Primary leiomyosarcoma of the heart is extremely rare and found in about 0.2% of all cardiac tumors. Here in a 26-year-old man with progressive dyspnea, which had started since 2 months ago, is presented. Echocardiography revealed a left atrial mass, which was suggestive for a atrial myxoma.On the surgery, a tumoral tissue in the left atrium and pulmonary veins with attachment to peripheral sof...

Soft tissue perineuriomas are an unusual type of peripheral nerve sheath tumors distinct from schwannomas and neurofibromas, with interesting histologic findings. They are not well characterized on radiographic examination. We report this case of a patient with sinonasal perineurioma to help define the imaging and pathologic features of this rare head and neck tumor.

Giant cell tumor of soft tissue is a rare tumor first described by Salm and Sissons in 1972 as being a distinct entity.(1) Histologically, it is composed of multinucleated giant cells dispersed among mononuclear cells, and is indistinguishable from its bone equivalent.(2) The majority of these tumors have been reported to occur in the lower extremity.(2,3) We describe a case of giant cell tumor...

Introduction: Thermal ablation by microwave (MWA) has proven efficacy in treatment of primary and metastatic cancers. Soft tissue tumors could be ablated completely using MWA. However, bony tissue metastasis particularly spinal vertebral metastasis ablation has not reported yet. Case presentation: A 50 year old male patient with primary diagnosed colon cancer undergone surgical resection of ...

A digital fibromyxoma is a rare soft tissue tumor, which occurs in the finger and toes around subungual periungual region. Histopathologically, it consists of well-circumscribed unencapsulated dermal tumor composed spindle stellate cells loose fascicular pattern embedded myxocollagenous stroma. We report this case superficial acral presenting as an asymptomatic mass greater toe middle age female.

Primary synovial sarcoma of mediastinum is very rare among soft tissue sarcomas. Only a few cases have been reportedin the literatures. The best treatment is still unclear, but, surgical resection is the main therapy. In this article we reporta case of a 20*20 cm (2000gr) primary giant mediastinal synovial sarcoma in a 42 year-old man. We performed radicalexcision of the tumor...

Mixed tumors are relatively common in the skin and salivary glands, but extremely rare in soft tissues, often resulting in diagnostic problems. The occurrence of these tumors in the hand is especially limited. In this article we report the clinical, radiological, and histological features of a mixed tumor of the hypothenar region of the right hand.

Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) is a rare malignant tumor that develops either from a preexisting neurofibroma or de novo. The cell of origin is believed to be the Schwann cell and possibly other nerve sheath cells. In this report, we describe a rare case of MPNST that arise from the socket of second left maxillary molar that has been already extracted in a young man. He was ref...

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...
