In this article, we describe the diagnosis and surgical treatment of synovial sarcoma within the right thigh of a 25-year-old male. Our article aims to demonstrate successful treatment through wide local excision and rotation flap reconstruction, emphasizing the noteworthiness of comprehensive surgical planning and postoperative care. Postoperative care guaranteed satisfactory healing and appendage functionality, with a follow-up plan to monitor for recurrence. This case underscores the need for individualized treatment approaches and highlights the significance of multidisciplinary care for overseeing aggressive tumors like synovial sarcoma. The findings contribute to the ongoing refinement of surgical procedures and postoperative protocols to improve patient results.

UNASSIGNED: Leukemia is the most frequently occurring cancer in children, and lymphoblastic lymphoma (LBL) is a rare subtype. LBL are lymphoid neoplasms of B or T cell origin and are primarily treated with chemotherapy. Although cure rates among children are excellent, these patients must be monitored for relapse. Cutaneous lesions involving B-cell LBL (B-LBL) are extremely rare and here we present a patient with a worsening B-LBL scalp mass who required radical surgical excision.
UNASSIGNED: A 6-year-old female patient with a history of a nontender scalp mass discovered at approximately 2-3 years of age was evaluated for resection of the nodule due to its size and treatment history. The patient was originally diagnosed with follicular lymphoma by punch biopsy; excision was successfully performed on this 4 cm lesion and upon examination of the skin biopsy did we get a diagnosis of B-LBL. Reconstruction of the scalp was done through the rotation flap method. The patient\'s scalp healed well, and adjuvant chemotherapy was continued. There has been no reoccurrence.
UNASSIGNED: Here we report the rarity of B-LBL cases involving extranodal involvement in the scalp. The most common reconstruction of scalp lesions has been using free flap from the anterolateral thigh (ALT) and latissimus dorsi (LD). Our case used the rotation flap, which has its functional and cosmetic benefits. The importance of monitoring this patient is emphasized due to the dangerous consequences of B-LBL relapse. Ultimately, our successful treatment and care of this rare case can be used as guidance for similar patients in the future.

BACKGROUND: Soft tissue defects in the hand may result from trauma, oncological procedures, or severe infections. This study aimed to introduce an innovative method for repairing soft tissue defects on the palmar side of the distal segment of the affected finger or fingertip. We explored this surgical method and its curative effect on the volar rotation pedicled flap base on a perforator of the palmar digital artery (VRPF-PPDA) for repairing ventral or fingertip soft tissue defects of the distal segment of the affected finger without impairing its main blood vessels.
METHODS: Between June 2019 and January 2021, 13 patients with finger pulp or fingertip soft tissue defects were treated with VRPF-PPDA. Flap survival rate, complication rate, two-point discrimination (2PD), and patient satisfaction were used to evaluate the efficacy of this method. The function of the affected finger was evaluated using the upper limb function evaluation method issued by the Trial Standards for Evaluation of Partial Function of the Upper Extremity of the Chinese Society for Surgery of the Hand of the Chinese Medical Association (CMA) and the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Head (DASH) score, 6-12 months after the flap-based operation.
RESULTS: Thirteen patients (18 fingers) achieved complete flap survival. The finger pulp flap was full, and no complications occurred. 2PD checks of the flaps revealed that all of them were 4-10 mm in length. According to the Trial Standards for Evaluation of Partial Function of the Upper Extremity of the Chinese Society for Surgery of the Hand of the CMA, hand function was excellent in 12 patients (17 fingers) and good in one patient, with a mean DASH score of 26.05 ± 0.45. Eleven patients selected \"excellent\" on the subjective satisfaction survey, while the other two selected \"good.\"
CONCLUSIONS: VRPF-PPDA surgery is a simple, effective, minimally invasive, and reliable method for repairing soft tissue defects in the distal finger pulp or fingertips. Optimal esthetic reconstruction and anatomical and functional repair can be achieved in fingers repaired using the VRPF-PPDA surgical approach.

Ectopic scrotum is an infrequent congenital scrotal anomaly. Different surgical methods of correcting ectopic scrotum have been used, but none have produced optimal cosmetic results for all types. We describe a case of left ectopic suprainguinal scrotum in a 14-month-old boy who had an undescended left testicle and a left-sided scrotal skin tag. Single-stage rotational flap scrotoplasty and unilateral orchiopexy were performed; however, we modified the surgical technique of scrotal rotation by excising the intervening longitudinal skin. Eight months after surgery, the repositioned scrotum had a better appearance, and the affected testicle was similar in size to the contralateral one. In comparison with other surgical methods, pedicle flap rotation of the ectopic scrotal skin with excision of the intervening longitudinal skin may produce a better cosmetic outcome.

