The triangle of doom is defined be vas deferens medially, spermatic vessels laterally and external iliac vessels inferiorly. This triangle contains external iliac artery and vessels, the deep circumflex iliac vein, the genital branch of genitofemoral nerve and hidden by fascia the femoral nerve. Staple should not be applied in this triangle otherwise; chances of mortality are there if these great vessels are injured.

75. arterial supply of scm muscle a/e posterior auricular
a.Sternocleidomastoid muscle is present across the side
of the neck and forms a prominent landmark when contracted.
It originates in two heads, medial sternal head which is rounded
and tendinous; and lateral clavicular head. The sternal head
originates from the upper part of the anterior surface of the
manubrium sterni and ascends posterolaterally. The clavicular
head is variable in width and originates from the superior
surface of the medial third of the clavicle and ascends almost
vertically. The two heads of origin are separated by a triangular
interval, which corresponds to a surface depression, the
lesser supraclavicular fossa. As they ascend the clavicular head
spirals behind the sternal head and blends with its deep surface
below the middle of the neck, forming a thick, rounded belly.
The muscle is inserted by a strong tendon to the lateral surface
of the mastoid process from its apex to its superior border,
and by a thin aponeurosis into the lateral half of the superior
nuchal line. The clavicular fibres are mainly directed to the
mastoid process; the sternal fibres extend to the occipital bone.
The sternocleidomastoid muscle is supplied by the
spinal part of the accessory nerve. It also receives
proprioceptive innervations by cervical spinal nerves from the
cervical plexus.
The sternocleidomastoid muscle receives its blood
supply from branches of the occipital and posterior auricular
arteries, which supply the upper part of the muscle. The
muscular branches coming from the superior thyroid artery
and suprascapular artery supply the middle and lower part
of sternocleidomastoid muscle.
The sternocleidomastoid muscle acting alone,
laterally flexes the neck and rotates the face to the opposite
side. The two muscles acting together flex the head and
neck forcibly.
Spasm of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, usually
of unknown origin but sometimes congenital, is one cause
of a flexion deformity of the neck known wryneck or
torticollis; other muscles that rotate and flex the neck also
may contribute to torticollis (Williams et al., 1995;
Standring et al., 2005).
CASE REPORT
During the gross dissection of an elderly male
cadaver a rare case of additional slip of origin was found
on both sides, in the clavicular head of sternocleidomastoid
muscle (Fig. 1). Because of this additional slip of origin
the clavicular head was extending up to the middle of the

clavicle on both sides, there by reducing the gap between
the trapezius and sternocleidomastoid muscles. The two
clavicular heads of origin of sternocleidomastoid muscle
were separated by a wider triangular interval (compared to
the interval between the sternal head and normal clavicular
head), which corresponds to one more surface depression,
the additional lesser supraclavicular fossa. The additional
slip is also supplied by a branch from the spinal part of the
accessory nerve. However, on both sides the origin of sternal
head and the insertion of sternocleidomastoid muscle were
found to be normal.
DISCUSSION
The sternocleidomastoid muscle varies much in the
extent of its origin from the clavicle. In some cases the
clavicular head may be as narrow as the sternal; in others it
may be as much as 7.5 cm in breadth. When the clavicular
origin is broad, it is occasionally subdivided into several slips,
separated by narrow intervals. More rarely, the sternocleidomastoid
and trapezius muscles are fused with each
other. Some authors regard this fusion between the

sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles as normal
(Bergman et al., 1988). This may be due to the
developmental reason, since both the muscles are derived
from the same source, the post-sixth branchial arch. The
sternocleidomastoid muscle frequently separates into other
parts, which are arranges in two parts: a superficial
sternomastoid, sterno-occipital and cleido-occipital part; and
a deep layer consisting of a deep sternomastoid and
cleidomastoid part. The names indicate the attachment of
various parts. Knowing the 5 parts of the sternocleidomastoid
muscle is important for harvesting the muscle flap. A
supernumerary cleido-occipital, more or less separate from
the sternomastoid has a reported frequency of 33% (Mustafa,
2006, Bergman et al.).
