Uterine sarcomas are very unique tumors with mesodermial origin and accounting for 2-6% of uterine cancers. In general, uterine sarcomas are the most malignant tumors of the uterus. Their usual histologic types are endometrial estromal sarcoma, lieomyosarcoma and malignant mixed mullerian tumor or carcinosarcoma In this case report, a 19 year old woman with chief complaint of abnormal ute...

ABSTRACT Sarcomas are the most malignant tumors in the myocardium. Most common sarcoma is theangiosarcoma, classically located in the right atrium. Surgical resection is the primary treatmentof choice for these patients. In July 2003, an 18 years old man with chest pain and dyspnea,referred to the Imam Khomeini Hospital. Chest X-ray showed cardiac enlargement andtransthoracic echocardiography d...

INTRODUCTION Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma is defined as a pleomorphic high-grade sarcoma whose line of differentiation cannot be determined. These tumors constitute less than 5% of all sarcomas in adults. Cardiac neoplasms are rare, and most are metastatic in origin. More than one-third of cardiac metastases originate from lung cancer. Symptoms of cardiac neoplasms usually appear late i...

Multiple primary tumors in a single patient are relatively rare when four or more distinct lesions are considered. Herein, we report a case of woman with four different primary tumors: meningioma, renal angiomyolipoma, spinal ependymoma and high-grade soft tissue sarcoma. There was no family history and hereditary syndrome. The genetic analysis was completely normal. To best of our knowledge, t...

BACKGROUND Primary tumors of the heart represent an exceedingly rare entity in cardiac surgery and literature regarding management and outcome is rare. The aim of this study was to translate 15 years of experience in both multimodal diagnosis and surgical treatment of one of the largest collective of patients in literature into a detailed analysis of patient prognosis, mean survival and best tr...

Primary cardiac sarcomas represent a group of rare and aggressive malignant mesenchymal neoplasms with a notoriously poor prognosis. They comprise a relatively small percentage of all primary neoplasms of the heart. Presenting clinical signs and symptoms associated with any cardiac sarcoma vary in accordance with the individual tumor’s particular site of origin in the heart (eg, left or right a...

Background: The higher frequency of malignant skin tumors is of great significance in renal transplant recipients (RTRs) who should receive immunosuppressive therapy for a long time. This study was designed to determine the frequency of malignant skin tumors in RTRs in Imam Reza Hospital, Mashhad, Iran, in 2001-2002.Method: This descriptive study was performed on 322 recipients who were examine...

Primary cardiac sarcomas are rare. In such tumors, surgical resection is sometimes considered necessary to correct obstruction of flow caused by the tumor and to accomplish complete resection. The anatomic difficulties associated with large, primary, intracavitary left-sided sarcomas have led us to use cardiac explantation, ex vivo tumor resection, and cardiac autotransplantation to meet the an...

Primary cardiac tumors are a rare entity. The presence of a mass in the left atrium suggests myxoma as a first differential diagnosis. Here we present a rare case of a woman with exertional dyspnea with a large tumor in the left atrium. The patient was extensively studied with echocardiography, cardiac MRI, coronary angiography and computed tomography. Extracardiac neoplastic involvement was ru...
