چکیده
Cicatricial fibromatoses usually occur in the anterior abdominal wall or in the extremities, but rarely in the scalp or the soft tissues of the neck. We report a case of desmoid fibromatosis that developed in a 15-year-old boy 8 months after surgery for cerebellar medulloblastoma.

Cicatricial Fibromatosis Diagnosis after Suspected Local Recurrence at the Bronchial Stump Following Lobectomy for Lung Cancer
A mass excision surrounding the bronchial stump was performed to exclude malignancy in a 42-year-old man who had undergone a right lower lobectomy for lung cancer. The mass was identified as a cicatricial fibroma. Cicatricial fibromatosis, which is desmoid fibromatosis that arises in a surgical scar, is a well-known clinical condition. It consists of histologically benign neoplasms. Their occur...
متن کاملExtra-axial medulloblastoma in cerebello-pontine angle: A report of a rare case with literature review
Medulloblastoma is quite uncommon in the adult population and even rarer in extra-axial site in cerebello- pontine (CP) angle. In this report, a 23-year-old male patient with a two month history of deafness, nausea, vomiting and ataxia is presented.

متن کاملMetastatic medulloblastoma.
The incidence of metastatic medulloblastoma is probably greater than the thirteen documented patients. Case reports of metastatic medulloblastoma must be carefully analysed. We have added two cases which conform to Weiss' criteria for metastatic disease. The direction and factors influencing spread have been discussed.
متن کاملInhibition of breast cancer metastasis by co-transfection of miR-31/193b-mimics
Objective(s): Various studies have been conducted to reduce the metastatic behavior of cancerous cells. In this regard, ectopic expression of anti-metastatic microRNAs by miR-mimic and miR-restoration-based therapies could bring new insights to the field. In the present study, the consequences of co-transfecting breast cancer cell lines with miR-193b and miR-31 were investigated via invasion an...
متن کاملIGF1R as a Key Target in High Risk, Metastatic Medulloblastoma
Risk or presence of metastasis in medulloblastoma causes substantial treatment-related morbidity and overall mortality. Through the comparison of cytokines and growth factors in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of metastatic medulloblastoma patients with factors also in conditioned media of metastatic MYC amplified medulloblastoma or leptomeningeal cells, we were led to explore the bioactivity of ...