Occasionally, the lower portion of the muscle is
traversed by a tendinous intersection, which may indicate
the formation of the muscle from different myotomes
(Bergman et al.). The supraclavicularis muscle arises from
the manubrium behind the sternocleidomastoideus muscle
and passes behind the sternocleidomastoideus muscle to the
upper surface fot he clavicle.
In our present findings, of the additional slip in the
clavicular origin of sternocleidomastoid muscle may be due
to abnormal splitting in the mesoderm of post-sixth branchial
arch. However, the relevance of our findings whether it is
associated with the condition of wry neck and other
congenital deformities of the neck needs to be evaluated by
further studies.
In our study, even though additional slip of origin
was found on both sides, in the clavicular head of
sternocleidomastoid muscle, we did not find any noticeable
clinical symptoms. It is essential for the surgeons to be aware
of possible variations during routine head and neck surgeries.
Knowledge of sternocleidomastoid muscle consists
of additional parts and the muscle fibers in each part are
lying in the same direction from origin to insertion in the
same fascial package may be important for harvesting the
muscle flap reconstruction during parotid surgery is an
effective method of covering the surgical defect and possibly
preventing Frey's syndrome. Thus, it would be possible to
choose more appropriate muscle parts.

ABSTRACT
Aims and background. Gastrointestinal stromal tumors are the most common mesenchymal
tumors of the digestive tract, although their incidence is low. These tumors
make up a unique entity based on their molecular pathogenesis, immunohistochemical
staining and responsiveness to targeted therapy. Gastrointestinal stromal tumors
vary inmalignant potential ranging fromsmall incidentally detected tumorswith an excellent
outcome to aggressive sarcomas. Their optimal diagnostic approach and treatment
remain amatter of debate.We present our experience in this rapidlymoving field.
Methods. We present our experience on 15 patients presented during a 5-year period
(June 2000-September 2005)with gastrointestinal stromal tumors located in the stomach.
Results. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and CT scan revealed the tumors in all
cases. All patients underwent curative surgery. A definitive diagnosis was established
after surgery.
Conclusions. Although an inverse correlation between level of risk and survival of patients
with gastrointestinal stromal tumors has been observed, 6 of our patients with
an intermediate risk of recurrence had a favorable outcome.
Introduction
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are soft tissue sarcomas of mesenchymal
origin that arise in the gastrointestinal tract. GISTs are a unique entity separate from
leiomyomas and leiomyosarcomas. Most GISTs arise in the stomach (60-70%) or
small intestine (20-30%) and less frequently in the esophagus,mesentery, omentum,
colon, or rectum (10%)1,2. They are rare before the age of 40 years, with a median age
at presentation of 50-60 years and a slight male predominance3,4.
The diagnosis of GIST relies on standard histological examination5 (tumor cellmorphology)
and immunohistochemical analysis using CD1176. Over 85% of GIST express
the KIT protein3 (stemcell factor receptor CD117). All tumors have the potential
to becomemalignant, and the prediction of aggressiveness is best estimated by the simultaneous
evaluation of several parameters7.
As GIST is a recently defined entity, the optimal diagnostic approach, imaging and
treatment have remained an area of active scientific debate over the last 5 years.We
present our experience in this rapidly moving field.
