A 35-year-old Japanese woman was referred to our hospital with a small, asymptomatic tumour on her scalp. The lesion had been present for approximately 3 years and was not associated with any pain or tenderness. Physical examination revealed a 1-cm diameter, firm, and slightly reddish subcutaneous tumour on her scalp (Fig. 1). Clinically, the lesion was initially thought to be a pilomatricoma, ...

Glomus tumors are benign, painful growths originating from glomus bodies and comprise just 1% of tumors arising in the hand, with fewer than 10% in the volar pulp of digits. Hallmark symptoms of glomus tumors include hypersensitivity to cold, heightened pinprick sensitivity, and paroxysmal pain. We report a 72-year-old, right-hand dominant man who presented with pain in the left middle finger, ...

Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) arising in the duodenum are rare neoplasms that are often classified as indolent and have a low potential to metastasize. Although rare, multiple reports cite an increasing incidence of duodenal NETs. Symptoms are usually nonspecific and the diagnosis is made via endoscopy. Endoscopic resection is the mainstay of therapy. The prognosis is usually favorable. We descr...

Background : Solitary fibrous tumours rare spindle cell neoplasms, initially regarded as occurring exclusively within the thoracic cavity with a pleural origin. We report an unusual and case, of solitary tumor skin. Whose evolution has been marked by several recurrences after surgical excision Case Report: 49 year old man, dorsolumbar cutaneous tumor.

In non-invasive thermal diagnostics, accurate correlations between the thermal image on skin surface and interior human pathophysiology are often desired, which require general solutions for the bioheat equation. In this paper, a difference scheme for the Pennes with a space-dependent thermal physiological parameters and convective boundary condition on the top surface, was used to approximate ...
