An established human neurogenic sarcoma cell line pre sented a tumor-associated antigen common to various sarcoma tumors. The antigen was detected by immunofluorescent techniques with the use of the sera of patients bearing such tumors and is located mainly on the cellular surface. The tumor-specific antibody of most sera showed only membrane immunofluorescence while five sera revealed both int...

In a study of human sarcomas maintained in culture for periods up to two years, the following observations were made. The most prominent cell type in serially cultured osteosarcomas was fibroblastic in appearance. After 16-20 wk in culture some lines spontaneously developed foci of altered cells resembling the foci produced in monolayer cultures by oncogenic viruses. The presence of these foci ...

Myeloid sarcoma is a rare extramedullary tumor of immature myeloid cells. It has been very rarely reported as lateral cervical mass in English literature. Myeloid sarcoma has also been reported with marked eosinophilia. Here we present a 17 year old boy with lateral cervical mass and persistent eosinophilia. The mass was isointense in MRI and homogenously enhanced after contrast injection which...
