BACKGROUND To investigate the clinicopathological features of six cases of soft tissue recurrent ameloblastoma and explore the role of increased aggressive biological behavior in the recurrences and treatment of this type of ameloblastomas. MATERIAL AND METHODS In this study, we retrospectively reviewed recurrent ameloblastomas during a 15-year period; six cases were diagnosed as soft tissue ...

introduction: coverage of bone grafts is very important in reconstructive surgery. in edentulous alveolar ridges this coverage is particularly important for supporting dental prostheses. here we present the case of a patient with a large deficient maxillary anterior region that was reconstructed with a bilateral palatal submucosal periosteal connective tissue flap: a soft tissue reserve for upp...

  Sarcoidosis is a systemic disease that is characterized with noncaseating granulomatous nodules which present in multiple organs specially lungs (90%) . Incidence of masses due to Sarcoidosis in upper extremity is low and most cases present in association with involvement of pulmonary hilary lymph nodes. In this article we present a rare case of Sarcoidosis which presented as a single soft ti...

A 12-year-old girl was visited at our clinic with multiple soft tissue and bony painless swellings over her right hand since she was 2 years old (Figure 1). Soft tissue masses increased in size and number. She was born to non-consanguineous parents. Her early development was normal and she had no other medical problems. There was no family history of similar problem. Examination revealed multip...

Trauma to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a season-ending injury and involves months of activity modification and rehabilitation. The annual incidence of ACL tears in the United States is approximately 200,000, which allows for a broad range of individualized treatment options. Various surgical techniques, including transtibial and independent tunnel drilling, allograft and autograft ti...

OBJECTIVES This study tested the hypotheses that endografts can be visualized and navigated in vivo solely under real-time magnetic resonance imaging (rtMRI) guidance to repair experimental abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) in swine, and that MRI can provide immediate assessment of endograft apposition and aneurysm exclusion. BACKGROUND Endovascular repair for AAA is limited by endoleak caused...

abstract: objective: giant cell tumor of soft parts is a rare neoplasm that mainly affects adulst and the elderly and is usually located in the extremities. here we report a child with giant cell tumor of soft tissue, which is a very rare condition in childhood. clinical presentation: a 5 year old girl presented with a 5 month history of left lower extremity pain. she had developed paraplegia b...

The technique of cryosurgery has been used to control local recurrence in a variety of benign and malignant bone tumors. Early studies revealed significant complication rates (25%) that included fracture, infection, and soft tissue injury. Our method of cryosurgery has yielded excellent tumor control with improved complication rates. The objective of this study is to determine the characteristi...
