A new technical tip for the improvement of the arthroscopic treatment of symptomatic calcifying tendinitis is described. Arthroscopic excision of calcifying tendonitis may result with multiple minute calcific debris in the subacromial bursa, causing severe post operative pain due to chemical irritation of the bursa. We suggest the use of a bladeless shaver barrel as a "Hoover" (vacuum cleaner) ...

Malherbe and Chenantais were the first to report a pilomatrixoma in 1880. They described a calcifying epithelioma, believing it to be a sebaceous gland tumor. Since 1905, this uncommon neoplasia has been called Malherbe’s calcifying epithelioma. Numerous studies suggest that this tumor stems from the external sheath of hair follicles. In 1961, Forbis and Helwig proposed the term pilomatrixoma, ...

Calcifying tendinitis is a common disorder related to deposition of hidroxyapatite crystals, which is most common around the shoulder joint, involving the supraespinosus tendon. It can however, affect almost any tendon at its insertion. Clinical features are variable and include pain and inflammation that often resolves spontaneously. We present a case of bilateral calcifying tendinitis of the ...

A nine year old boy with localised Castleman disease of the hyaline-vascular subtype developed a calcifying fibrous pseudotumour. This pathological association does not appear to have been described before. In this case, the development of this very unusual soft tissue tumour-like process was thought to be related to a previous fine needle aspiration biopsy, which was performed because of lymph...

Introduction: Calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC) is a benign cystic type of tumor, without neoplastic character and unusual in nature. Its development slow asymptomatic, being characterized by mass that affects the maxilla mandible. Case Report: A 40-year-old male presented with mild extra intraoral facial swelling region right upper incisors, symptoms. On examination, he observed intact normal ...

The calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT) is a rare benign epithelial odontogenic neoplasm of slow growth that is locally aggressive and tends to invade bone and adjacent soft tissue. Here is reported the case of a 21-year-old female patient with a CEOT in the left mandibular posterior region. The computerized tomography in coronal plane revealed a hypodense lesion in the posterior reg...

Intramucosal gastric tumours are most commonly found to be gastrointestinal stromal tumours or leiomyomas (smooth muscle tumours); however, a variety of other uncommon mesenchymal tumours can occur in the stomach wall. A rare benign calcifying fibrous tumour is reported and the endoscopic appearance, ultrasound findings and morphology are documented. A review of the literature found only two si...

Calcifying fibrous tumor (CFT) is benign mesenchymal lesion. CFTs of the GI tract are quite rare with less than 60 cases gastric reported in English literature. In a healthy 49 old female, routine Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) revealed an internally isoechoic, homogeneous 12mm lesion mainly within submucosa distal body stomach no significant past history. An endoscopic submucosal dissection ...

Calcifying fibrous tumor (CFT) is a benign lesion characterized by its specific histological findings and is found as solitary or multiple lesions in several locations of the human body. The aim of the present systematic review is to give a detailed account of all reported cases of CFT in the literature and to analyze the available data, to completely characterize the entity from epidemiologica...
