A rare case of chest wall tuberculosis: Tuberculous scapulothoracic bursitis.

ABSTRACT: Chest wall tuberculosis is a relatively rare extrapulmonary tuberculosis, and is often difficult to diagnose and treat because of the lack of symptoms. The scapulothoracic joint is a special joint that does not have a joint capsule, cartilage, or synovial membrane but consists of muscle and bursa. Tuberculosis infection of the scapulothoracic joint is an extremely rare musculoskeletal tuberculosis of the chest wall. Herein, we present the diagnosis and treatment strategy for tuberculous scapulothoracic bursitis in an 82-year-old man who was successfully treated.

Tuberculous cold abscess of the chest wall: A clinical and surgical experience. Report of 16 cases(Case series).

Project description:BackgroundTuberculosis is a public health problem in developing countries. Tuberculosis of the chest wall is rare and often presents as cold abscess (to differentiate from pyogenic abscess) or pseudotumoral mass whose diagnosis is difficult and often requires a surgical biopsy.Patients and methodsThe medical series of 16 patients with cold chest wall abscess treated with surgery in association to anti-tubercular therapy were analysed retrospectively for the period of 7 years between January 2011 to December 2017 at Mohamed V Military Teaching Hospital - Rabat - Morocco.ResultsThe clinical examination provided a correct preoperative diagnosis of the abscess in all cases. Five patients had a past history of pulmonary tuberculosis and three patients had concomitant active infection. There were 6 cases on the left side, 9 cases on the right side and one case on the anterior chest wall. All patients underwent surgical drainage and debridement with specimens for bacteriology and histology. It was not necessary to resect ribs or sternum in all cases (sample costal or sternal curettage in one case each). Anti-tubercular treatment was routinely administered (6-9 months) with drug combinations of Isoniaside, Rifampicin, Pyrazinamide and Ethambutol. The evolution was favorable in all cases without complications or recurrences.ConclusionDrainage of chest wall abscess and complete debridement provide adequate treatment. Post-operative anti-bacillary therapy should be combined with surgical procedures to minimize local complications and recurrence of infection.

Currarino-Silverman syndrome: diagnosis and treatment of rare chest wall deformity, a case series.

Project description:BackgroundCurrarino-Silverman (CS) syndrome is an extremely rare congenital deformity of the anterior chest wall. The syndrome is often combined with congenital heart defects and spinal abnormalities. As of currently, there is a lack of definite description in the literature about this type of pectus deformity. Typically, patients do not require surgical intervention for medical reasons, and the correction is usually only for cosmetic purposes. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate surgical intervention for CS syndrome at a tertiary care facility, and to summarize the available literature.MethodsPatients with CS syndrome were retrospectively reviewed from a period of June 2012 to August 2019. An extensive literature search for "Currarino-Silverman syndrome," "pouter pigeon chest," "chondromanubrial deformity," "type 2 pectus carinatum" and "pectus arcuatum" was performed.ResultsFour clinical cases of CS syndrome are presented, two of which were symptomatic and corrected. The procedure of choice was the modified Ravitch-type thoracoplasty with double osteotomy and implantation of support plates.ConclusionsThere is no clear definition of CS syndrome in the literature. Correct and uniform classification plays a crucial role in the surgical treatment of this pathology. Due to the extreme rarity of the disease, challenging deformity, and variable anatomy of the fused sternum, there are no clear guidelines in treatment approaches. The correction is mostly pursued only for cosmetic results, and the best surgical option for CS syndrome remains the relatively aggressive Ravitch-type procedure with multi-level wedge osteotomy.

Endoscopic Resection of Recalcitrant Tuberculous Bursitis of the Popliteal Fossa.

Project description:Tuberculosis of the musculoskeletal system is uncommon and constitutes 1% to 5% of all forms of tuberculosis. In total, 30% of skeletal tuberculosis involves the joints, the knee being the third most commonly affected after the spine and the hip. Knee tuberculosis commonly presents as synovitis or arthritis, and infected Baker's cyst is a rather rare presentation. It is believed to result from the propagation of tuberculosis of the knee joint into the cyst, as approximately one half of the Baker's cyst communicates with the knee joint and it appears as swelling in the medial aspect of the popliteal fossa. For tuberculous popliteal bursitis at the lateral aspect of the popliteal fossa, it may be an extra-articular extension of tuberculosis of the knee joint via the popliteal hiatus. Chemotherapy remains the cornerstone of treatment; surgery is indicated in recalcitrant cases. In this Technical Note, the technical details of endoscopic resection of recalcitrant tuberculous bursitis at the lateral aspect of the popliteal fossa are described. This minimally invasive technique has the advantage of better cosmetic results and fewer wound complications and reduces the extent of surgical dissection as compared with open surgery.

Synovial sarcoma of the maxillary sinus and chest wall: An exceptional association of two synchronous rare locations, Case report.

