Abstract
BACKGROUND pregnancy-associated breast cancer (PABC) affects one in 3000 pregnancies, often presenting with aggressive features. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated a cohort of 282 young BC patients (≤45 years old) treated between 1995 and 2019, dividing them into three groups: nulliparous women, women with PABC (diagnosed within 2 years since last pregnancy) and women with BC diagnosed > 2 years since last pregnancy. This last group was further stratified according to the time between pregnancy and BC. The analysis encompassed histological factors (tumor size, histotype, grading, nodal involvement, multifocality, lympho-vascular invasion, hormone receptor expression, Ki-67 index, and HER2 expression), type of surgery and recurrence. RESULTS Age at diagnosis was younger in nulliparous than in parous women (p < 0.001). No significant differences were noticed regarding histological characteristics and recurrences. At univariate analysis, nodal involvement (OR = 2.4; p < 0.0001), high tumor grade (OR = 2.6; p = 0.01), and lympho-vascular invasion (OR = 2.3; p < 0.05), but not pregnancy (OR = 0.8; p = 0.30), influenced DFS negatively. Multivariate analysis confirmed nodal involvement as the only negative independent prognostic factor for a worse DFS (OR = 2.4; p = 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS in our experience, pregnancy is not an independent adverse prognostic factor for BC DFS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this systematic review was to evaluate the effect of different types of neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimens, in terms of optimal pathological response and oncological outcomes, in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer. METHODS A systematic search of the literature was performed. MEDLINE through PubMed and Embase databases were searched from inception to June 2023. The study was registered in PROSPERO (ID number CRD42023389806). All women with a pathological diagnosis of locally advanced cervical cancer (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) 2009 classification stages IB2-IVA), any age or histology, who underwent intravenous neoadjuvant chemotherapy before radical surgery, and articles only in English language, were included. We conducted a meta-analysis for optimal pathological response after surgery and survival outcomes. The risk of bias was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale and the Risk of Bias 2 (RoB) tools. The review methods and results were reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. RESULTS 25 studies with a total number of 1984 patients fulfilled the eligibility criteria of our review and were included for data extraction and efficacy analysis. When compared with a two-drug regimen, the three-drug combination including cisplatin, paclitaxel, and ifosfamide or anthracyclines showed superior efficacy in terms of optimal pathological response with an odds ratio of 0.38 (95% CI 0.24 to 0.61, p<0.0001), with no difference in disease-free survival (hazard ratio (HR) 0.72, 95% CI 0.50 to 1.03, I2=0%, p=0.07) and higher overall survival (HR 0.63, 95% CI 0.41 to 0.97, I2=0%, p=0.03). CONCLUSIONS The three-drug combination of cisplatin, paclitaxel, and ifosfamide or anthracyclines showed a higher rate of complete or optimal partial response, with the triple regimens having an advantage over the platinum-based schedules in terms of overall survival. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by radical surgery should not be considered a standard of care in locally advanced cervical cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Primary fallopian tube carcinoma represents a rare entity, accounting for about 0.75%-1.2% of all gynecological malignancies. The rationale of our study is to describe the prognosis of primary fallopian tube carcinoma. METHODS We retrospectively identified patients with FIGO stage I-IV, all histology types and grading primary fallopian tube carcinoma treated in three major oncological centers between January 2000 and March 2020. Exclusion criteria were bulky tubo-ovarian carcinomas, isolated serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma or neoadjuvant chemotherapy. RESULTS A total of 61 patients were included. The vast majority of primary fallopian tube carcinomas were serous (96.7%) and poorly differentiated (96.7%) and arose from the fimbriated end of the tube (88.5%). Larger tumor size correlated with higher probability of correct preoperative differential diagnosis of primary fallopian tube carcinoma (p=0.003). Up to 82.4% of patients with small tumors (≤15 mm) presented with high FIGO stage (≥IIA). The most common site of metastasis was pelvic peritoneum (18.8%) and among 59% of patients who underwent lymphadenectomy smaller tumors had higher rate of nodal metastasis (42.9%≤10 mm vs 27.3%>50 mm). After 46.0 months of mean follow-up there were 27 recurrences (48.2%). The most common site of relapse was diffuse peritoneal spread (18.5%). The 5-year disease-free survival was 45.2% and 5-year overall survival was 75.5%. Of note, 42.9% of patients with stage IVB survived >36 months. CONCLUSION Primary fallopian tube carcinoma is a biologically distinct tumor from primary epithelial ovarian carcinoma and it is mostly located in the fimbriated end of the tube. In addition, it is characterized by a high rate of retroperitoneal dissemination even at apparently an early stage and its size does not correlate with FIGO stage at presentation.

