- Time to Recurrence as a Prognostic Factor in Parathyroid Carcinoma(2023) MAGNABOSCO, Felipe Ferraz; BRESCIA, Marilia D'Elboux Guimaraes; NASCIMENTO JUNIOR, Climerio Pereira; MASSONI NETO, Ledo Mazzei; ARAP, Sergio Samir; CASTRO JUNIOR, Gilberto de; LEDESMA, Felipe Lourenco; ALVES, Venancio Avancini Ferreira; KOWALSKI, Luiz Paulo; MARTIN, Regina Matsunaga; MONTENEGRO, Fabio Luiz de MenezesBackground Parathyroid carcinoma (PC) is a rare and challenging disease without clearly understood prognostic factors. Adequate management can improve outcomes. Characteristics of patients treated for PC over time and factors affecting prognosis were analyzed. Methods Retrospective cohort study including surgically treated patients for PC between 2000 and 2021. If malignancy was suspected, free-margin resection was performed. Demographic, clinical, laboratory, surgical, pathological, and follow-up characteristics were assessed. Results Seventeen patients were included. Mean tumor size was 32.5 mm, with 64.7% staged as pT1/pT2. None had lymph node involvement at admission, and 2 had distant metastases. Parathyroidectomy with ipsilateral thyroidectomy was performed in 82.2%. Mean postoperative calcium levels were different between patients who developed recurrence vs those who did not (P = .03). Six patients (40%) had no recurrence during follow-up, 2 (13.3%) only regional, 3 (20%) only distant, and 4 (26.6%) both regional and distant. At 5 and 10 years, 79% and 56% of patients were alive, respectively. Median disease-free survival was 70 months. Neither Tumor, Nodule, Metastasis system nor largest tumor dimension (P = .29 and P = .74, respectively) were predictive of death. En bloc resection was not superior to other surgical modalities (P = .97). Time between initial treatment and development of recurrence negatively impacted overall survival rate at 36 months (P = .01). Conclusion Patients with PC can survive for decades and have indolent disease course. Free margins seem to be the most important factor in initial surgery. Recurrence was common (60%), but patients with disease recurrence within 36 months of initial surgery had a lower survival rate.
- Functional Reconstruction of Temporomandibular Joint after Resection of Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis with Extension to Infratemporal Fossa and Skull Base: A Case Report(2016) VELLUTINI, Eduardo de Arnaldo Silva; ALONSO, Nivaldo; ARAP, Sergio Samir; GODOY, Luis Felipe Silva; SOUZA, Ricardo Antenor de Souza e; MATTEDI, Romulo Loss; OLIVEIRA, Matheus Fernandes deIntroduction Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a benign but aggressive lesion arising from sinovia. The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is hardly ever involved. Methods We describe a case of PVNS arising in the left TMJ involving infratemporal fossa soft tissue and the skull base; we also present the reconstruction. Results A 37-year-old woman had progressive mandibular swelling for 6 months. Computed tomography of the skull revealed an osteolytic lesion in the left TMJ, involving the upper mandible, condyle, and glenoid fossa and extending to the infratemporal fossa and fossa media through a defect in temporal bone. Surgical management included a left pterional craniotomy to reach the temporal skull base and resect the intracranial tumor and a facial approach with partial leftmandibulectomy and resection of left condyle, glenoid fossa, and tumor removal in infratemporal fossa. Mandible function was restored with prosthetic reconstruction of the condyle. She progressively started to eat solid foods after 3 months, becoming increasingly functional and asymptomatic. At 30 months' follow-up, she had no sign of tumoral recurrence and showed asymptomatic and normal TMJ function. Conclusion PVNS should be considered in the differential diagnosis of bone neoplasms affecting young patients. In such cases, radical excision is mandatory and TMJ prosthesis for local reconstruction may be used to preserve functionality.
