Background: Vestibular Schwannoma (VS) is one of the skull base tumors originating from vestibular portion of eighth cranial nerve. Recently, 2 micro-Thulium laser is used in the surgery of some intracranial tumors. Objectives: Assessing the efficacy of 2 micro-Thulium flexible hand-held laser fiber (RevolixjrÒ) in microsurgical removal of VS. Materials and Methods: This retrospect...

Giant cell tumour of the tendon sheath is a soft tissue mass found occasionally in the hand. Its diagnosis can be readily made preoperatively if the characteristic MRI features are appreciated. This pictorial essay demonstrates and describes the imaging findings correlated with histopathological findings in a group of patients with proven giant cell tumour of the tendon sheath.

Hand and wrist masses represent a common diagnostic challenge. They are predominantly due to pseudomasses, which are mostly cysts and to benign masses that include tenosynovial tumors, fibrohamartolipomas, vascular malformations, glomus tumors and epidermal inclusion cysts. Malignant tumors of the wrist and the hand are extremely rare. Magnetic resonance imaging is the imaging technique of choi...