Abstract
Objective Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has correlated with the disruption of screening activities and diagnostic assessments. Endometrial cancer (EC) is one of the most common gynecological malignancies and it is often detected at an early stage, because it frequently produces symptoms. Here, we aim to investigate the impact of COVID-19 outbreak on patterns of presentation and treatment of EC patients. Methods This is a retrospective study involving 54 centers in Italy. We evaluated patterns of presentation and treatment of EC patients before (period 1: March 1, 2019 to February 29, 2020) and during (period 2: April 1, 2020 to March 31, 2021) the COVID-19 outbreak. Results Medical records of 5,164 EC patients have been retrieved: 2,718 and 2,446 women treated in period 1 and period 2, respectively. Surgery was the mainstay of treatment in both periods (p=0.356). Nodal assessment was omitted in 689 (27.3%) and 484 (21.2%) patients treated in period 1 and 2, respectively (p<0.001). While, the prevalence of patients undergoing sentinel node mapping (with or without backup lymphadenectomy) has increased during the COVID-19 pandemic (46.7% in period 1 vs. 52.8% in period 2; p<0.001). Overall, 1,280 (50.4%) and 1,021 (44.7%) patients had no adjuvant therapy in period 1 and 2, respectively (p<0.001). Adjuvant therapy use has increased during COVID-19 pandemic (p<0.001). Conclusion Our data suggest that the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the characteristics and patterns of care of EC patients. These findings highlight the need to implement healthcare services during the pandemic. The prevalence of patients with early-stage endometrial cancer (EC) has been lower during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic than before its onset. Further evidence is needed to assess the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on survival outcomes of EC patients.

Abstract
Primary ovarian carcinoids are very rare tumors that belong to the germ cell family of ovarian malignancies. They account for less than 1% of all carcinoid tumors and for less than 0.1% of all ovarian neoplasms. Recurrences are even rarer, with only few cases reported in the literature. Strumal carcinoid has recently been recognized as an extremely rare distinct entity. We report on a patient with bilateral mature cystic teratoma with millimetric foci of ovarian strumal carcinoid who developed lymph node para aortic metastasis after 30 years from primary diagnosis. Our case is thus far the second report of a metastatic strumal carcinoid and the first one in which strumal carcinoid occurred bilaterally and was also metastatic.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze clinical and laboratory findings in order to find variables predictive of severity of Biliary Peritonitis (BP). Patients and methods. Physical findings, course of illness, imaging and laboratory data were evaluated in 22 patients with BP, and statistically analysed to assess their prognostic significance. RESULTS Serious illness and worse outcome were associated with: age > 60 years (P=0.034), long time between onset of symptoms and treatment (P=0.025), fever > 38°C (P=0.009), WBC count > 17.000 cell/mm³ (P=0.043), diffuse abdominal pain (P=0.034), and infected bile (P=0.048). CONCLUSIONS Most patients become severely ill due to supervening infection, while early bile drainage avoids serious complications. In addition, abdominal pain, fever and WBC count are also predictive of severity of BP.

Abstract
To evaluate the results of surgical treatment of varicocele on infertile men, especially regarding sperm count, 245 patients, surgically treated from 1993 to 2003, were evaluated. Patients underwent to ligature and section of the pampiniform plexus, through the subinguinal approach and local anaesthesia. At the follow-up (3-6-12 months) an improvement of sperm count was relieved in 79.5% of patients and the incidence of complications and relapses was of 3.7% and 1.2%, respectively. The Authors stress the efficacy of surgical treatment of varicocele in male infertility and hold the subinguinal approach as an effective treatment, minimally invasive and low cost.

Abstract
This study reports 36 cases of gynaecomastia surgically treated. The median age was 25-years old (range 14-65 years). In 27 patients (75%) gynaecomastia was bilateral, in the others only one breast was interested. According to Simon's classification; 12 patients with stage 1, 18 stage 2a, 3 stage 2b and 3 stage 3 were observed. A specific cause was discovered in 12 cases: 2 Klinefelter syndrome and 10 adipomastia. Other 24 cases had an idiopathic origin. Subcutaneous mastectomy, through inferior periareolar approach was performed to all patients while submammary approach was reserved in selected patients (stage 3).

