Primary cardiac sarcomas are rapidly progressive malignant tumors. No good therapeutic option is known. In recent years, heart transplantation has sometimes been performed in selected patients with cardiac sarcoma.We retrospectively analyzed 8 patients with primary cardiac sarcoma referred to our center to undergo assessment for heart transplantation. After an exhaustive study of the extension ...

metastatic tumors to the heart unlike primary cardiac tumors are not rare. despite its frequency, cardiac metastasis is commonly detected only during autopsy as the symptoms of disseminated metastasis prevail over symptoms caused by cardiac metastasis and hence is overlooked most of the time. tumors more commonly found metastasizing to the heart are malignancies of lung, breast, esophagus, lymp...

Sarcomas are malignant tumors of mesenchymal origin. They comprise < 1% adult malignancies and about 15-20% pediatric malignancies. These subdivided into bone cartilage sarcomas soft tissue type. the maxillofacial region 5-10% all this part body. Usually do not originate from benign tumors. Among factors known to induce sarcoma growth are: genetic defects, exposure pesticides herbicides, ionizi...

ABSTRACT Background Ewing Sarcoma is the second most frequent primary bone cancer, following Osteosarcoma in children. These tumors consist of small, round, or oval cells, which are believed to derive from parasympathetic autonomic nervous system. The common clinical presentations are pain, local tenderness, fever, palpable mass, and pathologic fractures. Methods and Materials This study de...

  Background: Tumors involving the hand skeleton are rare. However, a basic knowledge of hand tumors is necessary for every clinician. This is due to the importance of distinguishing typical benign tumors from life or limb threatening malignant ones. Methods: This study is a review of 99 cases of osseous hand tumors presented to the department of orthopedic surgery, Imam Khomeini Hospital in Te...

Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma is uncommonly seen and can be present in soft tissue as a slow-growing painless mass. The usual presenting symptoms of these tumors are swelling, pain, constitutional symptoms. However, an initial presentation embolic stroke rarely seen. We report patient who presented with cerebellar had widespread pulmonary nodules on chest X-ray. Computed Tomography (CT)-...

Alveolar soft part sarcoma is a very uncommon soft tissue malignancy which accounts for <1% of soft tissue sarcoma. It is a malignant and highly vascular tumor arising most commonly in the musculature of the lower extremities, with metastasis primarily to the lungs, bones, and brain. Cardiac metastasis is very rare and only 5 cases have been reported in the literature so far. We report a case o...

Kaposi sarcoma originates from endothelial cells and it is one of the most overt angiogenic tumors. In Sub-Saharan Africa, where HIV and the Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) are endemic, Kaposi sarcoma is the most common cancer overall, but model systems for disease study are insufficient. Here, we report the development of a novel mouse model of Kaposi sarcoma, where KSHV is retain...
