    A Successful Resection of a Giant Adrenal Myelolipoma Measuring 35x33x13 cm and Weighing 4600 grams: A Case Report & Review of Literature
    (Deanship of Scientific Research/ Al-Quds University, 2023-03-08) Gharam Kiswani; Salsabeel Abu Khalaf; Mayar Idkedek; Riyad Salah Al-deen; Wadee Barbarawi
    Background: Adrenal myelolipomas are rare nonfunctional tumors that are mostly asymptomatic and often found incidentally. They can be associated with other endocrine disorders like pheochromocytoma, and congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). Adrenal myelolipoma usually measures from 2-4 cm in diameter, although large tumors measuring more than 10 cm can be found.

    Case Report and Review of Literature: Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma Misdiagnosed as Breast Carcinoma
    (Deanship of Scientific Research/ Al-Quds University, 2023-03-08) Ainaa A.Al-Zmari; Mayar Idkedek; Sami Bannoura; Yousef Abu-Asbeh
    Background: Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare but aggressive tumor that is linked to asbestos exposure. Pleural mesothelioma is frequently challenging to diagnose because it mimics many other cancers. Among them, the two most common causes of pleural metastasis are breast and primary lung malignancies.

    Giant Solitary Distal Sciatic Myxoid Neurofibroma: A Case Report & Review of Literature
    (Deanship of Scientific Research/ Al-Quds University, 2023-03-08) Fatima Az-Zahra' Thawabtah; Mayar Idkedek; Hafez Nimer
    Background: Neurofibroma is a rare benign tumor of the peripheral nervous system that can evolve anyplace through a nerve from the dorsal ganglion to its terminal branches. Myxoid neurofibroma is usually presented as a solitary non-tender nodule. However, in 50% of the cases, neurofibromas can present as a part of neurofibromatosis.

    Stapler-Less Uniportal Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery: Case Series and Review of the Literature
    (Deanship of Scientific Research/ Al-Quds University, 2023-03-08) Rawan Ayyad; Alaa Ayyad; Raghad Sweity; Mayar Idkedek; Firas Abu Akar
    Background: With the world's trend towards minimally invasive surgical techniques, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is now a well-established technique worldwide. Mechanical stapling is routinely employed for bronchial and pulmonary vasculature sealing and ligation during anatomical lung resection. The use of staplers is associated with high operating costs, bleeding, reopening and infections. This high stapler cost affected the spread and use of VATS in less developed countries where staplers can’t be afforded. In this study, we demonstrate the feasibility and outcomes from the first case series of uniportal VATS lobectomies and segmentectomies without the use of a stapler.
