Maxillary Ameloblastoma: A Review With Clinical, Histological and Prognostic Data of a Rare Tumor
Diagnosis of odontogenic tumors can be challenging due to their rarity and diverse morphology, but when arising near the tooth, the diagnosis could be suspected. When their location is not typical, like inside the paranasal sinuses, the diagnosis is less easy. Maxillary ameloblastomas are exceedingly rare with only sparse information on their epidemiological, histological and genetic characteristics. The aim of this report is to thoroughly review the available literature in order to present the characteristics of this tumor. According to available data, maxillary ameloblastomas can occur in all ages but later than mandible...

Malignant Priapism - What Do We Know About It?
Malignancy as an etiological factor involved in priapism pathogenesis is rare. Malignant priapism (MP) can arise as a result of penile tumor invasion, either from primary penile tumors or from metastatic penile tumors, or due to hematological malignancies. Non-urological penile metastases are associated with significant worse prognosis compared to urological penile metastases, the appearance of priapism in such cases affecting even more the prognosis and the survival of these patients. Patients diagnosed with hematological malignancies and priapism present significant higher survival rates compared to those who develop MP ...

Postoperative Admission in Critical Care Units Following Gynecologic Oncology Surgery: Outcomes Based on a Systematic Review and Authors' Recommendations
Conclusion: Admission to CCU and length of stay following surgery for gynecologic malignancies is driven by specific patient characteristics as well as intraoperative values. Further studies are needed to validate high risk patients who will benefit from postoperative care to CCUs to ensure favorable postoperative outcomes and cost-effectiveness. (Source: In Vivo)

Cutaneous Stomal Recurrence of Colorectal Cancer After Curative Rectal Cancer Surgery - A Case Report and Systematic Review
Conclusion: Stomal metastases or metachronous colorectal cancer is uncommon. The causes for this pattern of spread are not clear. Long-term survival from cutaneous recurrence is generally poor. For carefully selected patients, redo surgery is an option with satisfactory results. (Source: In Vivo)

The Influence of "Omental Cake" Presence on the Completeness of Cytoreduction in Advanced-stage Ovarian Cancer
Conclusion: The presence of "omental cake" is associated with a higher rate of incomplete resections. However, in cases in which complete debulking was achieved, the presence of omental cake was associated with a significantly higher number of digestive tract resections. (Source: In Vivo)

Laparoscopic-assisted Esophageal Bypass for T4b Esophageal Tumor as a Bridge to Definitive Therapy
Conclusion: 3D laparoscopic-assisted esophageal bypass can be a safe and feasible approach in patients with advanced mid-esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and esophagobroncial fistula. Additionally to the advantages of laparoscopic surgery, this operation permits oral feeding, and can be used with possible curative intent in patients with adequate response to chemoradiotherapy.
