Although rare, cardiac tumors are a type of surgical pathology that can present itself during clinical practice. Like the majority neoplasms, these classified into two groups: primary and secondary or benign malignant. However, classification does not determine treatment, but diagnostic pathway is same this revolve only around cardiologist an/or surgeon for optimal patient outcomes. That why it...

Intraluminal formations of the heart are a heterogeneous group: from blood clots to malignant neoplasms. The nosology these can only be determined by morphological research. Myxofibrosarcoma is rare tumor. According modern concepts, myxofibrosarcoma belongs group intimal sarcomas, subgroup undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcomas. We describe two cases heart: in one subject against background infl...

Primary or secondary neoplasms can affect the heart. Secondary are more common. However, primary neoplasms are relevant because is a group with diverse genesis, behavior, treatment and clinical manifestations. We present a case of a 45 year-old woman, with recurrent syncope started 1 year before her first consult. She had palpitations and chest pain. Echocardiography identified a left atrium ma...

The transcription factor LMO2 is involved in vascular and hematopoietic development and hematolymphoid neoplasia. We have demonstrated that LMO2 is expressed nearly ubiquitously in native and neoplastic vasculature, including lymphatics. LMO2 reactivity is otherwise virtually absent in nonhematolymphoid tissues except in breast myoepithelium, prostatic basal cells, and secretory phase endometri...

spindle cell neoplasms are defined as neoplasms that consist of spindle-shaped cells in the histopathology. spindle cell neoplasms can affect the oral cavity. in the oral cavity, the origin of the spindle cell neoplasms may be traced to epithelial, mesenchymal and odontogenic components. this article aims to review the spindle cell neoplasms of the oral cavity with emphasis on histopathology.  ...

Cardiac myxomas are the most common neoplasms of the heart. They can be located in any chamber of the heart but frequently in the left atrium. In this report we present a patient who had been treated for a right ventricular myxoma originating from the interventricular septum and leading to right ventricular outflow tract obstruction.

The effect of the immunosuppressive therapy on the development of neoplasms has become the object of an ever increasing interest for clinicians all over the world. The literature on neoplasms development in the course of therapy following transplants has confirmed a considerable increase in the incidence of neoplasms of the skin and lymph nodes. Organ neoplasms developing in patients after tran...

OBJECTIVE There is a lack of data focusing on non-communicable disease (NCD) mortality in the Chinese elderly population over the past decade. METHODS Using mortality data from the Chinese Health Statistics, we explored the crude and age-standardized mortality trend of three major NCDs in the Chinese population ≥65 years of age from 2002 to 2010, namely, malignant neoplasms, heart diseases, a...

In the oral cavity, the origin of the spindle cell neoplasms may be traced to epithelial, mesenchymal and odontogenic components. This article aims to review the spindle cell neoplasms of the oral cavity with emphasis on histopathology. ...

In 1900, the three leading causes of death in the United States were infectious diseases: Pneumonia/Influenza, Tuberculosis, and Gastritis/Enteritis/Colitis. 1 By the mid-20th century, three chronic diseases (Diseases of the Heart, Malignant Neoplasms and Cerebrovascular Disease) were firmly entrenched as the leading causes of death in the U.S. Late in the 20th century, seven of every ten U.S. ...
