The aim of this study was to assess the ability of a new magnetic resonance (MR) angiography technique that does not use contrast enhancement medium to depict the vascularity of musculoskeletal neoplasms, and evaluate its clinical utility. We performed 3D fresh blood imaging (FBI) MR angiography in 57 patients with bone or soft tissue tumors, and the detection of vessels in and around the tumor...

SUMMARY Hemangioendotheliomas are rare vascular tumors that can affect bone. They account for 0.5% to 1.0% of malignant primary bone tumors. Only four cases have been reported involving the temporal bone. A 5-year-old child with grade II hemangioendothelioma of the right temporal bone is presented, and the radiologic findings on different imaging studies are described. The patient was treated w...

primary bone tumors are the sixth most common neoplasm occurring in children and constitute approximately 6% of all childhood malignancies with a peak incidence in 15- to 19-year- old individuals. these lesions are the third most common tumors in adolescents and young adults (exceeded only by leukemia and lymphoma) common complaints are intermittent to constant mild to severe pain, constitution...

Chordoma is a malignant, slow growing and locally aggressive tumor. It arises from remnants of the notochord and accounts for 1–4% of all primary bone tumors. They usually arise from anywhere along the spine, from base of the skull to the sacrococcygeal area and usually do not metastasize. Chordomas are slow-growing tumors which are not responsive to conventional chemotherapy or radiation. They...

Solid tumors are abnormal tissues containing tumor and non-tumor cells, also known as tumor stromal cells. However, the malignant potential of tumor stromal cells remains largely unknown. The aim of the present study was to investigate the malignant potential of host bone marrow‑derived stroma cells in transplanted subcutaneous tumors of the glioma stem/progenitor cells (GSPCs) labeled using th...

background: primary malignant bone tumors are heterogeneous groups of neoplasms, which affect mainly children and adolescents. the most common types are osteosarcoma, ewing sarcoma and chondrosarcoma. elevation of scd30 and scd40l has been observed in lymphoma, leukemia and autoimmune disorders. objective: to evaluate serum concentrations of scd30 and scd40l in patients with primary malignant b...

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines chordoma as a malignant tumor of intermediate or low grade, developing at the expense embryonic remnants notochord. These tumors represent 8.4% all bone tumors. We report 2 cases collected in medical oncology department CHU Hassan II Fes. In whom clinical examination revealed mass and/or signs loco-regional compression. was located sacrum both patient...

Malignant bone tumors of the chest wall and sternum are more rare because most bone tumors occur in the long bones or joints.Osteosarcoma (OS) is a malignant bone tumor that occurs in the second or third decade of life. The men/women ratio is about 3:2 and half of the tumors occur near the knee. The most commonly occurring malignant tumor in sternum is chondrosarcoma and occurrence of osteosarc...

Introduction: Metastatic lesions of the oral cavity are extremely rare, accounting for approximately 1% of all malignant oral tumors. The most common primary sources of metastatic tumors in the oral region are, from the most to the least common, the breast, lung, kidney, bone, and colon. Renal cell carcinoma accounts for nearly 3% of all adult malignancies. It usually metastasizes to the lungs,...

Phyllodes tumors are rare fibroepithelial neoplasms of the breast, classified as benign, borderline, or malignant based on histological features. Osseous metaplasia, characterized by presence bone formation within tumor, is an uncommon finding. This case report highlights rarity osseous metaplasia in a benign phyllodes tumor. A 23-year-old female presented with gradually enlarging lump left bre...
