Introduction: Video endoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy – VEIL – has emerged as an alternative to reduce post-surgical complications (PSC) in patients with penile cancer submitted to inguinal lymphadenectomy (IL). In some series, these PSC are observed in more than 50% of patients. The objectives of the present study are to describe the initial experience of VEIL in a Hospital in Teresina, PI, Brazil, and to analyze PSC incidence. Material and Methods: Retrospective descriptive study of patients submitted to VEIL from March 2014 to November 2015. Data were collected regarding surgical time, bleeding, complications, lymph node number, conversion, global complications, drainage time, cellulitis, lymphocele, cutaneous necrosis, miocutaneous necrosis and hospitalization time. Results: 20 lower limbs of 11 patients were operated. Mean age was 51.4 (24-72) years. Mean surgical time was 85 (60-120) minutes. No patient showed intrasurgical complications, bleeding > 50 mL or conversion. Three surgeries evolved with lower limb edema, 2 with lymphoceles and one patient had cutaneous necrosis and another bulging of surgical wound. Mean time of hospitalization was 4 (2-11) days. A mean of 5.8 (1-12) lymph nodes were dissected in each surgery. Conclusion: VEIL is a safe and easy technique with lower incidence of PSC that can be reproduced in small centers.

Background Most endometrial cancers (75%) are diagnosed in early stages (stages I and II), in which abnormal uterine bleeding is the most frequent clinical sign. When the diagnosis is performed in stage IV, the most common sites of metastasis are the lungs, liver and bones. Central nervous system (CNS) metastasis is a rare condition. The aim of this study is to describe a case of uterine papillary serous adenocarcinoma of the endometrium that progressed to brain and bone metastases. Case Report We present the case of a 56-year-old woman with abnormal uterine bleeding and endometrial thickened echo (1.8 cm). A hysteroscopy with biopsy was performed, which identified poor differentiated serous adenocarcinoma of the endometrium. A total abdominal hysterectomy, with pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy, was performed. Analysis of the surgical specimen revealed a grade III uterine papillary serous adenocarcinoma. Adjuvant radio/chemotherapy (carboplatin and paclitaxel—six cycles) was indicated. Sixteen months after the surgery, the patient began to complain of headaches. Brain magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated an expansile mass in the right parietal lobe, suggesting a secondary hematogenous implant subsequently confirmed by biopsy. She underwent surgery for treatment of brain metastasis, followed by radiotherapy. She died 12 months after the brain metastasis diagnosis due to disease progression. Conclusion Uterine papillary serous adenocarcinoma of the endometrium has a low propensity to metastasize to the brain. To the best of our knowledge, this is the fifth documented case of uterine papillary serous adenocarcinoma of the endometrium with metastasis to the CNS.

Polimastia é uma condição rara presente em 1 a 5% da população. Clinicamente se caracteriza pela presença de duas ou mais mamas e pode ocorrer em homens ou mulheres. Essa condição pode se apresentar com ou sem a presença de mamilos extras, ou seja, politelia. A apresentação bilateral é incomum. Aqui apresentamos um caso de uma paciente que tinha mais de um par de mamas e mamilos extras que foram removidos cirurgicamente.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Mama; doenças mamárias; mamoplastia. RESUMO ABSTRACTPolymastia is a rare condition that is present in 1 to 5% of the population. Clinically, it is characterized by the presence of two or more breasts, which can occur in males or females. The condition may appear with or without the presence of extra nipples, which is termed polythelia. Bilateral presentation is uncommon. Here we report a case of a patient who had more than one pair of breasts and extra nipples which were surgically corrected.

Objective: To evaluate the benefit of radiotherapy planning, involving the use of surgical clips in conservative treatment of earlystage breast cancer. Methods: Retrospective cohort. Twelve (12) breast cancer female patients were retrospectively evaluated. These women had undergone breast-conserving treatment in which the tumor bed had been demarcated with titanium 200 surgical clips to guide breast boost radiotherapy. Volumes were calculated. Radiotherapy planning in the same patient with boost dose guided by metal clips was compared to planning guided by surgical scar or by imaging tests prior to surgical treatment. Results: A reduction of 36.7% in total volume of the irradiated breast (p=0.022), a reduction of 55.7% in boost volume (p=0.001), a reduction of 35.9% (p=0.001) in the breast volume receiving the prescribed boost dose and a reduction of 4.5% (p=0.014) in the maximum dose applied to the lung were shown. Conclusions: Clip placement in surgical bed following conservative treatment for breast cancer determined a reduction of 36.7% in irradiated breast volume and use of a lower dose of irradiation.
