[ 1 ] - Assessment of Micro-vessel Density in Brain Glioma by CD105 Expression
Background& Objective: Micro-vascular proliferation is an important histological feature of brain glioma with more vascular proliferation is present in higher grades of glioma. CD 105 is expressed in new actively proliferating and immature endothelial cells in tumor environment and appears to be capable to distinguish between malignant neo-vasculature and normal vesse...
[ 2 ] - Biphasic Epithelial Predominant Synovial Sarcoma Presenting as Painful Thigh Mass
Synovial sarcomas are soft tissue neoplasms mostly located in the lower extremities of young adults. A case of synovial sarcoma of the thigh in a 35-year-old male with the predominant epithelial component is reported. Microscopically the tumor showed variable-sized well-differentiated glands lined by the cuboidal cells with small foci of spindle cell component between glandular structures...
[ 3 ] - Three-phase 99mTc-MDP bone scan in a case of pigment villonodular synovitis
Pigment villondular synovitis (PVNS) is a rare synovial condition. The nature of this disorder is usually characterized as benign; however, malignant transformation has also been reported. MRI is the diagnostic modality of choice in evaluating this entity, revealing low T1 and T2 weighted signals and blooming artifact on gradient echo sequences. Three-phase 99mTc-MDP bone scan has b...
