Temporal bone chondroblastoma is an extremely rare benign bone tumor. We encountered two cases showing similar imaging findings on computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and dual-time-point 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/CT. In both cases, CT images revealed temporal bone defects and sclerotic changes around the tumor. Most parts of the ...

malignant fibrous histiocytoma (mfh) is the most common soft-tissue sarcoma which predominantly surfaces in the retro-peritoneum and extremity. mfh of lung is a very rare condition. the diagnosis is essentially through histologic examination. however, the invasion of the chest wall or other organs might help establish the malignant nature.we report a case of a 77-year-old man who had been prese...

conclusions in patients with abdominal or pelvic masses and a history of previous abdominal surgery, the possibility of gossypiboma should be kept in mind. case presentation we report two patients (the first patient was 50 years old, with a history of an appendectomy three years ago in another city; the second patient was 52 years old, with a history of a cesarean section 25 years ago in anothe...

Epitheloid osteosarcoma (carcinosarcoma) of the bone is a rare malignant tumor and only a few cases have been reported in the literature. In this study, we report two cases of osseous carcinosarcoma (epitheloid osteosarcoma) with immunohistochemical studies.  The morphological and immunohistochemical data in these two cases support the theory of divergent differentiation of primitive, uncommitt...

osteosarcoma (os) is the eighth common cancer of childhood and its incidence is 4 cases in one million in children younger than 14. facial os incidence is estimated between 8 and 10% of os cases. the main etiology of os is unknown, but various predisposing factors are proposed such as radiation, radiotherapy, some benign bone diseases like paget’s disease or fibrous dysplasia. there is a 5-year...

Salivary  gland  tumors  accounts  for  less  than  1%  of  all  tumors.  Minor  salivary  gland  tumors (MSGTs) are uncommon and make up about 10% of all salivary gland neoplasms. The clinical and histopathological distribution of these tumors vary geographically. A case of a 38 yr old man with a minor salivary gland mass at chin region isreported here. The tumor invaded into the anterior ...

Primary bone tumors can be either benign or malignant considering their natural history and cellular morphology. Benign bone tumors are much more frequent than malignant ones although some of them like giant cell tumor of bone can behave just like a malignant one that means has the capacity for massive local destruction and remote metastasis. Giant cell tumor of bone in adult people has a very ...