Abstract
We present a case of perforated giant diverticulum of the sigmoid colon. This condition is extremely rare and only a few cases have so far been reported in the literature. Our case involved a 55-year old woman. Diagnosis was easy with barium enema and CT scan examination. Laparotomy revealed a giant diverticulum of the sigmoid colon compressing adjacent structures with signs of inflammation. An en bloc resection of the sigmoid colon, ovary and fallopian tube was performed with primary colon-rectal anastomosis. The post-operative course was uneventful.

Abstract
The term "strawberry gallbladder" refers to an anatomo-pathological aspect which is included in the wider chapter of gallbladder cholesterolosis. Introducing their experience, the Authors summarize the hypotheses through the years proposed about the etiopathogenesis of this condition the clinical symptoms that it can produce and the diagnostic strategies used to identify it. Moreover the Authors underline that the "strawberry gallbladder" continues to be reported with a significant frequency. They also confirm the opportunity of surgical treatment of symptomatic patients as a valid alternative to medical therapy which is not always effective, it is long lasting, often complex and not completely side effects lacking.

Abstract
The study is based on the observation of 21 cases of phyllodes tumour of the breast. The mean age of patients was 43 years (range 18-60 years). In all the cases the tumour was monolateral, more common in the right breast (66.7% vs. 33.3%) and in external quadrants. Clinical features and diagnostic investigations were able to make a preoperative diagnosis in 6 out of 21 cases, while frozen sections and histological examination allowed to diagnose in the others. FNAB was not performed in any case. In this way 18 benign and 3 "borderline" tumours were discovered. No malignant lesion was observed. Local recurrence rate was 14.6%. Local recurrence was not associated with age of patients, tumor size and histological type. In neither case axillary nodal involvement was found. The study and the review of the literature suggest that wide local excision is the treatment of choice and adjuvant therapies have no place in the routine management of phyllodes tumours.

Abstract
Benign schwannoma is a tumor arising from Schwann cells (forming the neural sheath of peripheral nerves). The retroperitoneal location is unusual (0.5-5% of cases). Most common locations are cranial nerves (especially the 8th pair) and, in peripheral nerve system the neck, mediastinum and extremities. To this date the known cases of benign retroperitoneal schwannoma are about 60, of which less than 20 in the pelvis. The low frequency of this tumor and the lack of specific instrumental signs and objective symptoms (since it develops in a deep and broad region as retroperitoneum) make presurgical diagnosis very difficult. It can be confirmed only during surgery and definitive histological examination. The information provided by ultrasonography, CT and MR help to limit diagnostic hypothesis, but they don't show any pathognomonic images. The resection of this tumor is the appropriate treatment, even though it is really a complex one. Prognosis is quite good since post-surgical recurrences are unusual. If they appear is probably because excision wasn't radical. Complete resection is the best treatment for retroperitoneal pelvic schwannoma and today it can be performed also by laparoscopy. Partial resection can be used when the mass is strongly connected to essential organs in order to prevent iatrogenic harms (neural deficit, vessel lesions); this may occur in 10% of cases. This paper describes a benign schwannoma with pelvic retroperitoneal location, incidentally discovered during a routine gynecological check up. The purpose of this study is to review current therapeutic and diagnostic techniques in retroperitoneal pelvic schwannoma (including a review of current literature) and to identify th problems that can be encountered in the differential diagnosis of this unusual disease from other neoplasms occurring in the same place.

Abstract
Renal cell carcinoma, in a high percentage of patients, metastasizes early, sometimes mimicking other lesions. We present a case of an asymptomatic papillary renal cell carcinoma that presented neck metastases as the initial manifestation. The laterocervical and supraclavicular masses were considered consistent with nodal metastases from a thyroid nodule. A hemithyroidectomy was performed before the renal tumor was diagnosed. Then the patient underwent a left-side radical nefrectomy. We discuss the unpredictability of the clinical course of renal cell carcinoma.

