Two Case Reports of Pollicization of a Previously Syndactylized Index Finger for Congenitally Absent Thumb

Annals of Plastic Surgery (2003)

David T. Netscher Firas Eladoumikdachi

Two patients with absent thumbs and complicated syndactyly were successfully treated by pollicization of the index finger. Prior surgical release of the index finger syndactyly and then pollicization of that digit carries with it an increased risk of neurovascular compromise, adverse placement of surgical scars, and a stiff or unstable thumb. With caution, very satisfying reconstructive results can nonetheless be attained.

Anatomy of the Intrinsic Hand Muscles Revisited: Part I. Interossei

Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery (2002)

Firas Eladoumikdachi Paula Lee Valkov John A. Thomas David T. Netscher

In this article, the anatomic variations in interosseous muscle insertions are described based on a review of the literature and 14 fresh cadaver hand dissections. The findings are correlated and compared with those of a number of other investigators, and the clinical implications are discussed (i.e., in the correction of ulnar deviation in arthritis patients and in the treatment of congenital anomalies of the hand). It is concluded that descriptions of insertion sites of the intrinsic muscles have been oversimplified by previous researchers, and a number of variations are identified through the cadaver dissections. The differing and confusing nomenclature used by other investigators is discussed and simplified. The results of this study indicate that not only are there important distal insertions onto bone and the extensor apparatus, but there is also an additional insertion onto the volar plate (“assemblage nucleus”), as Zancolli reported. It was found that the palmar interossei, generally thought to insert only onto the extensor apparatus, could also insert onto bone and onto the volar plate. Classic teaching is that all dorsal interossei (except the third) have two heads and that all palmar interossei have only one head. In this study, however, 38 percent of the palmar interossei and 75 percent of the dorsal interossei had more than one head. The complexity of the interossei is apparent when as many as three different muscle heads are present, each with a different distal destination. (Plast. Reconstr. Surg. 110: 1211, 2002.)

Oncoplastic breast surgery in the setting of breast-conserving therapy: A systematic review

Advances in Radiation Oncology (2016)

Jennifer Yoon William Ross Green Sinae Kim Thomas Kearney Bruce G. Haffty

Breast-conserving therapy (BCT), or breast-conserving surgery with adjuvant radiation therapy, has become a standard treatment alternative to mastectomy for women with early-stage breast cancer after many long-term studies have reported comparable rates of overall survival and local control. Oncoplastic breast surgery in the setting of BCT consists of various techniques that allow for an excision with a wider margin and a simultaneous enhancement of cosmetic sequelae, making it an ideal breast cancer surgery. Because of the parenchymal rearrangement that is routinely involved in oncoplastic techniques, however, the targeted tissue can be relocated, thus posing a challenge to localize the tumor bed for radiation planning. The goals of this systematic review are to address the challenges, outcomes, and cosmesis of oncoplastic breast surgery in the setting of BCT.

Long-Term Clinical and Cosmetic Outcomes of Once-Daily Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation in Early Breast Cancer

Advances in Radiation Oncology (2023)

Ritesh Kumar Kelly Krupa Zeinab Abou Yehia Shicha Kumar Lindsay Potdevin

Accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) is one of the standard treatment options in early-stage node negative breast cancer patients in selected cases(1). Various treatment techniques and radiation doses have been used in APBI(2). Most of the studies have shown an equivalent treatment result with APBI in carefully selected patients, however the optimal schedule to obtain the best balance between patient preference, local control, toxicity and cosmesis still represents a challenge.

Durable Response to PD1 Inhibitor Pembrolizumab in a Metastatic, Metaplastic Breast Cancer

Case Reports in Oncology (2021)

Elan Gorshein Kant Matsuda Gregory Riedlinger Levi Sokol Lorna Rodrı́guez-Rodrı́guez

Metaplastic breast cancer (MBC) is a rare and aggressive subtype of breast cancer. Tumor characteristics typically feature estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and HER2-negative, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), with a poorer prognosis relative to pure invasive ductal or lobular disease. Resistance to chemotherapy often leads to local recurrence and distant metastasis. Genomic profiling has identified multiple molecular abnormalities that may translate to targetable therapies in MBC. These tumors are known to display higher PD-L1 expressivity than other subtypes of breast cancer, and disease control with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy has been documented. We identify a patient with metastatic, metaplastic TNBC, with mesenchymal components and osseous differentiation, who completed 2 years of pembrolizumab treatment and has remained without evidence of disease after 32 months of observation, while maintaining good quality of life. Future efforts should focus on immunotherapy response with respect to the various subtypes of MBC, and treatment should continue to be incorporated in clinical trials to maximize disease response.
