Tendon sheath fibromas are rare, benign soft tissue tumors that are predominantly found in the fingers, hands, and wrists of young adult men. This article describes a tendon sheath fibroma that developed in the thigh of a 70-year-old man, the only known tendon sheath fibroma to form in this location. Similar to tendon sheath fibromas that develop elsewhere, our patient's lesion presented as a p...

chondromyxoid fibroma is a rare benign cartilaginous neoplasm that mostly affects the metaphyseal region of the long bones. the tibia, small tubular bones of the foot, the distal femur and pelvis are common locations, but involvement of the vertebral bones, especially the cervical vertebra, is very rare. radiographic features show typical characteristics and this tumor often presents as a lobul...

case presentation a 13-year-old boy, in the case presented in this article, had 15 unerupted teeth, each associated with hyperplastic pericoronal tissue. conclusions the purpose of this article is to report an example of this entity and describe the histopathologic characteristics that helps diagnose and treat such condition in the most appropriate manner. introduction pathologic changes may oc...

BACKGROUND Although cardiac fibroma has been regarded as benign tumor, it presents various symptoms and may lead to death. Unfortunately, only a few studies have reported the epidemiology, embryology, and histopathology of the tumor, and the factors predicting poorer outcome are still obscured. METHODS In July 2011 we searched for English and Japanese cases of cardiac fibroma using the PubMed...

Introduction: Cemento-ossifying fibroma is a benign fibro-osseous maxillary tumor belonging to the same category as fibrous dysplasia and cement-ossifying dysplasia. The aim of present study was report a case of cement-ossifying mandibular fibroma and offers a review of the literature on this disorder. Case report: A 41-year-old woman presented for conventional dental treatment. A control panor...

Since the first description of uterine artery embolisation for the treatment of symptomatic fibroids of the uterus in 1994, this minimally invasive procedure has been increasingly performed in many countries. Transcatheter embolisation of the uterine arteries feeding large fibroids is a minimally invasive technique. This paper presents the combined endovascular and surgical therapy in the treat...

We studied matrix composition and gene expression pattern in chondromyxoid fibromas on the protein and the messenger RNA levels. We could clearly identify focal chondrocytic differentiation within chondromyxoid fibroma by the expression and deposition of type II collagen, which is a marker of chondrocytic cell differentiation. We also were able to show expression of collagen types I, III, and V...

INTRODUCTION Ovarian fibroma is a rare neoplasm and the one with focal proliferations of sex cord type elements is rarer. Histopathological importance lies in the recognition of this entity due to the diagnostic dilemmas that these tumors can pose. To the best of our knowledge only 9 cases of ovarian fibroma with minor sex cord elements have been documented in world literature till date. CASE...
