although most breast cancers are adenocarcinomas of the mammary gland, primary breast sarcomas may also arise from mammary gland mesenchymal tissue. sarcomas represent less than 1% of primary breast neoplasms. these tumors are at high risk of recurrence and are known to have poor prognosis. surgical resection is the primary treatment for these lesions and axillary lymph node dissection is not r...

primary myeloid sacrom (ms) is a rare tumor and even more rare in multiple organs with no evidence of bone marrow involvement. this report describes an unusual case of a 19-year-old male presenting scrotal ms with a history of subconjunctival ms, 5 months ago. bone marrow biopsies showed no evidence of acute leukemia. despite radiotherapy for first involvement and chemotherapy for second presen...

objectives our objectives were to determine if: 1) imaging pattern at recurrence is associated with delayed diagnosis, and 2) appearance at recurrence can be predicted based on appearance at presentation. conclusion imaging appearance at baseline does not reliably predict imaging appearance at recurrence. therefore, a high index of suspicion for the infiltrative pattern is required in assessmen...

a case is reported with clear cell sarcoma (ccs) of the hand. early diagnosis of clear cell sarcoma is always difficult due to its slow growing nature, benign clinical appearance, lack of pigmentation in most cases, and relatively young age of patients which make it to clinically appear as a benign soft tissue tumor. we report a case of clear cell sarcoma of hand in a 56 year old male with a no...

Background & Objective: Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) constitute an uncommon and heterogeneous group of tumors of mesenchymal origin and various cytogenetic abnormalities ranging from distinct genomic rearrangements, such as chromosomal translocations and amplifications, to more intricate rearrangements involving multiple chromosomes. Fluorescence in situ...

SIR, Paraneoplastic pemphigus (PNP) is an autoimmune blistering and erosive mucocutaneous disease associated with neoplasia, most commonly of lymphoreticular origin, first described by Anhalt et al. An alternative term, paraneoplastic autoimmune multiorgan syndrome, has since been proposed to define a condition in which patients, in addition to severe, often fatal pulmonary involvement and depo...

We evaluated the DMFT (decayed, missing and filled teeth) index and the prevalence of candidiasis, linear gingival erythema, oral hairy leukoplakia, herpes simplex, aphthous ulcers, Kaposi's sarcoma and lymphoma, as well as the association with TCD4 count, viral load (VL) and antiretroviral therapy (ART) in 140 HIV-infected adult individuals. A standardized examination to determine the DMFT ind...

I m A a l a e d a i c owadays, patients with AIDS can live a life with considerble quality in relation to oral health, being healthy enough o tolerate most surgical and dental procedures. Furtherore, several studies have shown that patients with HIV isease are not more susceptible to complications, regardess of CD4-cell counts. There are no oral lesions that are specific to HIV patients. ll les...

Lesotho has the third highest prevalence of HIV in the world with an estimated 23% of the adult population infected. At least 70% of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) have presented with oral manifestation of HIV as the first sign of the disease. Oral health workers regularly encounter patients presenting with oral lesions associated with HIV disease and therefore need to have adequate knowle...

Clear cell sarcomas are rare tumours accounting for less than 1% of all soft tissue tumours. They aggressive lesions with extremely poor prognosis. The clinical diagnosis this tumour is challenging, requiring histopathologic examination definite characterization. treatment protocol not well-established, most studies showing no clear cut role chemoradiation. This a case sarcoma in 57-year-old ma...