Dorsal foot defects are difficult to cover and often require major flap surgery by microsurgeons, even for defects of limited sizes. Intrinsic adipofascial flaps for small-sized complex defects are simple and do not require microsurgery; thus, a flap specialist is unnecessary. This study aimed to assess our institutional experience with this technique and define its role in dorsal foot reconstruction. Nine patients aged 48 to 86 years with soft tissue defects of the dorsal foot were treated with the intrinsic adipofascial flap by rotating the adjacent adipofascial tissues from May 2019 and January 2021 in our institution. Demographic, clinical, and followup data were evaluated. Primary outcomes include flap viability, flap bulkiness, ability to wear shoes, and donor site morbidity. The mean followup period was 24.5 months (range, 10-30 months) and the mean defect size was 6.4 cm2 (range, 3.0-9.0 cm2). Eight flaps survived providing an adequate contour and durable coverage with a thin flap. Among 8 cases of healed flaps, 6 required secondary skin grafts while the other 2 healed spontaneously without additional operation. One patient (defect size: 3.0 cm × 3.0 cm) with underlying diabetes mellitus and peripheral arterial occlusive disease encountered flap total necrosis. Revisional flap surgery was performed to cover the flap total necrosis. In conclusion, the intrinsic adipofascial flap is a relatively simple and suitable method for complex dorsal foot defect reconstruction because it provides minimal donor site morbidity. However, relatively large defect size and comorbidities, such as underlying diabetes mellitus and vascular occlusive disease could accompany a risk of flap necrosis.

Defects resulting from surgical procedure may be challenging to reconstruct depending on the size and location. In case of large defects, primary closure is often not possible and thus requires skin flap or graft. In such cases, skin flap is advantageous as it produces a similar color and texture with the surrounding tissue. Skin flap techniques such as advancement flap, rotation flap dan transposition flap are useful in closing small defects. In moderate to large-sized defects, especially in areas with high tension, a combination of more than one type of flap might be necessary. This report describes two cases of large defects on the temple and cheek following basal cell carcinoma excisional surgery which were successfully closed using a combination of rotation and advancement flaps. Both patients showed excellent functional and cosmetic outcome.

Background  Surgical treatment of sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus disease (SPSD) consists of radical excision of the entire tract and treatment of the resultant raw area. Here, the authors have reviewed the results of the rotation flap for closure of the SPSD. Aim  This study aims to evaluate the outcomes following SPSD excision and rotation flap closure. Materials and Methods  All patients were treated for SPSD with excision and closure using a rotation flap from January 2010 to September 2018. Cases having a follow-up of at least 6 months post surgery were evaluated. Result  A total of 52 patients were included in the study; 42 cases were of primary disease while 10 were of recurrent disease. The patients\' follow-up records on the 3rd day, 10th day, 1 month, and 6 months were evaluated. None of the patients showed any signs of recurrence on follow-ups. One patient developed a hematoma on the third day post surgery which was treated conservatively. One patient developed a seroma in the perianal region on the fifth postoperative day which required aspiration. Both these patients healed well subsequently. Conclusion  Rotation flap is a (simple and reliable) treatment option for closure of postexcision SPSD defect. It not only takes the tension away from suture line, but also pushes the gluteal fat from the sides into the midline, obliterating the deep crevice of the natal cleft which is believed to be one of the important factors in the causation of SPSD, thus minimizing recurrence.

The reconstruction of defects of the lateral malleolus involving the exposed fibular bone or tendon is challenging. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical application of the peroneal artery perforator flap with or without split-thickness skin grafting for soft tissue reconstruction of the bony defect of the lateral malleolus of the ankle joints. Reconstruction using a peroneal artery perforator flap with or without split-thickness skin grafting was performed for 15 patients (10 men, 5 women) between January 2007 and December 2018. The mean age was 53.7 years, and the mean size of the flaps was 40 cm2. The flaps were elevated in the form of a perforator flap, and split-thickness skin grafting was performed over the flaps and adjoining raw areas. The flaps survived in all cases; however, partial necrosis was observed in 3 cases. In cases of small-sized defects of the lateral malleolus of the ankle joints where a flap is required for the exposed bone or tendon, reconstruction using the peroneal artery perforator flap is advantageous, since the morbidity rate of the donor site is low and soft tissue is reconstructed.
