    Core-Needle Biopsy of Thyroid Mass with Uncertain Malignant Potential.
    (Light House Polyclinic, 2024-12) Dolidze, D; Covantsev, S; Bumbu, A; Pichugina, N; Zakurdaev, E; Chizhikov, N; Bedina, A.
    Thyroid cancer is an emerging problem worldwide. Patients undergo surgery based on the results of cytology classified according to the Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology. However, patients with Bethesda III and IV often undergo surgery due to “suspicion” of malignancy. In reality up to 68% of cases do not require surgery as the mass is not malignant. Core-needle biopsy (CNB) is an emerging new diagnostic method that can be useful to diagnose thyroid malignancies. It is potentially useful in cases of Bethesda III and IV as the obtained tissue can undergo immunohistochemistry and genetic testing. We present a case of 58-year old female initially diagnosed with a thyroid mass suspicious for thyroid cancer who undergone CNB that demonstrated benign nature of the tumor and eventually undergone organ-sparing surgery.

    An Unusual and Rare Double Arch Variation of the Sciatic Nerve.
    (Light House Polyclinic, 2024-12) Peicova, M; Bumbu, A; Covantsev, S.
    The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the human body. It originates from L4-L5 and S1-S3 spinal segments of the spinal cord and travels posteriorly through the lower limb providing significant portion of innervation to this anatomical region. The surgical procedures at the infragluteal region and transgluteal approaches to the sciatic nerve involves different incisions, level of dissection and are based on good knowledge of regional anatomy. During anatomical dissection of a 75 years-old cadaver, the course of the branches of the sacral plexus, the features of their origin and innervation zones were studied. To our knowledge there is only one report of a similar variation when the sciatic nerve bifurcates and then merges until its division into the tibial and fibular nerves.
