Ulnar nerve schwanomma: Case report
Schwannoma is a slow-growing benign tumor of the peripheral nerve that frequently occurs in the region of the head, neck and spine. We present a 50-year-old male patient diagnosed and operated for schwannoma of the ulnar nerve in the distal part of the left forearm. In the case of a palpable limb mass, one of the possible diagnoses is schwannoma, and since operative technique is somewhat specific with tumor enucleation and internal neurolysis, it is crucial to preoperatively keep in mind schwannoma as a possible diagnosis.

Endoscopic management of giant simple hepatic cyst

Case Reports
Paradoxical fat embolism syndrome in patient without patent foramen ovale
Fat embolism syndrome represents a life-threatening condition in which blood vessels become clogged by fat droplets coming from fractured parts of the bones seldomly seen in patients with orthopedic trauma. Absence of specific diagnostic criteria and varying degree of presentation symptoms makes it hard to be diagnosed. We present a 20-years-old male injured in road traffic accident as a pedestrian, diagnosed with polytrauma and lethal outcome on the second day of admission. Autopsy and pathohistological findings confirmed death due to damage of important brain centers, as well as signs of massive fat embolism with fat particles found in lungs blood vessels as well as in systemic circulation, suggesting paradoxical embolism throughout exceedingly uncommon pulmonary right to left shunt capillaries, since completely closed heart foramen ovale was also found.

Intracranial and chest bullets retained for 35 years - “luck’s always to blame”
Head gunshot injures are usually fatal. Elderly patients may have survived penetrating head injuries, since old bullets with lower velocity produce much less damage to brain tissue. We report a case of elderly male patient with mild head injury due to accidentally fall. Patient died a few hours after admission to Emergency Department. Autopsy finding showed one strayed projectile in the posterior horn of left lateral ventricle and one in the soft tissue of right VIII intercostal space. Later we obtained information that patient suffered multiple gunshot wounds about 35 years earlier. However, the cause of death was deterioration of long-term and severe hypertensive and atherosclerotic heart disease.

Case Reports
A case of abandoned carcinoma of the penis
Penile tumors are rare neoplasms of the male urogenital tract and represent approximately 1% of all urogenital cancers in men. Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common histological type of these tumors, and is seen in about 95% of the cases. We report a case of a 66 years old male patient presented with large, neglected cancer of the penis, which grew about 6 months, but patient was not motivated for treatment until tumor began to bleed. Patient was operated and tumor was completely removed. The early postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged from hospital Since penile cancers are rare entity, there are counted controversy about the best method of treatment. We believe that the individual approach to each patient relying on existing good clinical practice guidelines is currently the best therapeutic approach.
