BACKGROUND Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is a noninvasive method for investigation of tumor histological content. It has been applied for some musculoskeletal tumors and reported to be useful. OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to prospectively evaluate the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of benign and malignant soft tissue tumors and to determine if ADC can help diffe...

OBJECTIVE To distinguish between benign and malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors around the pelvis. METHODS A retrospective study of 30 patients with benign and malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors located around the pelvis was performed. Clinical, imaging and histological features of 19 benign and 11 malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors around the pelvis were reviewed retrospecti...

Thirty-one patients with spinal tumors underwent reconstructive surgery with our spinal instrumentation system (MPDS and MADS), with or without our new vertebral tumor prosthesis. The characteristics of the spinal tumors were analysed statistically and the treatment outcome was evaluated. There were 4 benign tumors, 6 malignant tumors, and 21 metastatic tumors. The malignant tumors involved the...

Canine mammary gland tumors are the most common neoplasms in intact female dogs. Approximately half of all malignant, and there is a risk metastasis, which associated with poor prognosis. This study to evaluate prognostic factors canine development malignant tumors. From 2014 2020, 60 dogs that underwent surgical treatment were evaluated this retrospective study. Tumor size, TNM stage, histopat...

A series of malignant tumors experimentally induced by implanting Ni3S2 in gelatin capsules into the right hind limb of Fischer 344 rats is described. In this series, histology and ultrastructure revealed two major cell types. These are described as fibroblast-like and histiocyte-like. In addition, numerous giant cells, including large bizarre multinucleate giant cells with granular cytoplasm, ...

BACKGROUND Due to the improvement in diagnosis and therapy for certain malignant tumors, we are now faced with patients who develop in time multiple malignancies. METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of the patients diagnosed with at least two primary cancers that were admitted and treated in Cluj-Napoca Municipal Hospital. The study followed patients for a period of 7.5 years. RES...

Giant cell carcinoma of the endometrium is a rare and an aggressive tumor that should be distinguished from other endometrial tumors with a prominent giant cell component, including trophoblastic tumors, certain primary sarcomas, and malignant mixed müllerian tumors. At present, cumulative data on this rare histological variant is limited and the prognostic significance of the presence and the ...
