INTRODUCTION Solitary fibrous tumors are rare soft tissue tumors of submesothelial origin and variable malignant potential. The most common localization is pleural, whereas only 0.6% are of extrapleural localization. Solitary fibrous tumor of the peritoneum, especially of gastric serosa is an extremely rare form of this tumor. CASE REPORT We presented a 65-year-old female patient with solitar...

We report a case of adamantinoma of the tibia resembling fibrous dysplasia. The patient was a 55-year-old male, and complained of pain in the right lower leg. Roentgenographs showed a well demarcated osteolytic lesion with small foci of calcification and septation within the diaphysis of the distal tibia. The cortex was partially disrupted. Histologically, initial biopsy specimen showed fibrous...

Cartilage defects that penetrate the subchondral bone can undergo spontaneous repair through the formation of a fibrous or cartilaginous tissue mediated primarily by mesenchymal stem cells from the bone marrow. This tissue is biomechanically inferior to normal articular cartilage, and is often observed to degrade over time. The factors that control the type and quality of the repair tissue, and...

The role of heart disease in increasing worldwide death and the limited availability of organs for transplantation have encouraged multiple strategies to fabricate functional and implantable constructs. One of these strategies is to develop a biologically similar heart tissue scaffold, in which two types of fiber and hydrogel are commonly used. Toward this goal, taking advantage of both hydroge...

in riedel’s thyroiditis, a rare chronic inflammatory disease of thyroid gland, fine needle aspiration is usually non-diagnostic because most often only follicular cells are obtained and not the fibrous material characteristic of this type of thyroiditis. therefore the diagnosis is often only established by histopathologic study of the surgically obtained biopsy. the illustrated case is a 46-yea...

The histopathological appearances of seven coronary arteries obtained from four patients after repeated percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty were analysed. A complex picture was found; typically there were ruptured atherosclerotic plaques, plaque dissection, and a fibrous tissue response. The histopathological appearance of older and more recent fibrous lesions was different. Older le...

Introduction: Fibrous Dysplasia is a rare bone disease wherein the normal bone is replaced by fibrous tissue causing functional and aesthetic problems. They pose difficulty in diagnosis, treatment planning. Case Report: We are presenting 2 cases of Fibrous Dysplasia wherein the treatment done was resection of body of mandible with reconstruction with iliac graft in the first case and a shave do...

Intracranial solitary fibrous tumors are rare, and intraventricular fibrous tumors are even more unusual. We report a case of solitary fibrous tumor in the region of trigone and body of the left lateral ventricle and discuss the clinical presentation, CT characteristics, and histopathologic features with 1-year follow-up. We speculate that the tumor arose from the perivascular connective tissue...

abstract bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation (bpop), also known as nora's lesion is a rare osteocartilaginous lesion composed of a disorganized mixture of cartilage, bone, and fibrous tissue. in this article we report a case of bpop arising on the proximal and middle phalanx of ring finger in a 31 year-old woman. the clinical, radiographic, mr imaging and histopathologic findings...