Patients and methods
The study group consisted of 15 patients who underwent surgery for gastric GIST at
the Departments of Surgery of Ippokration General Hospital and 1st IKA Hospital of
Tumori, 94: 459-463, 2008
Athens, fromJune 2000 to September 2005. There were 9
males and 6 females, with a mean age of 59.5 years. Preoperative
assessment was based mainly on endoscopy
and computerized tomography (CT). All patients underwent
surgery. The diagnosis of GIST was based on tumor
cell morphology and a positive staining for KIT.We classified
the tumors using the algorithm of the consensus
for assessing the risk of malignancy of GIST reached at
the NIH workstage based on tumor size and mitotic rate
(per 50 high power field, HPF)6. The algorithm identifies
four risk groups: a very low-risk group (<2 cmand <5mitoses/
50 HPF), a low-risk group (2-5 cm and <5 mitoses/
50HPF), an intermediate-risk group (<5 cmand 6-
10 mitoses/50 HPF or 5-10 cm and <5 mitoses/50 HPF)
and a high-risk group (>5 cm and >5 mitoses/50 HPF or
>10 cm regardless of mitotic activity). The study was approved
by the Ethics Committees of both hospitals.
Results
Patients presented with vague symptoms, including
abdominal pain, anorexia, weight loss and gastrointestinal
hemorrhage (Table 1). All patients underwent upper
gastrointestinal endoscopy. In 7 cases, a submucosal
mass was seen at endoscopy. Endoscopic ultrasound
was not available at that time. In 8 patients with normal
endoscopy, a CT scan revealed a typically extraluminal
(exophytic) mass in all of them (Figure 1). CT staging
showed in all 15 patients localized lesions amenable to
radical surgery. There were no metastases to the liver or
the peritoneal cavity. All patients underwent surgery. At
the time of surgery, there was no tumor spread beyond
the stomach, and a complete resection of the lesion was
feasible in all cases. In 4 cases, the tumor was located in
the proximal half and in 11 cases in the distal half of the
stomach. Five patients underwent wedge resection,
subtotal gastrectomy was performed in 8 patients, and
total gastrectomy in 2 patients.
There was no perioperativemortality. A definitive diagnosis
of GIST was made after surgery by examination of
the resected specimen. The diagnosis of GIST was based
on tumor cell morphology and immunohistochemistry
characteristics, mainly a positive staining for KIT (Table
2). Microscopically, 9 patients had spindle cell type GIST
and 6 epithelioid type GIST (Figure 2). Surgical margins
and lymph node status were negative in all cases.

All patients were followed from the time of surgery.
For high- and intermediate-risk patients, we recommended
a CT scan every 3 months for 3 years, then
every 6months for the next 2 years and yearly thereafter.
For very low- and low-risk tumors, a CT scan every 6
months for 5 years seemed a reasonable strategy. In 3
patients with larger gastric tumors (>10 cm), multiple
intrahepatic metastases were found within 2 years of
the resection. They were treated with imatinib with an
initial response to therapy. All 3 patients eventually died
during the follow-up, having achieved a mean survival
of 9.5 months (range, 7.5-12) after the initiation of imatinib
treatment. The remaining 12 patients are all alive
with no signs of recurrence after a median follow-up of
3.4 years (range, 6 months-5 years) after surgery. Treatment
with imatinib was not recommended in these 12
patients (Table 3). In the analysis of clinical follow-up,
we found a favorable outcome for the intermediate-risk
group patients (4 males and 2 females).
Discussion
GISTs are rare tumors, representing approximately
0.1-3% of all gastrointestinal neoplasms and 5% of all
sarcomas8. GISTs account for approximately 2% of all
tumors of the stomach and 14% of all tumors of the
small intestine9. The tumors were described in 1983 and
are characterized by a specific histological and immunohistochemical
pattern. GISTs have been shown to
exhibit typical activating mutations of the KIT or
PDGFRA proto-oncogenes, which are the likely causal
molecular events of GIST.
Gastric GISTs have a slightmale predominance (55%),
with amedian age at presentation of 63 years. Only 2.7%
of tumors occurs before the age of 21 years and 9.1% before
the age of 40 years10.With prolonged follow-up, any
GIST has the potential to behave in amalignant fashion.
