Rhabdomyosarcomas are the most common soft tissue sarcoma in adult and children that accompany with skeletal muscle differentiation. Skin metastasis of rhabdomyosarcomas is unusual and has only been sporadically reported in literature. In this paper we present a case of skin metastasis of rhabdomyosarcoma in an 8-year-old girl that has treated with chemotherapy.

Soft tissue metastasis from pancreatic cancer is a very rare entity. We reported a case presenting with multiorgan and soft tissue metastasis on computed tomography. Computed tomography scan showed a hypovascular mass in the pancreatic body and tail. Computed tomography guided biopsy from muscle metastases diagnosed an undifferentiated tumor. Based on clinical, radiological and pathological cor...

Introduction: Ursolic Acid (UA) is a lipophilic triterpenoid compound, found in large amounts in apple peel. Anabolic effects of UA on the skeletal muscle and the role of this tissue as a key regulator of systematic aging aroused this question in mind whether UA might amend skeletal muscle performances such as myoglobin expression and also whether it switches skeletal muscle fibers from glyc...

Common sites for metastatic spreading from breast cancer are bones, lungs and liver, the skeletal muscle being an unusual site. Although rare, when skeletal muscle metastases occur they are associated with a poor prognosis. These metastases are clinically difficult to diagnose since they can be found without pain symptoms. Radiologically, magnetic resonance imaging has been considered better th...

abstract gastric cancer is one of the most common and most fatal neoplasms in human. its skeletal metastasis is less frequent, particularly when solitary. the objective of this article is to represent a case of solitary fibular metastasis from this cancer not reported before based on medline search.

Introduction. Follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) frequently metastasizes to the lungs and bones. However, metastasis to the skeletal muscles is an extremely rare manifestation of FTC. To date, only seven cases of FTC have been reported in the literature. Skeletal muscle metastases from FTC usually remain asymptomatic or manifest as swelling and are associated with dismal prognosis. Case Present...

Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNET) are uncommon pancreatic neoplasms, accounting for 1-2% of all pancreatic tumors. However, they have a better prognosis and long-term survival compared to exocrine pancreatic cancer. PNETs can be divided into functional or non-functional based upon whether or not they excrete active substances relevant to specific clinical syndromes. Skeletal muscle metast...

Objective(s): Pregabalin (PGB) is a new antiepileptic drug that has received FDA approval for patient who suffers from central neuropathic pain, partial seizures, generalized anxiety disorder, fibromyalgia and sleep disorders. This study was undertaken to evaluate the possible adverse effects of PGB on the muscular system of mice. Materials and Methods: To evaluate the effect of PGB on skeletal...
