Pseudomyogenic hemangioendothelioma is a rare, recently described neoplasm that usually presents as multifocal lesions in a single extremity. The disease has demonstrated a high propensity for infiltrative growth and local recurrence but limited metastatic potential. Variations of histological appearance and immunohistochemical signatures have been described, but typically involve spindle or po...

Prevention of infectious diseases in cats is a guarantee their health. It important to carry out routine annual vaccination maintain stable titer antibodies the cat's blood. However, due injection vaccines into same part body every time, risk such dangerous malignant tumor area as post-vaccination sarcoma increases. This pathology occurs 13–16th vaccinated cat per 10 thousand heads. The article...

A subcutaneous mass at the digit of the left-hind limb of a 12-year-old, male mongrel dog was examined. A white firm mass, approximately 1 x 2 cm in diameter, was excided surgically. Histopathologically, the mass formed multiple nodules consisting of mixed proliferation of round epithelioid cells arranged in cord or sheet-like structures and small spindle cells forming loose irregular bundles. ...

We report a 50-year-old woman with no relevant clinical history who presented with headache and loss of memory. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a left parieto-temporal mass with annular enhancement after contrast media administration, rendering a radiological diagnosis of high-grade astrocytic neoplasm. Tumour sampling was performed but the patient ultimately died as a result of disease. Micr...

Schwannoma is a benign nerve sheath neoplasm which mainly locates in the soft tissue but rarely originates in the bone. Intraosseous Schwannoma is prone to occur in the mandible and sacrum, while its occurrence is seldom seen in the calcaneus. Herein we report an 18-year-old man with a chief complaint of pain in the right heel. Radiographs revealed a huge, osteolytic, and expansile lesion with ...

Multilobular tumor of bone detected in a 2.5-year-old male Pekingese dog is reported. Grossly, the neoplasm consisted of multiple, variably sized, gritty, grayish-white to yellow nodules separated by thick collagenous septa. Histologically, these nodules contained multiple lobules of irregularly shaped and sized islands of well-differentiated osteoid and cartilage, separated by anastomosing fib...

Sarcomatoid carcinoma of nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses is an extremely rare malignant neoplasm. We report a case of sarcomatoid carcinoma arising in the left-side nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses in a 65-year-old man who was hospitalized for left-side nasal epistaxis, odor sensation. Histopathologic examination revealed the tumor was composed of pleomorphic spindle and round cells with f...

Malignant melanoma can metastasize widely and vary significantly in its histological appearance; it rarely presents as a deep-seated mass without an obvious primary site elsewhere. Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) is a high-grade sarcoma characterized by conventional and epithelioid subtypes. MPNST can demonstrate heterologous differentiation, usually in the form of osteosarcomat...

A case of xanthogranulomatous inflammation of the gastric wall is reported. The lesion was associated with adherent xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis and simulated, clinically, a malignant neoplasm. Histologically, foamy histiocytes, multinucleated giant cells, other inflammatory cells, fibrous reaction with spindle cells and cholesterol clefts were found. (7 Clin Pathol 1993;46:88-90) Xanthogr...
