The clinicopathological challenges of symptomatic and incidental pulmonary hamartomas diagnosis
Rom J Morphol Embryol. 2022 Oct-Dec;63(4):607-613. doi: 10.47162/RJME.63.4.02.ABSTRACTPulmonary hamartomas (PHs) are the most common benign lung tumors. Usually, they are asymptomatic and incidentally discovered during assessment for other diseases or during the autopsy exam. In this context, we have performed a retrospective analysis of surgical resections in a 5-year series of patients diagnosed with PHs in the Clinic of Pulmonary Diseases, Iaşi, Romania, aiming to evaluate their clinicopathological features. A total of 27 patients with PH (40.74% males and 59.26% females) were evaluated. 33.33% of patients were asympto...

Radiographic methods for locating impacted maxillary canines
Rom J Morphol Embryol. 2022 Oct-Dec;63(4):599-606. doi: 10.47162/RJME.63.4.01.ABSTRACTMaxillary canine impaction is a fairly common phenomenon in dental practice. Most studies indicate its palatal position. For a successful orthodontic and∕or surgical therapy, it is necessary to correctly identify the impacted canine in the depth of the maxillary bone, using conventional and digital radiological investigations, each with their advantages and disadvantages. Dental practitioners must indicate the most "targeted" radiological investigation. This paper aims to review the various radiographic techniques available for determin...

Meropenem antibiotic therapy in acute secondary peritonitis, therapeutic effects superior to other therapies - experimental clinical and histopathological study in the laboratory animal

Benign cartilaginous tumors of the hand, a five-year retrospective study
Rom J Morphol Embryol. 2022 Oct-Dec;63(4):625-632. doi: 10.47162/RJME.63.4.04.ABSTRACTBenign and malignant cartilaginous bone tumors of the hand are rare findings, however representing a particular pathology due to the capacity to induce significant functional impairment. Even though a large proportion of tumors of the hand and wrist are benign, these may present destructive characteristics, deforming adjacent structures until compromising function. The most appropriate surgical approach for most benign tumors is intralesional lesion resection. Malignant tumors often require wide excision, up to segment amputation to obtai...

Surgical treatment for patent ductus arteriosus in adult patients: a single center experience
Rom J Morphol Embryol. 2022 Oct-Dec;63(4):633-638. doi: 10.47162/RJME.63.4.05.ABSTRACTIn contemporary practice, percutaneous closure of the patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) has become the procedure of choice. While the surgical ligation of ductus arteriosus ensures an immediate and definitive obliteration of the ductus, this therapeutic option is rarely used and reserved for situations when percutaneous solution is unsuitable. In this manuscript, we summarize the clinical and intraoperative findings of consecutive adult patients referred to our Institution in an interval of 10 years for surgical treatment of PDA. A total of ...

Preoperative C-reactive protein is related with renal cell tumor dimension? Preliminary results
CONCLUSIONS: The analysis of preoperative CRP and CRP dynamics could predict the tumor's aggressiveness and the treatment's effectiveness. A clear association between CRP levels and RCC pathogenesis is not yet defined, thus, further studies are necessary.PMID:36808199 | DOI:10.47162/RJME.63.4.06 (Source: Romanian Journal of Morphology and Embryology)

Incidental finding of solitary fibrous tumor of male breast: case report and review of literature
Rom J Morphol Embryol. 2022 Oct-Dec;63(4):653-657. doi: 10.47162/RJME.63.4.08.ABSTRACTSolitary fibrous tumor (SFT) of the breast is a rare mesenchymal tumor composed of spindle-shaped tumor cells with collagen and large blood vessels in the shape of a "staghorn". It is discovered anywhere in the human body, usually incidentally or through nonspecific symptoms. A combination of clinical, histological, and immunohistochemical features is required to establish a diagnosis. There are no proper guidelines for the treatment of SFTs because of their rarity; however, wide surgical excision remains the "gold standard". A multidisci...

Locally advanced choroidal melanoma with favorable molecular prognosis - case report
Rom J Morphol Embryol. 2022 Oct-Dec;63(4):645-652. doi: 10.47162/RJME.63.4.07.ABSTRACTUveal malignant melanoma is a rare malignant tumor comprising less than 5% of melanoma cases. It is nevertheless the intraocular tumor with the highest incidence in adults, that arises from the melanocytes in the uveal tract. The authors present the case of a patient with locally advanced choroidal melanoma: from presentation to diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. A 63-year-old female patient presented in the Ambulatory of the Emergency County Hospital, Craiova, Romania, on the February 1, 2021, accusing visual acuity drop and photophobi...
