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 ...

pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pnet) are uncommon pancreatic neoplasms, accounting for 1-2% of all pancreatic tumors. however, they have a better prognosis and long-term survival compared to exocrine pancreatic cancer. pnets can be divided into functional or non-functional based upon whether or not they excrete active substances relevant to specific clinical syndromes. skeletal muscle metast...

multiple primary tumors in a single patient are relatively rare when four or more distinct lesions are considered. herein, we report a case of woman with four different primary tumors: meningioma, renal angiomyolipoma, spinal ependymoma and high-grade soft tissue sarcoma. there was no family history and hereditary syndrome. the genetic analysis was completely normal. to best of our knowledge, t...

The objective of this review is to highlight the major imaging characteristics of the main soft-tissue sarcoma histotypes observed in the group "Sarcomi" of the Istituto Oncologico Veneto in the last 5 years. A literature review was performed using PubMed and textbooks. Radiological imaging can guide the diagnosis for the subset of lesions that have typical clinical and imaging features. Soft-t...

This paper presents four cases of abnormal soft tissue activity in the bone scan of patients with different lesions (lung inflammatory pseudotumor, pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary metastatic osteosarcoma and metastatic hepatic carcinoma of colon).

Soft tissue tumors are generally defined as tumors of connective tissues, including nonosseous sarcomas, benign mesenchymal tumors, and tumor-like proliferations. These tumors are usually considered to include non-osseous tumors of the extremities, trunk wall, intraabdominal and intrathoracic space, and head and neck, although definitions vary. Generally excluded from this definition are nonmes...
