BACKGROUND Vascular tumors of the kidney are rare tumors that are usually diagnosed and confirmed by histopathological examination due to the difficulty in definitive diagnosis by clinical and radiological examination. Anastomosing hemangioma is a rare variant of capillary hemangioma that mimics angiosarcoma. CASE REPORT Here, we present a case of a 55-year-old female with a history of partial ...

Hemangioma of the rib is a rare benign tumor that is often difficult to distinguish from malignant bone tumors. Rib hemangioma often shows bony disruption with a slight cortical disruption, extraosseous lesion, and expanded bone on computed tomography (CT). We report the case of a 68-year-old man with atypical rib hemangioma with a slight cortical disruption and no expanded bone. The tumor show...

Haemangiomas developing in the hand in relation to tendon and the tenosynovium (tendon sheath) are very rare. To our knowledge only three cases have been described arising in relation to the tenosynovium of the tendons of the hand, only one of which showed infiltration of the underlying tendon. We report the case of a 16-year-old right hand dominant student who presented to her family doctor wi...

Infantile hemangioma is an endothelial tumor that grows rapidly after birth but slowly regresses during early childhood. Initial proliferation of hemangioma is characterized by clonal expansion of endothelial cells (ECs) and neovascularization. Here, we demonstrated mRNA encoding CD133-2, an important marker for endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), predominantly in proliferating but not involut...

Objective: To investigate whether 14-3-3 eta protein is detectable in synovial fluid and blood serum of high performance horses and to study whether any significant correlation between this and matrix metalloproteinase 1 and 3 in horse synovial fluid. Design: Clinical study. Animals: Eleven standard breed horses (seven high performances and four controls). Procedures: Blood serum and fetlock...

Infantile hemangioma is a benign endothelial tumor composed of disorganized blood vessels. It exhibits a unique life cycle of rapid postnatal growth followed by slow regression to a fibrofatty residuum. Here, we have reported the isolation of multipotential stem cells from hemangioma tissue that give rise to hemangioma-like lesions in immunodeficient mice. Cells were isolated based on expressio...

sarcomas are rare tumors account for about 1% of cancers in adult. soft tissue sarcomas are the most common one. synovial sarcoma's incident is about 10% of all sarcomas and most commonly rise from para-articular regions in young adults. based on our knowledge there have been only two reports of thyroid synovial sarcoma in medical literature. we report a 44-year old woman presented with a rapid...

Hemangioma is a common benign soft-tissue tumor; however, intramuscular hemangioma presenting with pathological fracture an infrequent occurrence. Imaging plays key role in diagnosing this entity. We report case of 30-year-old male who presented the left femur following trivial trauma. Clinical examination was remarkable for significant swelling which on further radiological investigation revea...

background: propranolol has been recently indicated to inhibit the rapid growth and involution of infantile hemangioma. in the present study, we investigated the efficacy and safety of propranolol in iranian infants. methods: a total of 30 infants with indications for medical intervention, such as large hemangiomas, wounds with or without secondary infection, or active trauma-induced bleeding, ...

BACKGROUND Hemangiomas, usually, present at the first few months of life and are the most common benign tumor in children. There are various therapeutic methods for hemangioma. Capillary hemangioma is a type of hemangiomas. The steps of treatment of a child with capillary hemangioma in Taleghani Hospital of Gorgan, Iran, are reported. CASE REPORT In this report, it is described an 18-month-ol...
