Osteoblastoma is a rare solitary osteoblastic bone neoplasm. It is characterized by proliferation of osteoblasts forming trabeculae within a vascular fibrous stroma. There is a variety of jaw bone lesions with very close clinical, radiological and microscopic interrelations, which make diagnosis more challenging. Familiarity with these rare bony lesions is vital for oral pathologists. This repo...

Vascular anomalies are lesions seen in all surgical disciplines, particularly in pediatric patients. Specialization in vascular anomalies involves a team effort, with the team consisting of plastic surgeons, general surgeons, neurosurgeons, pediatricians, interventional radiologists, dermatologists, ophthalmologists, otolaryngologists, hematologists, and pathologists. Inconsistent nomenclature ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We sought to evaluate demographic features, risk factors, clinical profiles, and behavioral abnormalities in patients with caudate lesion, either with infarct or with hemorrhage involving the caudate nucleus. METHODS We studied all patients with acute caudate stroke confirmed by CT or MRI who were admitted to our stroke unit over a 5-year period. A database containing r...

Human atheromata obtained in vivo were used to test the hypothesis that transforming growth factor-(31 plays a role in the development of vascular restenosis. We analyzed 28 specimens from patients with primary atherosclerotic or restenotic lesions; 26 of these were obtained by directional atherectomy and 2 at the time of coronary bypass surgery. Seven control tissues included operatively excis...

Among the renal lesions described, cell carcinoma (RCC) is primary neoplastic tumor reaching males in a proportion two times higher than females and characterizing about 2% of carcinomas adult population. Although treatment this type cancer has evolved recent years, management patients with metastatic conditions remains challenging, possible spreads to lungs bones. Vascular metastasis RCC skin,...

Vascular malformations or even hemangiomas need therapeutic intervention if they start to cause clinical symptoms or personal discomfort. Different therapeutic modalities, including cryotherapy, corticosteroids, laser therapy, sclerotherapy, surgery, and/or embolization, can be performed successfully. Sclerotherapy with monoethanolamine is a relatively simple and effective method to treat low f...

Background. Calcified thrombi are a common finding, especially in the pelvic veins. There are generally multiple thrombi, and they are generally associated with vascular malformations. Design. Herein we report a rare case of a single labial phlebolith, not associated with any other vascular lesion. We aim to alert clinicians to the possibility of the occurrence of vascular thrombi in the mouth ...
