solitary fibrous tumors (sfts) are rare primary pleural neoplasms which have recently been reported in extra-thoracic sites. in this report, solitary fibrous tumor arising in an intra-thoracic goiter with no evidence of cervical mass in a 74-year-old obese man who was found to have a large superior mediastinal mass with tracheal deviation on chest x-ray is presented.

malignant fibrous histiocytoma (mfh) is the most common soft-tissue sarcoma which predominantly surfaces in the retro-peritoneum and extremity. mfh of lung is a very rare condition. the diagnosis is essentially through histologic examination. however, the invasion of the chest wall or other organs might help establish the malignant nature.we report a case of a 77-year-old man who had been prese...

background: solitary fibrous tumor (sft) is a mesenchymal tumor which is most commonly seen in the pleura; however it can be seen in other organs such as the meninge, gastrointestinal tract, soft tissue, bone, and skin. sft should be differentiated from other mesenchymal tumors in these organs. immunohistochemistry plays a pivotal role for the histopathologic diagnosis of this tumor. currently,...

Objective: To analyse the clinical characteristics and imaging findings of maxillofacial fibrous dysplasia and the relationship between serum alkaline phosphatase and its clinical relative factors. Method: The clinical materials of 72 fibrous dysplasia patients were reviewed and the alkaline phosphatase among monostotic fibrous dysplasia, polyostotic fibrous dysplasia and non-fibrous dysplasia ...

OBJECTIVE Nutrition has long been considered one of the most important environmental factors affecting human intelligence. Although carbohydrates are the most widely studied nutrient for their possible effects on cognition, limited data are available linking usual refined carbohydrate intake and intelligence. The present study was conducted to examine the relationship between long-term refined ...

Study of permeability of Fibrous Composites is important in several natural and industrial processes in mechanical engineering. In this study, a comprehensive mathematical model is presented for calculation of normal permeability of ordered elliptical fibrous media. An innovative scale-analysis technique is employed for determining the normal permeability of elliptical fibrous media. In this te...

Introdouction: Fibrous dysplasia is a benign fibro-osseous lesion that affects craniofacial bones including the maxilla and mandible. In the most cases of fibrous dysplasia of facial bones, radiographic findings represent lucent or mixed radiolucent-radiopaque lesion with ill-defined borders and gradual blending of its border with adjacent bone . In this presentation, a patient suffering ...