Abstract
Nonparasitic cysts of the spleen are uncommon and often result from blunt abdominal trauma. Nonsurgical management of blunt splenic injuries increases the number of observations of the post-traumatic cysts. Complications (infection, rupture and hemorrhage) are lifethreatening, difficult to diagnose and require urgent surgical management. Until recently, splenectomy has been the primary choice of treatment of these cysts. Small (< 4 cm) asymptomatic post-traumatic pseudocysts stand a reasonable chance of involution with time (3-36 months) and so may be initially observed. Splenic preservation by partial splenectomy, enucleation or by marsupialization is actually recommended in children when technically feasible. Splenectomy is required for voluminous, central, multifocal cysts, in the presence of complications and in the adults with low immunologic risk. The Authors report 5 cases of large cysts successfully treated by splenectomy with one 12-year-old girl treated in emergency for infection by Salmonella.

Abstract
The trend of the National mortality rate for gastric cancer in the general population and in the old people between 1955 and 1990 was studied. A decreased incidence of mortality in the general population whereas an increased mortality rate in elderly was found. Between 1990 and 1994, 17 patients over 70 years of age were operated on for gastric cancer. The influence of the ASA classification on postoperative complications was then evaluated registering a significant statistical difference between patients included in ASA III group and or > and major complications and mortality (P = 0.044). The surgical strategy in the management of elderly patients with gastric cancer is also discussed.

Abstract
This paper reports the results of a retrospective study undertaken to assess the reliability of regional ventilation-perfusion pulmonary scanning in predicting the remaining respiratory function (pFEV1), and the early and long-term outcome of 33 patients with chronic airways disease, submitted to pulmonary resection at the 1st Department of Surgery. All patients had been diagnosed as resectable with the traditional tools and had a traditional pFEV1 (tpFEV1) greater than 800 ml. All pFEV1 were re-calculated (npFEV1) with our new formula which also includes as lost for function all lung areas not to be resected with V/Q mismatching. Normal perfusion and ventilation distribution was found in 24.2% of patients in the lesion area and in 33.3% in the remaining pulmonary areas. An impairment of perfusion was observed in the lesion area in 72.7% of patients, in the remaining areas in 48.4%. An impairment of ventilation was observed in the same regions in 66.6% and 48.5% of patients, respectively. Abnormality in ventilation/perfusion matching occurred in the lesion area in 15.2% of cases, in the ipsilateral lung areas in 18.2%, in the contralateral lung in 48.4% of cases. In predicting postoperative FEV1, and early and long-term mortality among our resectable patients, the tpFEV1 showed an accuracy of 91%, an index of resectability of 93.7%, of unresectability of 0%. Our npFEV1 reached an accuracy of 94.4%, an index of resectability of 100% and an index of unresectability of 66.7%.

Abstract
A retrospective study was carried on 66 patients surgically treated for perforated diverticular colonic disease: 22 had acute phlegmon or pericolic abscess and underwent primary resection and anastomosis. Of the remaining 44 patients, who had multiple pericolic and/or pelvic abscesses, or generalized peritonitis, in 30 cases the Hartmann procedure was used, 6 underwent Mikulicz operation, while drainage with proximal colostomy was performed in 5 cases, and simple suture and drainage in the last 3 cases. Operative mortality was 18.2%. Mortality rate was higher in patients treated by colostomy and drainage. The Hartmann procedure and resection-anastomosis patients had a mortality rate of 23.3% and 4.4% respectively. No mortality was registered among patients treated with suture and drainage.

Abstract
The Authors report their experience in the management of 201 patients with multinodular toxic goiter (MTG): 122 (60.7%) underwent subtotal thyroidectomy (STT), while 79 (39.3%) underwent total thyroidectomy (TT). Through a retrospective study the patients were stratified into two groups according to the type of operation (TT or STT). Overall, neither operative mortality nor recurrent nerve damage were encountered. Permanent hypocalcemia was observed in 7 patients (5.7%) who underwent STT and in 6 patients (7.5%) who underwent TT (p=N.S.), while transitory hypocalcemia was observed in 12 cases (9.8%) in group I and 11 cases (13.9%) in group II (p=N.S.). All patients were followed every 4 months for the first year and every 6 months thereafter. Average and median follow-up period were, respectively, 72 and 74 months. The Authors conclude that total thyroidectomy is the surgical treatment of choice in multinodular toxic goiter (MTG). A thorough anatomical-surgical evaluation is essential in order to prevent the complications characteristic of this type of surgery (inferior laryngeal nerve injury and hypoparathyroidism).