In an attempt to design a tumor-specific risk, a proposal
was formulated including tumor size and mitotic activity
per 50 HPF6. Generally, their malignant potential
is often difficult to predict and is best assessed by the simultaneous
evaluation of several parameters such as
size, mitotic count, location, invasion of adjacent organs,
mucosal invasion, nuclear pleomorphism, necro-

sis and proliferation rate6,7. The only absolute criterion
formalignancy is tumor spread beyond the organ of origin
at the time of diagnosis. The significance of the primary
site (location) is still disputed; GISTs from the
small intestinemay have a worse prognosis than gastric
GISTs11. In the small intestine, there is an overall 39%tumor-
related mortality, twice that for gastric GIST12.
Two-thirds of GISTs arise fromthe stomach. The commonest
sites are: pars media, 40%; antrum, 25%; and
pylorus, 20%. They develop in the submucosa (60%),
subserosa (30%) or are intramural (10%). They may
grow in an endophytic or exophytic way parallel to the
gastric lumen13. Large tumors may have a “dumbbell”
appearance, with masses protruding both into the lumen
and out of the serosa of the stomach. Gastric GIST
vary in size from 0.5 to 44 cm (median, 6.0)10 and commonly
present with gastrointestinal bleeding, pain and
fatigue. Approximately 12% are detected incidentally.
GIST arising in the stomachmay be discovered during
upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Endoscopic ultrasound
may aid in the diagnosis. Contrast-enhanced CT
scan is currently the imagingmodality of choice inmost
cases14-16. Magnetic resonance imaging may facilitate
localization and delineation of large exophytic GIST,
mainly at the anorectum16.
Surgery is the mainstay of therapy for patients with
GIST whose primary lesion is deemed resectable. For localized
tumors, wedge resection of the stomach provides
adequate local therapy17,18. More extensive gastric
lesions may require subtotal or even total gastrectomy.
Adjacent organs adherent to the mass should be resected
en bloc with the tumor17. GISTs generally protrude
from the tissue of origin and displace surrounding
structures rather than infiltrate18.
The aim of surgery is the complete resection of the
mass without disruption of the commonly present
pseudocapsule. Avoiding rupture during surgery is of
paramount importance since these tumors are very
fragile, and the risk of spillage is very high17,19. Tumor
rupture before or during resection is a predictor of a
poor outcome.
GIST rarely metastasize to lymph nodes and thus
lymph node dissection is not routinely performed.
Metastases usually present in two ways: liver and intraabdominal
dissemination. GIST have a high tendency to
seed, and the intra-abdominal lesions probably result
from tumor cell seeding into the abdominal cavity,
whereas livermetastases probably result fromhematogenous
spread of GIST cells into the liver20. Extra-abdominalmetastases
are very rare.
Achieving negative microscopic surgical margins is
usually feasible. Nevertheless, it seems that the pathologic
status of the margins of resection is not associated
with recurrence or survival, and the success of surgery
depends mainly on whether the tumor sheds surface
cells into the peritoneal cavity rather than on the surgical
margins21,22.
GASTROINTESTINAL STROMAL TUMORS 461
Studies have shown that in patients with gastric GIST,
tumor size is an independent prognostic factor for survival21.
Patients with tumors larger than 10 cm in diameter
had a disease-specific 5-year survival rate of only
20% after resection. However, another study showed in
a series of 1765 cases that in gastric GIST outcome was
strongly dependent on tumor size and mitotic activity.
Only 2-3% of tumors <10 cm in diameter and <5 mitoses/
50 HPFmetastasize. Tumors >10 cm in diameter
and with mitotic activity <5 mitoses/50 HPF have a relatively
low metastatic rate (11%)10. Our 3 patients with
tumors >10 cm in diameter had a mitotic count >5 per
50 HPF, and this possibly explains their poor outcome.
Long-term follow-up reveals that most patients except
for very low-risk patients eventually develop recurrence
even after complete surgical resection of GIST.
