conclusions primary extracranial meningiomas (pems) without intracranial origin are very rare and because of their slow growing nature are initially managed by primary care physicians. case presentation we report a case of slowly progressing extracranial meningioma that was presented in a young adult woman. the tumor was asymptomatic but large enough to cause cosmetic discomfort. patient underw...

the brain is a rare site for metastasis in most extracranial pediatric solid tumors, including wilm’s tumor. outcome for these patients are generally dismal. very few cases have been reported to have good survival even after therapy. this paper reports a case of stage iv wilm’s tumor with lung metastases in a patient who developed a solitary brain metastasis five months after completion of chem...

in this study, 22 patients (15-75 years old) were selected and transferred to ct scan for tumor ablation. for ablations, after prep and drep under the local anesthesia and mild sedation in proper position, small incision made and special needle inserted and guided by proper direction to the core of the tumor. then, laser probe inserted through the needle and laser energy delivered. although we ...

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is a vascular tumor with an intermediate malignant potential. This tumor is very rare in the lung parenchyma, and most of the previously reported cases have been asymptomatic. There is no standard therapy for this tumor and prognosis in the previous reports has been variable.Herein we report our experience with a 60-year-old woman presenting with hemoptysis and ...

Abstract BACKGROUND Terminology to describe extent of resection in glioblastoma is inconsistent across clinical trials. A surgical classification system was previously proposed based upon residual contrast-enhancing (CE) tumor. We aimed (I) explore the prognostic utility and (II) define how much removed non-CE tumor translates into a survival benefit. METHODS The international RANO resect group...

Granular cell tumor is a rare benign non-encapsulated tumor that mostly presents in oral cavity. Breast localization is uncommon and occurs in about one per 1000 cases of breast cancers. It mainly affects premenopausal women showing the possible role of estrogen and progesterone levels in the progression of this tumor. Granular cell tumor is a great emulator of the invasive ductal carcinoma of ...

Sternal tumors are very rare and challenging. Secondary sternal tumors are more common than primary tumors. These tumors are usually refractory to chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and surgery is the best choice for their treatment. In this study, we reported the collected data of 15 patients with primary and secondary tumors of the sternum, histological type, as well as kind of resection and reco...

Background: Tumor spread through air spaces (STAS) is now recognized as tumor invasion. However, the association between STAS and procedure-specific outcomes (limited resection lobectomy) in patients with pathologic stage I lung adenocarcinoma (ADC) still under investigation.

Aggressive fibromatosis also known as extra abdominal desmoid tumor is an uncommon benign tumor of soft tissue origin with fibroblastic proliferationSince the tumor is locally aggressive, the lesion may be misdiagnosed as low -grade fibrosarcoms. It accounts for 0.03% - 0.1% of all body tumors and 3% of all soft tissue tumors. Only 10% to 15% of these lesions occur in head and neck, usually in ...