Abstract
Significant signs of uremic osteodystrophy were found at Rx examination of the pelvis in 29 out of 72 uremic patients (40%) undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. It is therefore thought that Rx of the pelvis, although it is more significant for some signs (brown tumors, alterations of the trabecular structure, enlargement of Ward's triangle) than for others, such as subperiosteal resorption, should not be neglected in these patients.

Abstract
The authors referring to a case with a false positive diagnosis which recently came to their observation, describe the clinical, mammographic and echographic patterns to be considered in order to reach a differential diagnosis between benign and malignant lesions of the breast, which occur on surgical scars following quadrantectomy and subsequent radiotherapy. In particular, after an attentive research of the data reported in literature and after careful evaluation based on their personal experience, they conclude that the traditional clinical evaluation occupies a very prominent role in the follow-up of patients who underwent breast cancer surgery. They also believe that the diagnostic techniques, undoubtedly useful and necessary, must always be subjected to a critical evaluation in order to avoid, to the maximum, the possibility of diagnostic errors.

Abstract
The authors report the diagnostic protocol used in the Breast Disease Unit of the 1st Surgical Department - University of Rome "La Sapienza" - (1987-1990) as well as the techniques for identifying and localizing nonpalpable lesions of the breast. Mammographic screening in women over 40 years, ultrasonography in women under 40 years, X-ray and ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration and stereotactic guide wire placement with excisional biopsy, resulted to be diagnostic in 79 cases of carcinoma of the breast (2.0%) of which 13 (16.4%) were nonpalpable lesions. Moreover, the importance of nonpalpable lesions is discussed, pointing out how "very early" diagnosis of carcinoma of the breast plays a fundamental role with respect to both prognosis and treatment. The very early diagnosis of a "minimal" carcinoma ensures a significant increase in survival as well as more conservative surgical procedures that offer a better quality of life being less psychologically traumatic.

Abstract
A series of 100 consecutive patients aged 70 years and older having biliary tract lithiasis observed over a 19-year period (1970-1989) at the 1st Surgical Department of the University of Rome was analyzed in an effort to define morbidity and mortality. Eighty-eight patients underwent surgical treatment. Three patients died postoperatively (3.4%); 12 patients had local and 13 general complications. The highest incidence of complications occurred in patients with associated diseases and bacteriobilia. A long-lasting symptomatology involved a more frequent exploration of the common bile duct. Morbidity and mortality were not significantly related to the type of surgical procedure performed. Elective biliary tract surgery is a safe procedure even in aged patients.

Abstract
Underlining the importance of Profundus Femoral Artery and its capacity to make up for lower limb's haemodynamics during obliterative arteriopathy, the Authors conceive a funnel-shaped intravascular prosthesis, Goretex constructed (PTFE), to introduce, in case of obstruction, in the artery lumen with a suitable instrument. The research is performed through ten oldster dogs whose average weight is twenty-four kilograms. Isolated the deep Femoral Artery and carried out an arteriotomy of about two centimetres on the Common Femoral Artery, we bring the prothesis in Profundis Femoral Artery and we fix it to the wall of the Common Femoral Artery with 8/O microsurgical dots. After thirty days, the arteriographic test shows the patency of the endoprosthesis with normal peripheral flow in nine animals out of ten. By virtue of this preliminary experiment, the Authors point out the semplicity of this intervention, also feasible in local anaesthesia, the good tolerability of the prosthesis and its perfect integration with the surrounding arterious wall, without shifts or dissecting laminar flows between the external prosthesis wall and the vessel lumen of the animal.

Abstract
In this study, the Authors have provoked experimentally acute pancreatitis in the rat by different methods, in order to find out morphological modifications of the pancreas in the initial stage of the disease. In case of biliary and pancreatic duct obstruction with pure pancreatic reflux, both oedema and inflammatory infiltrations were evident, whereas, in the presence of biliary reflux too, more serious histological features were detected. In conclusion, the first sign of alteration in acute pancreatitis could be represented by the association of intraductal hypertension and pure pancreatic reflux.

Abstract
On the basis of a survey of the literature, an etiopathogenetic classification of biliary peritonitis is presented, with particular reference to forms without perforation. The variability of clinical picture and the difficulties of correct pre-operative diagnosis explain the mortality rate of 30-50%.