Most recurrences (local or metastatic) occur within 2
years of initial resection21,22. Unexpectedly, 6 of our patients
at intermediate risk for recurrence had a favorable
outcome and had no sign of recurrence 3-5 years
after surgery. Recently, in a population-based study examining
survival rates with GIST, an inverse correlation
between the level of risk and survival was found9. In this
particular series, patients with an intermediate risk of
recurrence had a favorable outcome, and this was related
to the fact that in most of the cases the tumors were
detected incidentally at surgery. In the study, it was advocated
that any GIST >6 cm in greatest dimension regardless
of mitotic count and proliferative index should
be regarded as potentially malignant and with a poor
outcome. However, data from other recent studies support
that the most important prognostic factor for gastric
GIST is mitotic count, not tumor size23. These data
combined may support the good clinical outcome of
our patients at intermediate risk, since the average size
of the tumor in this group was <6 cm(5.9 cm), and in addition
all had amitotic count of <5/50 HPF.We would also
like to emphasize the meticulous attention that we
paid not to rupture the pseudocapsule of the tumor
whenever feasible. This may also give evidence to the
fact that our intermediate-risk group had a good outcome.
It is most likely that most recurrences (local or
metastatic) that occur within 2 years of initial radical resection
are cases of the high-risk group.
Patients with unresectable metastatic and advanced
GISTs have a poor prognosis, with a median survival of
about 12months (before the imatinib era)3,11,21, and unfortunately
these tumors respond poorly to radiotherapy
and chemotherapy. In such cases, immediate treatment
with imatinib is recommended. The remarkable
clinical response of GIST to treatment with imatinib is a
triumph of molecular pharmacology22. The mechanism
of action of imatinib in GIST involves inhibition of KIT
or PDGFRa kinase activity. Several ongoing studies of
imatinibmesylate in GIST are addressing the important
issues of efficacy of neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapy,
duration of therapy, and safety in the perioperative period.
The use of imatinib mesylate for treating patients
with GIST will be tailored by the final results of these
clinical trials. For now,most experts recommend initiating
imatinib therapy for patients with advanced GIST at
a dose of 400-600 mg/day24,25.
Impressive results are obtained with FDG-PET in the
evaluation of treatment efficacy to themolecular targeted
therapy with imatinib in GIST. A complete metabolic
response is achieved within one week of the initiation of
treatment in patients who respond and precedes CTscan
response by several weeks to months24. PET also
proved to be useful for the detection of secondary resistance
to imatinibmesylate. Routine use of PET in oncology
is still hampered by the high cost and the limited
availability of the technique. At present, there is no indication
for the routine use of PET in the management of
patients with GIST. CT andmagnetic resonance imaging
remain the imagingmodalities of choice in the initial diagnostic
workup of GIST and for the evaluation of treatment
efficacy26.

The purpose of this study was to analyse if ECT operates a modulation of serum BDNF levels in a sample of drug resistant depressed patients. The results obtained show significantly higher serum levels of BDNF following ECT. More specifically, while no change occurred in the whole sample between T0 (baseline) and T1 (after ECT) (p=0.543) a significant increase has been identified at T2, one month after the end of ECT (p=0.002). However, the BDNF augmentation was evident even between T0 and T1 in a subgroup of patients who has low baseline BDNF levels. Although future researches are needed, the results herein presented show for the first time that ECT is associated with changes in serum BDNF and further support the possible involvement of BDNF in antidepressant therapies

Kenneth L McClain
Baylor College of Medicine, Texas Children’s Cancer Center/Hematology Service, 6621 Fannin St. CC 1400, Houston, TX, USA. [email address in profile] txccc.org
Langerhans cell histiocytosis results from the abnormal accumulation of a class of dendritic cells normally found in the skin, which proliferate in many organ systems along with lymphocytes, macrophages and eosinophils. Standard therapy for Langerhans cell histiocytosis includes vinblastine and prednisone with or without methotrexate and mercaptopurine, depending on the extent of disease. Effective therapies for patients unresponsive to the above include cytosine arabinoside and cladribine. Thalidomide has proven useful for patients with Langerhans cell histiocytosis of the skin and/or bone. Emerging therapies include the use of monoclonal antibodies against the CD1a or CD52 epitopes found on Langerhans cells.
