[Current status of the emergency surgical management of closed trauma of the thorax].

The authors discuss problems related to emergency surgical management of non penetrating thoracic injuries. With reference to their own experience and current literature, they underline the etiologic, pathophysiologic, diagnostic and therapeutic features of the most frequent indications to the surgical treatment.

[Arteriomegaly: a clinical case report and review of the literature].

The authors report a case of arteriomegaly and underline the importance of a correct diagnosis. A review of the literature, in fact, confirms the incidence of the disease is higher than usually believed. Therefore, a complete diagnostic evaluation is necessary to recognize the disease and assure the adequate treatment.

[Malignant fibrous histiocytoma. Two case reports and review of the literature].

The authors report two cases of malignant fibrous histiocytoma localised in the gluteus maximus and re-evaluate some clinical and biological aspects of the neoplasia. Although its histiogenesis is still unsure, the tumour can be classified into various isotopes: the vorticoid-polymorphous variety (70%), and the myxoid, giant cell, angiomatous and inflammatory varieties. It is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in adults and onset is most frequently observed on the trunk and limbs. Biological behaviour shows a marked tendency to local recidivation, with metastatic diffusion occurring mainly late. The choice of therapy consists of more or less radical surgical removal with or without ratio- and immunotherapy. The results of surgery are influenced by the technique used, and the biological and clinical behaviour of the tumour; in view of the numerous case reports of anomalous behaviour, these factors are only indicative. Therapeutic efficacy is on the whole greater in cases of tumours with diameters of less than 5 cm and more superficial localisations compared to the deep muscular fascia.

[Risk factors and breast carcinoma: our experience in a department of senology].

In relation to their experience, the Authors affirm that currently an early diagnosis of breast cancer, in an absolute preclinical stage, is obtainable by adequate screening using specific methods especially among women who are at greater risk. Primary prevention is not achievable at present; however some considerations based on protocols which provide a surgical prophylactic therapy in high risk breast pathologies and in very selected patients, are possible. In the light of these considerations secondary prevention has a predominant role and may be more effective and curative if the treatment is carried out in the earliest stages of the disease.
