“…13 This finding, coupled with those from this study, confirms that the mechanism of the Schistosoma migration is still not entirely understood and that the theories described in the literature do not respond to all questions related to the life cycle of this helminth.…”

Abstract. Ectopic schistosomiasis is uncommon and tends to occur when the parasite's eggs or adult forms are located far from their normal site. This report presents the first described case of ectopic Schistosoma mansoni eggs inside a subcutaneous lipoma far from the tissues of this worm's life cycle and with no connection to either portal veins or any other vascular system. These eggs were found inside giant cells surrounded by inflammatory cells. In conclusion, in humans, ectopic S. mansoni eggs can be found far from the tissues of the described life cycle of this worm, with no connection to portal veins or other blood vessels used for their migration.

“…Variations would be to implant the most distal end of the nerve into the marrow cavity or just within the region of the bone defect. A similar study has been done with interposing muscle into a long bone fracture defect:24 partial interposition of muscle did not effect bone healing whereas complete interposition of muscle did. This work suggests that for the study of the interaction of nerve and bone, a control group might evaluate the effect of putting muscle into the cortical bone defect.…”

“…[57][58][59] The factors that produce this failure in imaging have not yet been established. 60 In conclusion, the 20 years of follow-up of patients undergoing subtotal splenectomy have shown that this procedure should be considered for the treatment of trauma, portal hypertension, myeloid hepatosplenomegaly, Gaucher's disease splenomegalic retarded growth and sexual development due to splenomegaly, severe pain due to splenic ischemia, chronic leukemia, lymphomas and surgical disorders of the distal part of the pancreas. This procedure may be performed by laparotomy or laparoscopy and seems to be a safe to treat conditions involving the spleen.…”

PURPOSE: Over the past 21 years, we have performed more than 200 subtotal splenectomies, in which the upper splenic pole vascularized only by the gastrosplenic pole vascularized only by the gastrosplenic vessels is preserved, to treat different pathologic conditions. A meticulous follow-up of the postoperative results of this procedure is of fundamental importance. METHODS: All patients undergoing subtotal splenectomy were invited to be reviewed. A total of 86 patients who had undergone surgery 1 to 20 years ago were gathered; the surgical procedure was performed for one of the following conditions: portal hypertension due to schistosomiasis (n = 43), trauma (n = 31), Gaucher's disease (n = 4), myeloid hepatosplenomegaly due to myelofibrosis (n = 3), splenomegalic retarded growth and sexual development (n = 2), severe pain due to splenic ischemia (n = 2) and pancreatic cystadenoma (n = 1). Patients underwent a hematologic exam, an immunologic assessment, abdominal ultrasonography, computed tomography, scintigraphy and endoscopy. RESULTS: Increased white blood cell count and platelets were the only hematological abnormalities. No immunologic deficit was found. Esophageal varices were still present in patients who underwent surgery because of portal hyperension although without rebleeding. The ultrasound, tomography and scintigraphy exams confirmed the presence of functional splenic remnants without significant size alteration. CONCLUSIONS: Subtotal splenectomy seems to be a safe procedure that can be useful in treating conditions involving the spleen. The functions of the splenic remnants are preserved during long periods of time.

Abstract: Interposed muscle does not affect partial bone fracture healing but causes instability in a complete fracture.
