A rare case of multiple myeloma in a patient with an unresponsive to chemo-and radiotherapy frontoparietal gygantic plasmacytoma

University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Targu Mures, Romania, The 6th International Medical Congress for Students and Young Doctors, May 12-14, 2016Introduction: Multiple myeloma is a cancer of plasma cells, a type of white blood cell normally responsible for producing antibodies. In multiple myeloma, collections of abnormal plasma cells accumulate in the bone marrow, where they interfere with the production of normal blood cells. Most cases of multiple myeloma also feature the production of a paraprotein - an abnormal antibody which can cause bone lesions and hypercalcemia. Plasmacytoma refers to a tumour consisting of abnormal plasma cells that grows within the soft tissue or bony skeleton in the context of multiple myeloma disease. Objective: We will present the case of a 56 years old female patient admitted in the Medical Clinic I - Department of Hematology of Targu Mures, suffering from a rare hematological cancer - multiple myeloma of which onset was the appearance of a solitary extramedullary gigantic frontoparietal plasmacytoma which also did not responded at all to chemo-and radiotherapy treatment still increasing its size. Clinical case: We monitored the patient over a period of 13 months and we will display the evolution chronologically.Conclusions: Usually radiotherapy provides excellent local and regional control of plasmacytomas, but in our case it had no positive effect. The patient is having an evolution which leads to an continue worsening without obtaining remission, therefore the long-term prognosis is reserved while the medium one is favorable

University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Targu Mures, Romania, The 6th International Medical Congress for Students and Young Doctors, May 12-14, 2016Introduction: Acromioclavicular disjunctions occur most commonly in active or athletic young adults and it is one of the most common shoulder problem, accounting 9% of all shoulder injuries. The aim of our paper is to present several surgical techniques. Material and methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of the cases of acromioclvicular disjunction from the orthopedic department. It was found that from a total of 42 cases, 15 had surgical indication and the rest were either treated conservatively or refused treatment. Discussion: The two most used surgical techniques were Weaver - Dunn and Dewar – Barrington. Weaver - Dunn is a technique whereby the coracoid tip is fixed to the collarbone with a screw. Dewar - Barrington is a technique that consists in transferring the end coracoacromial external ligament of clavicle. Conclusion: Treatment of acromioclavicular disjunctions has been a subject of debate. In general, surgical management should be offered acutely only to those who require high-level upper extremity function and late to those with significant shoulder pain and/or dysfunction refractory to nonoperative treatment. The orthopedic surgeon has the freedom to choose from a variety of tehniques
