INTRODUCTION Tumoral calcinosis is an uncommon disorder characterized by the development of calcified masses within the peri-articular soft tissues of large joints, but rarely occurs within the hand. CASE PRESENTATION We present the case of a 31-year-old pregnant Indian woman with a three-month history of painful swelling within the tip of her right middle finger following a superficial lacer...

INTRODUCTION Hepatoblastoma with tumour thrombi extending into inferior-vena-cava and right atrium are often unresectable with an extremely poor prognosis. The surgical approach is technically challenging and might require major liver resection with vascular reconstruction and extracorporeal circulation. However, which is the best surgical technique is yet unclear. PRESENTATION OF CASE A 11-m...

Introduction: Malignant tumors of the skin include basal cell carcinoma, squamous malignant melanoma and appendages.Skin lesions in head neck region are frequently encountered geriatric population. Although these generally benign, it is widely known that prevalence increases with age.In adults, 80% masses neck, except benign thyroid diseases, neoplastic origin this rate reaches 90% after 5th de...

Idiopathic tumoral calcinosis is an unusual benign condition characterized by the presence of calcified soft tissue masses of varying size around the joints. In this retrospective study,clinical data and radiological features of nine cases of idiopathic tumoral calcinosis are reviewed. Imaging features, particularly magnetic resonance imaging findings are detailed.

A morphometric analysis of tumoral Langerhans cells and activated macrophages was conducted using canine cutaneous tumors (65 cases of canine cutaneous histiocytoma and 7 cases of pyogranuloma). The histiocytic origin of the tumor cells was confirmed using immunohistochemistry. The parameters of the morphometric analysis included cellular and nuclear size and shape and the nuclear:cytoplasmic r...

Tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome clinically characterized by bone pain, fractures and muscle weakness. It is caused by tumoral overproduction of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) that acts primarily at the proximal renal tubule, decreasing phosphate reabsorption and 1α-hydroxylation of 25 hydroxyvitamin D, thus producing hypophosphatemia and osteomalacia. Les...

Background: Surgical margin determination in malignant lesions is essential and has a direct impact on the choice of postoperative treatments and patient follow-up. Therefore, the processes affecting this variable are worth exploring. This study aimed to evaluate the difference in surgical margin values in excisional skin samples during surgery and after formalin fixation. Methods: A cross-sec...

Color patterns of 3-dimensional (3D) shear wave elastography (SWE) is a promising method in differentiating tumoral nodules recently. This study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of color patterns of 3D SWE in breast lesions, with special emphasis on coronal planes.A total of 198 consecutive women with 198 breast lesions (125 malignant and 73 benign) were included, who underwent conventio...
