We have studied a case of intractable congestive heart failure who died and her autopsy revealed a peri­cardial mesothelioma and left atrial myxoma.The mesothe­lioma was huge;much larger than the heart.  Histological examination of the mesothelioma showed a mixed fibre-epithelial patern,with areas of myxoid chan­ges. Since it is a rare tumor we have reviewed the liter­ature on the pericardial ...

Chondrosarcomas are malignant tumors of cartilage that rarely involve the sinonasal region, and myxoid chondrosarcoma is a rare histologic variant of chondrosarcoma that usually occurs in the soft tissue of extremities. Although several case reports and results of small series of chondrosarcomas in the sinonasal region in children are available, myxoid type chondrosarcoma is extremely rare. We ...

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 surf...

Of 197 cases of canine oral malignant melanoma, 29 cases with myxoid, cartilage, and osteoid formation were studied pathologically and immunohistochemically. Tumor tissues were classified into spindle cell type (13 cases), epithelioid cell type (1 case), and mixed type (15 cases). Myxoid matrixes (29 tumors) were formed mainly in the tissues of spindle cell type and were positive for Alcian blu...

Myxoid liposarcoma displays variably aggressive behavior and responds poorly to available systemic therapies. Expression profiling followed by tissue microarray validation linked to patient outcome is a powerful approach for validating biological mechanisms and identifying prognostic biomarkers. We applied these techniques to independent series of primary myxoid liposarcomas in an effort to ass...

PURPOSE Myxoid liposarcoma is a common subtype of liposarcoma. It is associated in more than 90% of cases with the chromosomal translocation t(12;16)(q13;p11) leading to the fusion FUS-CHOP gene that is responsible for the oncogenic transformation of preadipocytes. Recently the marine natural product trabectedin has shown highly selective activity for myxoid liposarcoma, even in the most aggres...

Chondroid tumors comprise a heterogenous group of benign to overt malignant neoplasms, which may be difficult to differentiate from one another by histological examination. A group of 43 such tumors was stained with nine relevant antibodies in an attempt to find consistent marker profile(s) for the different subgroups. Archival material from three extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcomas, five chor...

Myxoid soft-tissue sarcomas represent a heterogeneous group of mesenchymal tumors characterized by a predominantly myxoid matrix, including myxoid liposarcoma (MLS), low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma (LGFMS), extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma (EMC), myxofibrosarcoma, myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma (MIFS), and myxoid dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP). Cytogenetic and molecular genetic ...
