STUDY DESIGN A retrospective study. PURPOSE To clarify the features useful for the differential diagnosis of spinal canal tumoral lesions in patients undergoing hemodialysis. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE Tumoral lesions in the spinal canal are rarely found in hemodialysis patients. Therefore, the differential diagnosis of tumoral lesions in the spinal canal in hemodialysis patients has been very ...

We report a case of a 75-year-old female with bilateral thigh pain for several years secondary to soft tissue calcification. Massive calcinosis of the soft tissues is a unique, but not uncommon, radiographic finding. On the contrary, tumoral calcinosis is a rare familial disease. The term tumoral calcinosis has been overly used to describe any massive collection of periarticular calcification. ...

Introduction In neurosurgery, the relationship among tumor mass and peri-tumoral structures including peri-tumoral edema are important for planning surgical trajectory and crucial for diagnosis, tumor excision, and post-surgical outcome [1]. Conventionally, T2WI and Gadolinium(Gd)-T1WI provide the information of, tumor mass, and peri-tumoral edema. The recent development of diffusion tensor MRI...

conclusions: despite its known shortcomings, like every other diagnostic tool, panoramic radiography can contribute to the early detection of maxillary/mandibular lesions that in turn enable the dentist to devise an appropriate treatment plan. results: cysts were mostly more common in men despite the equal propensity of both genders to benign tumors. in contrast, women showed a higher frequency...

AIM The authors assessed the influence of preoperative radiotherapy on autophagy process using a quantitative assessment of LC3 expression on both normal and tumoral colorectal tissues. MATERIALS AND METHODS Normal and malignant tissue samples were taken from 50 patients that underwent surgery for colorectal adenocarcinoma of which 11 received preoperative radiotherapy. Tissue samples were in...

Tumoral calcinosis is a distinct clinical and histologic entity that is characterized by tumour like periarticular deposits of calcium that are found foremost in regions of hip, shoulder and elbow. The disorder occurs predominantly in otherwise healthy children, adolescents, young adults and is more often multiple than solitary. We report a case of Tumoral calcinosis in a 15 year old male and d...

Tumoral calcinosis is a rare and benign hereditary tumor-like periarticular calcium deposit. It is painless and it is found commonly around large joints such as hip, shoulder and elbow. The condition predominately affects young black African patients with an equal gender ratio. In this report, a case of primary idiopathic localized tumoral calcinosis in a 22-year-old African man and its distinc...

Two cases are reviewed, both of which developed tumoral calcinosis whilst receiving 1, alpha-hydroxy-cholecalciferol therapy. Tumoral calcinosis is an extreme form of peri-articular calcification, and its occurrence in patients with chronic renal failure is unusual. These peri-articular masses developed around the shoulders in both patients, and the action of 1, alpha-hydroxycholecalciferol as ...

INTRODUCTION Tumoral calcinosis is a rare and benign condition characterized by massive subcutaneous soft tissue deposits of calcium phosphate predominantly around large joints. CASE PRESENTATION Familial tumoral calcinosis was present in two members of a Han Chinese family, namely, the son and daughter. The 14-year-old son had the first operation on his right sole of the foot at the age of s...

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare CD10 expression in tumoral and stromal cells of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and basal cell carcinoma (BCC) in order to differentiate SCC from BCC in problematic cases. Methodology: Twenty six SCC and 30 BCC cases were retrieved randomly from Al-zahra hospital pathology archive and CD10 expression was determined in tumoral and stromal c...
