Primary bone neoplasms are common in dogs. Most primary bone tumors in dogs are malignant, in that they usually cause death as a result of local infiltration (e.g., pathologic fractures or extreme pain leading to euthanasia) or metastasis (e.g., pulmonary metastases in osteosarcoma). Neoplasms that metastasize to the bone are extremely rare in dogs; some malignant tumors that occasionally metas...

Plasma-cell neoplasms are classically categorized into four groups as: multiple myeloma (MM), plasma-cell leukemias, solitary plasmacytomas (SP) of the bone (SPB), and extramedullary plasmacytomas (EMP). These tumors may be described as localized or diffuse in presentation. Localized plasma-cell neoplasms are rare, and include SP of the skeletal system, accounting for 2-5% of all plasma-cell ne...

Osteoporosis is a systemic disease in which the skeletal condition is characterized by a decreased mass of normally mineralized bone, due to an augmentation of bone resorption processes. Bone biomarkers serum are used for the diagnosis. On the other hand the main cause of the resorption in the bone jaws are periodontitis, inflammatory cysts, developmental cysts, odontogenic neoplasms. Periodont...

Neoplasms in sinonasal cavity are dominated by epithelial type. Sinonasal osteomas common, benign, slow-growing, often asymptomatic neoplasms occurring mainly the frontal and ethmoid sinuses. Peripheral nevre sheath tumors soft tissue rarely encountered region. Schwannoma is a benign peripheral tumor. Here, we presented co-occurence of osteoma schwannoma. So far, infiltrated schwannoma region n...

Objective(s): Functional imaging presents a non-invasive process that may capture the hyper-metabolic nature of red bone marrow in myeloproliferative neoplasms, such as polycythemia vera (PV). Methods: This study analyzed the FDG-PET/CT scans (n=12) of six patients diagnosed with PV and six age-sex matched controls using a quantitative global analysis methodol...

Meningiomas are usually slow growing neoplasms that follow a benign clinical course. However, atypical and anaplastic meningiomas can show more aggressive behaviour have the potential to metastasise. The most common sites for metastases lung, spine, soft tissue, liver bone. Bone exceedingly rare. We report case of 70-year-old man with previous history recurrent meningioma (WHO grade III) pathol...
