study did not provide the number of patients examined. The 77 patients (seven studies) with vertical maxillary excess who underwent orthognathic surgery were ≥17years old.

There were no severe complications after the modified Le Fort I osteotomies. The postoperative maxillary changes obtained by the conventional horseshoe, modified horseshoe, unilateral type of horseshoe, pyramidal, and U-shaped osteotomies were nearly repositioned to the planned position and remained stable for ≥12months post-surgery.

Our review indicates that preserving the DPA can lower the incidence of intra- and post-operative complications. Each modification of the Le Fort I osteotomy (i.e., conventional horseshoe, modified horseshoe, unilateral horseshoe, pyramidal, and U-shaped osteotomy) has its respective advantages and indications.

Essential thrombocythemia (ET) is a myeloproliferative disorder characterized by increased platelet count and a high risk of bleeding or thrombotic events due to platelet dysfunction. Patients with ET are treated according to their risk of complications with cytoreductive or anti-aggregant treatment. Neither guidelines for oncologic patients nor perioperative management of patients with ET have been determined.

A 41-year-old female patient with ET who had alternating constipation and diarrhea was referred after a screening colonoscopy diagnosing a locally advanced rectosigmoid junction colon adenocarcinoma with liver metastases. Systemic preoperative chemotherapy was indicated. The patient underwent laparoscopic low anterior resection plus volume-preserving right lobectomy of the liver. Postoperative bleeding of the internal iliac artery (IIA) associated with hematoma at the lower pelvic cavity was diagnosed and treated by interventional radiology; the patient was discharged without other complications 16days after surgery.

ET has been related to the development of hematologic complications or second non-hematologic malignancies. A systematic review was conducted to seek guidance for the management of such patients in the perioperative period. Special perioperative care must be taken, and complications management should avoid further hemorrhages or cloth formation.

Under oncologic and hematological guidance, minimally invasive surgery and non-invasive management of complications are advised in the lack of published perioperative management guidelines of ET patients with colorectal cancer.

Duodenal teratoma is a rare condition with only four cases reported in the English literature. Radiological imaging and tissue sample are necessary for diagnosis in addition to tumor markers. The most effective treatment is still complete excision with safety margins.

We report a case of 26years-old-man, in whom epigastric pain, decreased appetite, and postprandial bilious vomiting had been prevalent for 5-6months and had exacerbated prior to the emergency room. Enhanced abdominal computed tomography revealed a 10×15cm heterogeneous solid mass with cystic component in the third duodenum segment. link3 The inferior veina cava and aorta were both compressed, although there was no sign of lymphadenopathy or ascites. An ulcerating non-bleeding lesion at the D2-D3 junction of the duodenum was discovered during a gastroduodenoscopy. Biopsies and immunohistochemical investigations revealed findings that were consistent with a mixed non-seminomatous germ cell tumor. A PET-CT scan was performed, which revealed FDG uptake by the duodenal lesion but no evidence of metastatic lesions. A distal duodenal segmentectomy is performed, and then a duodeno-jejunal anastomosis is used to restore continuity. The final diagnosis was teratomatous tumor of the duodenum without malignant changes.

This is the second adult case of main duodenal teratoma that has been reported. We publish it to encourage surgeons to think about this differential diagnosis and carefully plan surgery using a multidisciplinary approach.

Treatment of elbow bone defects is still a huge challenge in orthopaedic in order to restore the shape and function of the elbow joint. Bone defect reconstruction is very difficult due to biomechanical complexity of the elbow joint and the poor coverage tissue of this area, so mega-prothesis can be considered the most optimal solution in these cases.

We present two clinical cases of megaprosthesis elbow replacement for treatment of bone defects caused by sequelae of trauma. There is one case of 3cm bone defect at proximal ulna and one case of 3cm bone defect at distal humerus. In the 1st case, the elbow joint is fusioned and the second case, the elbow joint is degenerated totally after 3 previous surgery. We performed total elbow replacement with a customized megaprosthesis for them. The Mayo elbow function assessment scale [1] pre-surgery was poor at 50 points. The average age is 35years old. The mean post-operative follow-up time was 14months. Range of elbow flexed motion was 135 degrees, both patients were maximally extension, the forearm pronation and supination were 90 and 75 degrees, respectively. The Mayo score is very good with 97,5 points. Both patients were completely satisfied with the postoperative results.

Our results show that megaprosthesis elbow replacement is a very effective option for cases large elbow bone defects due to trauma sequelae. However, careful preoperative preparation is required for the best outcome.

Post-surgical Page kidney due to large renal hematoma following percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a rare significant complication that may lead to loss of a kidney.

A 50-year-old lady underwent elective left side PCNL for a 3cm renal pelvis stone, and one week later, she presented back with a massive renal hematoma with high blood pressure.

The ultrasound abdomen and computed tomography diagnosed a page kidney due to massive intrarenal and perirenal hematoma as a complication of PCNL. Angioembolization and percutaneous aspiration were failed, and the antihypertensives also failed to control the blood pressure. Therefore, she underwent a left-side simple nephrectomy and had an uneventful recovery with reversal of normal blood pressure.

Post-surgical page kidney needs to identify early to facilitate the percutaneous radiological interventions that may preserve the renal parenchyma and avoid further surgeries. Nevertheless, late cases or the failed radiologically intervened cases need open renal exploration and simple nephrectomy, which may be the bailed-out procedure to reverse the consequence of page kidney.

Vascular access is essential in the management of patients, and sometimes poses a problem, especially in patients requiring chronic treatment. Surgical insertion of the port-a-cath solved this problem by providing easy access, but unfortunately, it's associated with some complications.

We present a case of 32year-old woman, diagnosed with advanced breast cancer, admitted for insertion of a port-a-cath for neoadjuvant chemotherapy. A few hours after the operation, the patient developed hoarseness and a cough. A flexible laryngoscope showed the left vocal cord which was fixed in the middle position and did not move, while the other maintained normal motility. The patient was treated conservatively.

This case demonstrated a rare and unexpected complication of the insertion of a port-a-cath, which is the result of an injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve. We are reporting this case to encourage physicians to take note of this complication and know how to manage it.
