AIM To evaluate the use of intraosseous lines for rapid vascular access in primary resuscitation of preterm and full term neonates. METHODS Thirty intraosseous lines were placed in 27 newborns, in whom conventional venous access had failed. RESULTS All the neonates survived the resuscitation procedure, with no long term side effects. CONCLUSION Intraosseous infusion is quick, safe, and ef...

Intraosseous leiomyomas are very rare. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first published case of primary intraosseous leiomyoma in a rib. This rare benign tumour should be included in the differential diagnosis of any relatively small intraosseous lesion with benign imaging findings, but with gradually worsening, long-standing pain.

BACKGROUND Hibernoma is a rare benign tumor of adults that is composed of multivacuolated adipocytes resembling brown fat cells. Hibernoma typically occurs in soft tissue, and intraosseous examples are very rare. Intraosseous hibernomas can radiologically mimic metastatic carcinoma and other tumorous conditions. METHODS To collect the intraosseous hibernomas, we searched the pathologic databa...

Abstract Introduction Primary intraosseous carcinoma (PIOC) of the jaw is an incredibly rare lesion with approximately 200 cases reported in literature. PIOC are mostly asymptomatic incidental radiographic findings and present as poorly-defined, non-corticated radiolucencies often root resorption cortical perforation. Prognosis considered poor best predicted by histological grade. Case report A...

Meningioma originates from arachnoid cap cells and is usually dura-based and slow growing. They account for 15% to 20% of primary brain tumors. Primary intraosseous meningioma (PIM) is a type of ectopic meningioma, and has been rarely reported. PIMs have been reported to constitute less than 2% of meningiomas, and are usual reported in the frontotemporal regions of the calvarium [1], orbits, an...
