Solitary fibrous tumors（SFT）is rare Mesenchymal tissue tumor，originally identified and usually found in the pleura，but the incidence of SFT in the spermatic cord is particularly rare.This article reported a case of a 37-year-old patient who was admitted for a right inguinal mass over the past 2 years. Preoperative MR examination showed a right spermatic cord-derived mass. Under spinal anesthesia，excision of the right spermatic cord mass was performed. Postoperative pathological diagnosis was spermatic cord solitary fibrous tumor. Twelve months of follow-up revealed no metastasis and recurrence on imaging examination. Solitary fibrous tumors of the spermatic cord are rare and require a combination of pathological examination and immunohistochemistry to confirm the diagnosis. Once the diagnosis is confirmed，tumor resection should be performed as soon as possible，and benign lesions are also at risk of recurrence，and long-term follow-up is required after surgery.

This article reports a case of a 55-year-old patient who was admitted to the hospital due to an 8-year history of a right epididymal mass and intermittent right scrotal heaviness for 1 month. Preoperative ultrasound examination revealed a right epididymal cyst and right testicular hydrocele. Under general anesthesia, a right epididymal mass resection and right testicular tunica vaginalis inversion procedure were performed. Postoperative pathological diagnosis was epididymal papillary cystadenoma. The patient has been followed up for 1 year with no recurrence and malignancy. Epididymal papillary cystadenoma, a rare benign tumor, lacks specific clinical and imaging features, often leading to misdiagnosis as seminal vesicle cysts or malignant tumors. If associated with von Hippel-Lindau syndrome, bilateral occurrence should be considered to prevent missed diagnosis and treatment delay.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and surgical technique of percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic lumbar intervertebral disc discectomy (TES) for senile lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion.Methods Twenty-three patients with senile lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion were admitted to percutaneous TES from April 2009 to April 2010. Surgical segments included L4-5 in 11 cases, L5-S1 in 9cases,L3-4 in 3 cases. There were 10 contained and 13 non-contained,6 disc herniation in or out of the foramen and 1 recurred. Nine simple cases were treated by TES and 14 cases with narrow foramens treated by intervertebral foraminal plasty at the same time. Visual analogue scale (VAS),Oswestry disability index (ODI) and the modified MacNab criteria were employed to evaluate the clinical outcome. Results There was no dural matter tear and intraoperative neurovascular injury. Two patients suffered transient hyperalgia in lower limbs which were healed after 1 week by conservative treatments. All patients were followed up with mean period of 6-12(9.53 ± 3.02) months. The VAS of sciatica decreased from(8.3 ± 1.2) scores preoperatively to (3.7 ±2.1) scores at three days postoperatively and ( 1.5 ± 1.2) scores at the last follow-up visit (P＜0.01). The ODI decreased from 53.3 ± 24.0 preoperatively to 26.2 ± 15.0 at three days postoperatively and 20.4 ± 6.0 at the last follow-up visit(P＜ 0.01). There were 18 excellent,3 good and 2 fair outcomes according to modified MacNab criteria with the excellent to good rate of 91.3% (21/23). Conclusion TES is applicable for senile lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion, which has the advantages of minimal invasion, less haemorrhage,early function recovery and it is a safe and effective method.

Objective To explore clinical the characteristics and countermeasures of osteoporotic vertebral fractures treated with percutaneous vertebroplasty. Methods From March 2005 to March 2008,64 patients (totally 86 vertebra) with osteoporotic vertebral fractures undergoing percutaneous vertebroplasty were retrospectively analyzed. The level of fracture was between T5 to L5. The symptomatic fractured vertebrae were determined with combination of regional pain, X-rays and MR images. The postoperative effect were evaluated by the visual analog score (VAS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI). Results All the patients were followed up 12 - 23 ( 13.40 ± 1.03 ) months. The VAS decreased from (8.3 ± 1.2) scores to bdfore surgery (2.3 ± 1.4) scores after surgery and to (2.5 ± 1.1 ) scores at the last follow-up time(P ＜ 0.01 ). The ODI decreased from (62.0 ± 2.3 ) scores before surgery to (23.1 ± 2.5 ) scores after surgery and to ( 26.3 ±2.4) scores at the last follow-up time (P ＜0.01). The back pain of all patients were relieved to different degrees postoperatively. No severe complications including pulmonary embolism occurred. Conclusions The key point is to find the symptomatic fractured vertebrae not only based on preoperative X-rays but also the MR images, especially fat-compressing MR images. Only when the fractured vertebrae demonstrate low intensity on T1WI MR image and high intensity on T2WI or fat-compressing MR image can be considered new fractures. The injection should reach the new fractured part and if necessary the bilateral approaches should be considered and the injection can be separated for several steps in multi-segments fracture. PMMA should be injected after the bone cements are solid enough so as not to develop complications such as pulmonary embolism.
