The rate of recurrence after excision of the pterygium and followed by instillation of mitomycin drops is lower than the other described treatments. However, complications described in literature, yet not observed in our own study, underline the necessity of a prolonged perspective study.
Testicular plasmacytoma is a rare disease with few described cases in literature since 1939 when the first case was described. Testicular plasmacytoma can occur as first presentation disease or in multiple myeloma relapse. We report a case of a monorchid asymptomatic 70-year-old patient without previous multiple myeloma diagnosis with incidental discovery of right testicular mass who presented with rapid worsening of myeloma-related symptoms immediately after orchifunicolectomy. Diagnosis was made in our urology department and patient was referred to hematologist for continued therapy. We will discuss the case and review the literature.
Nel 1572 la Vergine appare nelle acque di una fonte a Caltagirone; l'edificazione di un santuario, l'azione dei Gesuiti, la venerazione popolare ne hanno mantenuto intatto il culto per secoli e le brocche - quartare nel dialetto locale - un tempo usate per attingere acqua, sono diventate il simbolo della devozione a Maria. Obiettivo del contributo è mostrare come questi oggetti devozionali - in terracotta e maiolica policroma - possano essere valorizzati realizzando un itinerario turistico-culturale nel quale l'intimità spirituale della comunità e la valenza dei maestri ceramisti s'incontrano per raccontare memorie, religiosità e bellezza.