Project description:IntroductionSynovial sarcoma is a malignant tumour of mesenchymal origin with an aggressive character and a rare cervicofacial location. Its management is multidisciplinary in order to improve prognosis and survival.Case reportWe report the case of two rare and synchronous localizations of monophasic synovial sarcoma of the maxilla and chest wall in a 58-year-old woman, whose management was based on exclusive chemotherapy.DiscussionThe cervicofacial location of synovial sarcoma represents 3% of all locations in the body. Its clinical and radiological manifestations are aspecific. Its diagnosis is based on a combination of histological and genetic arguments. Its therapeutic management depends on the tumour stage and prognostic factors.ConclusionEarly diagnosis of cervicofacial synovial sarcoma allows to avoid a mutilating procedure for the patient and to improve the long-term prognosis by a good control of the tumour.

Myositis ossificans in the chest wall: A case report.

Project description:Myositis ossificans is delineated and distinguished by the generation and deposition of cartilaginous and osseous soft tissues. It generally occurs in the lower extremities and is caused by direct trauma. During the different developmental stages of maturation, the lesion has different radiological appearances that can be confused with sarcomas. Here, we present the case of a 38-year-old woman who presented to the outpatient clinic with a painful mass in the lateral chest wall that had rapidly expanded and increased in size. The patient had no history of trauma. Chest computed tomography revealed an intramuscular mass in the lateral chest wall; postcontrast images demonstrated heterogeneous enhancement and peripheral calcification. The patient was then referred to our center for subsequent assessment and examinations. Pathological examination findings confirmed the diagnosis of myositis ossificans. Surgical resection was performed after obtaining patient consent. The symptoms experienced by the patient were successfully relieved, and no evidence of recurrence was observed during the 2-year follow-up period. Knowledge of the atypical locations of myositis ossificans, calcification patterns at different stages, and radiopathological correlations can help accurately diagnose myositis ossificans and avoid unnecessary medical imaging and interventions.

Tuberculous osteomyelitis of the maxilla: A rarest of rare case report.

Project description:Tuberculosis is a chronic granulomatous systemic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The oral lesions found in tuberculosis are relatively rare and may present as ulcers, erythematous patches, indurated lesions, nodules or as bony jaw lesions. Oral tubercular lesions sometimes present a confusing clinical presentation and can be overlooked. Hence, we document a case of tuberculous osteomyelitis of the maxilla in a 19-year-old female patient, who was initially treated for multiple periodontal dental abscesses, which later proved to be tubercular osteomyelitis of the maxilla. Although it is a rare occurrence, the differential diagnosis of tuberculous osteomyelitis must always be considered when it fails to respond to routine therapy.

Desmoid-type fibromatosis of the chest wall: a case report.

Project description:Desmoid-type fibromatosis (DF), also known as deep fibromatosis or desmoid tumor, is an extremely rare neoplasm that develops from fascia and musculoaponeurotic tissue. These tumors are characterized by slow progressive growth, local invasion, and local recurrence after surgical excision, but they lack metastatic potential. DF accounts for 3.5% of all fibrous tumors, with an annual incidence of approximately 2-4/million. Until now, only a small number of cases have been found in the chest wall. Herein, we present a rare case of chest wall DF in a 43-year-old female, which was discovered accidentally due to a thoracic wall mass that extended outward from the sternum. Computed tomography scans revealed a subcutaneous soft tissue mass anterior to the sternum, which was considered to be a mesenchymal tumor or an inflammatory lesion. The patient underwent surgical excision of the mass. The mass was completely removed and all margins were negative. According to the pathological results, the patient was finally diagnosed as DF. Postoperative radiotherapy was suggested subsequently, especially considering the locally aggressive and infiltrative nature of the tumor. However, this was rejected by the patient, and biannual re-examination was recommended instead. Despite the absence of postoperative radiotherapy, there was no evidence of local recurrence 2 years later. We consider regular postoperative follow-up may be able to replace postoperative radiotherapy, and if there exist an opportunity to completely resect the mass, surgical is a worthwhile choice.

Robotic chest wall resection for primary benign chest wall tumors and locally advanced lung cancer: an institutional case series and national report.

Project description:BackgroundLimited data exists for robotic chest wall resection; we report institutional and national experience of robotic chest wall resection.MethodsIn this comparative retrospective case series we describe patients who underwent robotic chest wall resection at our institution and enrich this case series with data from the National Cancer Database (NCDB). We describe our preoperative workup, operative technique, and postoperative care. Outcomes included conversion to open, length of stay, readmissions, and 30- and 90-day mortality. The results are descriptively reported and compared.ResultsWe describe 6 patients institutionally and 96 NCDB patients. At our institution 66.7% were males, median age was 70.0 (range, 39-91) years, and 50% were primary chest wall tumors. Median tumor size was 5.25 (range, 2.3-8.3) cm. Outcomes were as follows: no open conversions, median length of stay 3 (range, 1-6) days, no unplanned 30-day readmissions or 90-day mortality. In the NCDB, 55.2% were males with median age of 68.5 (range, 30-89) years. Median tumor size was 3.90 (range, 2.4-6.0) cm. NCDB outcomes were as follows: 18.8% open conversion, median length of stay 7 (range, 5-10) days, 3.1% unplanned 30-day readmission, and 8.3% 90-day mortality. Our institutional case series had 18.0 months median follow-up (range, 6-54 months) with no functional deficits. Median survival in NCDB was 49.6 months.ConclusionsRobotic chest wall resection is feasible and is performed nationally with acceptable short- and long-term outcomes. Our institutional experience reports our technique, resultant short hospital stay, and excellent functional outcomes.
