We present three patients with variegated aneuploidy and premature centromere division (PCD), a rare chromosomal abnormality in humans. Comparison of these three and eight other patients with variegated aneuploidy related to PCD demonstrates a phenotype comprising most frequently microcephaly, CNS anomalies (with cerebellar affection and migration defects), mental retardation, pre-and postnatal...

Myxomas are locally invasive, benign mesenchymal neoplasms with odontogenic, osteogenic, or soft tissue origin. Facial myxomas probably account for less than 0.5% of all paranasal sinus and nasal tumors. We report a case of a left painless periocular mass in a 11-month-old girl. The lesion was resected with a clinical diagnosis of lacrimal sac tumor. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry prov...

Nocardia infection occurs primarily among patients with deficient cell-mediated immunity. The portal of entry in the majority of patients with Nocardia infection is pulmonary origin. Central venous catheter-associated bacteremia caused by Nocardia species is very rare, and the optimal management for these situations was indeterminate. Most patients were cured after discontinuation of central ve...

rhabdomyosarcoma (rms) is the most frequent soft tissue sarcoma in children. the aim of study was to retrospectively review the treatment results of childhood rhabdomyosarcoma and identify prognostic factors. 60 children with rhabdomyosarcoma treated between 1996 and 2002 in shafa hospital were reviewed. the data were analyzed for clinico-epidemiological factors. age, gender, race, histology ty...

Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common childhood primary malignant tumor of orbit. Most of patients present between the ages of 7 and 8 years. Pure eyelid rhabdomyosarcoma is a very rare tumor with only a few reported cases in the literature. We introduce a pure embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of upper lid in 15-year-old patient and demonstrate successful management of it.

We report a 16-year-old girl with a multiple primary rhabdomyosarcoma of right upper extremity who developed contralateral breast metastasis in her clinical course. She was diagnosed to have multiple primary rhab-domyosarcoma of the right upper extremity with lung metastasis one year prior to finding a mass in her left breast. The excisional biopsy of the breast mass confirmed metastatic rhabdo...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the conservative management and prognosis of primary vaginal endodermal sinus tumor and rhabdomyosarcoma in children. Medical records of children with vaginal endodermal sinus tumor and rhabdomyosarcoma between 1996 and 2015 were reviewed. A total of 24 patients (median age, 12 months; range, 7-44 months) were included in this study, comprising 17 patients ...

INTRODUCTION Rhabdomyosarcoma has known as a highly malignant soft tissue sarcoma. It has been the most common soft tissue sarcoma in childhood, accounting for about 3 to 4 % of all cases of childhood cancer. Rhabdomyosarcoma was rare in adults, accounting for 3% of all soft-tissue sarcomas. embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of female genital tract including uterine cervix in an adult was rare. CASE...

Aims: Rhabdomyosarcoma of the urinary bladder is exceedingly rare in adults. The most common type is pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma. So far, more than a hundred of case reports were published in the literature about adult urinary rhabdomyosarcoma, but our case is the 23th pleomorphic type adult rhabdomyosarcoma in the literature. So, we wanted to share this case report with other clinicians. Pres...
