Hibernoma: a case report and discussion of a rare tumor
Hibernomas account for less than 2 % of all benign lipomatous tumors and 1 % of all lipomatous tumors. They are usually found in 20–40-year old adults (the average age of patients is 38 years). The clinical manifestations are painless soft tissue mass that are mostly slow growing; rapid growth is only found in a small number of patients. We present a case of successful surgical treatment of a pathologically confirmed rare lipomatous tumor of large size, which was located in the soft tissues of the thigh. A 46-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital due to a tumor 20 × 10 &ti

Leiomyosarcoma of the diaphragm is an extremely rare disease. No more than 20 cases have been described so far. All patients needed reconstruction of the dome of the diaphragm, including with the use of implants. The article presents a clinical case of treatment of a 40-year-old woman with giant leiomyosarcoma of the left diaphragmic cupola. The ex- tirpation of the tumor as a single block with the diaphragm and the pericardial wall was performed, followed by the restoration of the abdominal obstruction with nickel-titanium metal knitwear.

Canine osteosarcoma is a most common bone tumor in dogs, usually involving long tubular bones lesion. Limb-sparing treatment method allows to save extremity functionality and sufficiently improve quality of life in comparison with amputation. To analyze the survival rates and local results after limb-sparing treatment of canine osteosarcoma using bio-implantation – de-immunized allogenic bone populated with recipient stromal mesenchymal cell preparation. Group of 25 dogs underwent a combined treatment including cisplatinum chemotherapy (60–70 mg/m2 intravenously infusion at 14&n

Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) poses a challenging complication for many patients undergoing arthroplasty, and the literature identifies numerous risk factors. A comprehensive understanding of the primary risk and protective factors for PJI is valuable for surgeons. This article aims to compile and summarize the key risk factors for PJI documented in the literature. Some risk factors are related to the nutritional status of patients, with obesity, weight loss, hypovitaminosis, and malnutrition being frequently reported. Pathologies affecting patients also contribute to PJI risk, inclu

Patients with malignant neoplasms have an increased risk of atrial fibrillation. Prevalence of this pathology among oncological patients is 20–30 %, and it significantly varies depending on tumor type, chemotherapy treatment and initial comorbid status. Atrial fibrillation and malignant neoplasms have similar risk factors. Researchers have identified several possible causes characteristic of these diseases, primarily, systemic inflammation. Some chemotherapies cause abnormalities in ionic channels of atrial cardiomyocytes which leads to changes in the action potential and refractory p
