Benign Smooth Muscle Tumors (Leiomyomas) of Deep Somatic Soft Tissue

Epidemiologic Study of Benign Soft Tissue Tumors of Oral Cavity in an Iranian Population

Introduction: Few studies on benign soft tissue tumors of oral cavity have been conducted in an Iranian population. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of the benign soft tissue tumors of the oral cavity in three central pathology centers of Rasht, Iran. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, all benign soft tissue tumors of the oral cavity, were retrieved fro...

Genetic heterogeneity in leiomyomas of deep soft tissue

Leiomyoma of deep soft tissue is a rare type of benign smooth muscle tumor that mostly occurs in the retroperitoneum or abdominal cavity of women, and about which very little genetic information exists. In the present study, eight leiomyomas of deep soft tissue were genetically analyzed. G-banding showed that three tumors carried rearrangements of the long arm of chromosome 12, three others had...

Metastatic Soft Tissue Tumors

Between 1998 and 2007, we treated 157 patients with malignant soft tissue tumors. Patients with obvious lymph node metastasis, metastasis from bone or soft tissue sarcoma, and with obvious advanced stage disease which had multiple metastases were excluded from the present analysis. Finally, sixteen of the 157 patients were diagnosed to have soft tissue metastasis from carcinomas or hematopoieti...
