EPIGLOTTIC SARCOMATOID CARCINOMA WITH EXTENSIVE RHABDOMYOSARCOMATOUS AND OSTEOSARCOMATOUS FEATURES: A CASE REPORT.

A case of sarcomatoid carcinoma in a 75-year-old male with epiglottic location was presented. Histological examination of the tumor revealed rhabdomyosarcoma and osteosarcoma-like areas admixed with a minor component of squamous cell carcinoma. The rhabdomyosarcomatous component showed strong vimentin, desmin and myoglobin immunoreactivity. Histologically most of these tumors consisted of conventional squamous cell carcinoma and sarcomatoid component which frequently arranged in a storiform pattern. A combination of extensive osteosarcomatous and rhabdomyosarcomatous component has been reported in rare cases. A diagnosis of laryngeal sarcomatoid carcinoma requires considerable caution when the sarcomatous portion predominates and care must be taken not to overlook the carcinomatous areas

An Attempt to Keep Flaps Alive with Artificial Perfusion in Rabbits

Objective: In free flap surgery, the condition of recipient vessels may not be appropriate for anastomosis because of anatomical factors or acquired features such as tumoral invasion, surgical treatment, or radiotherapy. Furthermore, free flap surgery is time-consuming, expensive, demanding, and more prone to complications. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that maintaining free flap perfusion with a temporary artificial system without microanastomosis until revascularization is adequate for flap vitality
