Purpose: Official guideline published and coordinated by the German Society of Gynecology and Obstetrics (DGGG). Due to their rarity and their heterogeneous histopathology uterine sarcomas remain challenging tumors to manage and need a multidisciplinary approach. To our knowledge so far there is no evidence-based guideline on the appropiate management of these heterogeneous tumors. Methods: Thi...

primary pleuropulmonary synovial sarcomas are rare soft tissue malignancies; combined metastatic involvement of the heart is extremely rare. in this case report, a 17-year-old female presented with a history of chest pain. chest radiographs revealed a round mass in the left upper hemithorax, and computed tomography (ct) showed a well-defined heterogeneous enhancing mass abutting the pleura. a c...

Purpose This report describes a case of amaurosis fugax due to a rare primary cardiac sarcoma. Observations A patient who was recently diagnosed with left atrial pleomorphic sarcoma presented with a chief complaint of multiple episodes of intermittent vision loss in the right eye during the course of radiation therapy. Conclusions and importance The authors postulate emboli from the left at...

Sarcomas are tumors of mesenchymal origin that make up approximately 1% of human cancers. They may arise as primary tumors in either bone or soft tissue, with approximately 11,280 soft tissue tumors and 2,650 bone tumors diagnosed each year in the United States. There are at least 50 different subtypes of soft tissue sarcoma, with new ones described with ever-increasing frequency. One way to lo...

Mice allografted with different sarcomas, induced by the Schmidt-Ruppin variant of Rous sarcoma virus (RSV-SR), showed a resistance against subsequent isografting of 9 different Rous sarcomas. Transplantation resistance could also be induced by Rous mouse tumor cells x-irradiated with 8000 r or with cell-free tumor extracts, containing no demonstrable virus. No transplantation resistance could ...

Soft tissue sarcoma arising as a head and neck lesion is very rare in adults. Therefore, no standardized treatment exists for this entity of disease. We retrospectively analyzed 11 cases of head and neck soft tissue sarcomas treated at Osaka University Hospital from 1991 to 2011. They were pathologically classified as follows: 5 cases with rhabdomyosarcoma, 2 cases with liposarcoma, 2 cases wit...

Background: Ewing Sarcoma Family of Tumors (ESFTs) is the second most common primary tumors of bone in childhood. The decision regarding the optimal modality for achieving local tumor control remains uncertain. The aim of this study was to report the clinical features and outcome as well as reviewing risk factors in patients. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 75 ESFTs pat...

BACKGROUND Granulocytic sarcoma is an extramedullary tumor of myeloblasts. The purpose of this report was to present a case of a primary laryngeal granulocytic sarcoma and review of the literature. METHODS A literature review was performed using Medline and PubMed databases to search for cases of all primary and secondary myelogenous tumors of the larynx. RESULTS A 36-year-old man presented...

An established human neurogenic sarcoma cell line pre sented a tumor-associated antigen common to various sarcoma tumors. The antigen was detected by immunofluorescent techniques with the use of the sera of patients bearing such tumors and is located mainly on the cellular surface. The tumor-specific antibody of most sera showed only membrane immunofluorescence while five sera revealed both int...
