Granular cell tumor is a rare benign neoplasm most commonly appears in the head and neck region, especially in the tongue, cheek mucosa, and palate. Occurrence in limbs is even rarer. These tumors account for approximately 0.5% of all soft tissue tumors. Granular cell tumor can also affect other organs including skin, breast, and lungs. Local recurrence and metastasis is potentially higher in m...

primary malignant neoplasms of the pericardium are rare and are predominantly mesotheliomas, followed by benign localized fibrous mesothelioma, malignant fibrosarcoma, angiosarcoma and benign and malignant teratomas. 1 this article concerns an atypical presentation of this malignant tumor with symptoms and signs of pericardial effusion. this unusual feature was complete encasement of the heart ...

Introduction: Most common glioma tumors are tumors of the central nervous system (CNS) which are the cause of about 40 to 50 percent of brain tumors. This type of cancer includes 2 to 3 percent of cancers in the world. Conventional MRI is powerless in the detection and differentiation of benign and malignant tumors. In this case, diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) can create cont...

odontogenic tumors constitute a group of heterogeneous lesions of benign and malignant neoplasms with variable aggressiveness. ameloblastomas are a group of benign but locally invasive neoplasms that occur in the jaws and are derived from epithelial elements of the tooth-forming apparatus. we previously described orosomucoid-1 protein expression in odontogenic myxomas. however, whether orosomuc...

Background: The present investigation compared the decrease in the volume of benign tumor before and after High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) treatment to evaluate the therapeutic effects of HIFU. in terms of Lifestyle and obstetric characteristics of in patients with Benign Uterine Tumors. Materials and Methods: To collect the data on each patients’ lifestyle and obstetric characteristic...

background and aims. although salivary gland tumors are not very common, early diagnosis and treatment is crucial because of their proximity to vital organs, and therefore, determining the efficacy of new imaging procedures becomes important. this study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of magnetic resonance imaging (mri) and color doppler ultrasonography parameters in the diagnosis and differenti...
