INTRODUCTION Mazabraud's syndrome, a rare benign disease with indolent course, is best described as an association between soft tissue myxoma and fibrous dysplasia of the bones. In this report, we describe the first case of this syndrome from Saudi Arabia. CASE PRESENTATION A 24-year-old male in overall good health status, presented with progressive left knee swelling over 6 years with no oth...

A 37-year-old woman was admitted on July 20, 2009, with complaints of gradually increasing vulval swelling for the past 3 years. The swelling was not painful, but was growing slowly. There was no history of anorexia, itching, loss of weight, or any other swelling over the body. She had normal menstrual cycles earlier, but recently she had 4 months of amenorrhea.

statement of the problem: most of the soft tissue calcifications within the head and neck region might not be accompanied by clinical symptoms but may indicate some pathological conditions. purpose: the aim of this research was to determine the prevalence of soft tissue calcifications in cone beam computed tomography (cbct) images of mandibular region. materials and method: in this cross sectio...

Lipomas are common tumors that arise from mesenchymal fibrofatty tissue. They are the single most common soft tissue tumor1 and can involve any part of the body. The most common clinical presentation is a gradually progressive, soft and nontender mass. However, their presentation in the hand is infrequent. Some lipomas can grow considerably and their presence in the hand is associated with a va...

Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) is difficult to diagnose because it requires histopathology and tissue culture, as well as due to its rapid progression. Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis is the primary cause of pulmonary mycosis in China, which can occur in patients with neutrophil deficiency, leukaemia or lymphoma, malignant tumours, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with long-ter...

Soft tissue ganglions are commonly encountered cystic lesions around the wrist presumed to arise from myxomatous degeneration of periarticular connective tissue. Lesions with similar pathology in subchondral location close to joints, and often simulating a geode, is the less common entity called intraosseous ganglion. Rarer still is a lesion produced by mucoid degeneration and cyst formation of...

When maxillofacial surgery is proposed as a treatment for a patient, the type of osteotomy and its influence on the facial contour is of major interest. To design the optimal surgical plan, 3D image-based planning can be used. However, prediction of soft tissue deformation due to skeletal changes, is rather complex. The soft tissue model needs to incorporate the characteristics of living tissue...

Foreign Bodies (F.B) are not uncommon in hand as it is involved Day to day activities. Prompt removal during the initial examination norm, but sometimes foreign bodies may be missed and they remain within soft tissue for a long time either revealing itself at later date sinus, swelling or an abscess. We present case of retained FB dorsum technique retrieval such standing FB.
