diagnosis of bone tumors is based on careful evaluation of clinical, imaging and a pathologic findings. so the biopsy of bone and soft tissue sarcomas is the final step in evaluation and a fundamental step in the diagnosis of the lesion. it should not be performed as a shortcut to diagnosis (1). the biopsy should be performed in order to confirm the diagnosis and differentiate among few diagnos...

conclusions lower extremity movement extent was carefully evaluated and, in respect to muscle strength, the patient was able to walk independently three months after the surgery. the patient’s balance was studied and the results showed moderate levels of stability. case presentation this is a case report concerning a patient who had septic arthritis in the knee area and so underwent soft tissue...

recent studies show significant reduction of postural stability in transtibial amputees (ttas) especially when a perturbation is applied. however, no record has been seen on the consequences of such perturbation on the stump-socket interface pressure (ssip). our objective was to investigate whether such perturbation impose excessive pressures on the stump. we were also interested on the type of...

introduction: peripheral reactive lesions of soft tissue are common oral lesions that dentists face during routine examinations. diagnosis and development of a treatment plan is difficult if dentists are not aware of the prevalence and clinical symptoms of these lesions. the frequency of these lesions differs across various populations. the aim of this study was to determine the frequency and d...

  Extra-skeletal Ewing’s sarcoma is a rare soft tissue malignant neoplasm, morphologically indistinguishable from skeletal Ewing’s sarcoma. The usual sites of involvement are the soft tissues of para-vertebral region, chest wall, and lower extremity. Extra-skeletal Ewing’s sarcoma is rare in the head and neck region and very few cases are reported in the parotid gland. The cytological features...

p63 is a p53 homolog that is expressed in various normal epithelial tissues and epithelial malignancies. Its expression in mesenchymal lesions has not been examined in depth; therefore, we studied p63 expression by immunohistochemical analysis in 650 soft tissue tumors. We found that p63 expression is limited in soft tissue tumors. The majority of tumors studied were p63-, including all cases o...

chondromyxoid fibroma is a rare benign cartilaginous neoplasm that mostly affects the metaphyseal region of the long bones. the tibia, small tubular bones of the foot, the distal femur and pelvis are common locations, but involvement of the vertebral bones, especially the cervical vertebra, is very rare. radiographic features show typical characteristics and this tumor often presents as a lobul...

Although rare, synovial sarcoma is the most common malignant non-rhabdomyosarcomatous soft tissue sarcoma in children and adolescents. Synovial sarcoma typically involves the soft tissues of the extremities, especially near large joints, but it can occur anywhere in the body in locations far from joint spaces. Although this tumor typically affects adults in their fourth decade of life, nearly h...

Background: Soft tissue tumor is defined as mesenchymal proliferation that occurs in extra skeletal non epithelial tissue of the body excluding the viscera, covering of brain and the lymphoreticular system. Aims: 1. To study the histopathological features of soft tissue tumors. 2. To study the relative frequency of benign and malignant cases. 3. To estimate the age and sex distribution. Method:...
