BACKGROUND A mammary-type myofibroblastoma is a rare soft tumor; extramammary myofibroblastomas are especially rare. CASE PRESENTATION A 51-year-old woman presented to our department for evaluation of a mass on the right lower abdominal wall. The mass was then excised completely. Gross examination showed a huge, well-circumscribed soft tissue mass. The pathologic diagnosis was an extramammary...

Secondary malignancy arising following brachytherapy for prostate cancer is rare in medical literature. We present a case of post-brachytherapy soft tissue sarcoma in the pelvis approximately 7 years after 103-P permanent seed implant. The patient developed a large left pelvic mass associated with significant left leg pain. He was not a good candidate for radical surgery, chemotherapy, or re-ir...

In advanced disease, prostate cancer is well known to invade locally as well as metastasise to distant locations. Metastases occur commonly in lymph nodes and bone but have also been known to involve certain visceral organs, particularly the lungs. Involvement of soft tissue by metastases is far less common, particularly in the context of cancer recurrence. We present the case of a male aged 68...

We report CT, MR, and fluorodeoxyglucose-positron-emission tomography (FDG-PET) imaging findings of a case of cellular neurothekeoma of the tongue, a rare benign soft-tissue tumor with neural differentiation, occurring in a 15-year-old girl. CT and MR imaging showed a well-defined, well-enhancing submucosal soft-tissue mass in the midline dorsal tongue. There was high FDG uptake on PET scans. A...

INTRODUCTION Soft tissue sarcomas of the chest wall are exceptionally rare entities that present as painless slow growing masses. Resection is often precarious due to involvement of vital structures, and patients are left with large chest wall defects postoperatively requiring extensive reconstruction. PRESENTATION OF CASE We present a case report of a 29 year-old man who presented with a gia...

INTRODUCTION Soft tissue mass following total hip arthroplasty raises several differential diagnoses not limited to infection, hematoma, wear debris, malignancy, and bursitis. Rice body formation in the hip region is an uncommon process denoting a chronic inflammation. We report here the second case of its kind in the medical literature of a wide symptomatic rice-like body cyst complicating a t...

salivary  gland  tumors  accounts  for  less  than  1%  of  all  tumors.  minor  salivary  gland  tumors (msgts) are uncommon and make up about 10% of all salivary gland neoplasms. the clinical and histopathological distribution of these tumors vary geographically. a case of a 38 yr old man with a minor salivary gland mass at chin region isreported here. the tumor invaded into the anterior surf...

Introduction: Soft tissue has a prominent role in diagnosis and treatment plan in orthodontics. Facial proportions are measurable on lateral cephalograms. The purpose of this study was to compare the means of the normal soft tissue proportions of babol people with the norms of Caucasians. Materials & Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 100 cases with normal occlusion and proportional facia...
