A naturally occurring cutaneous fibroma of deer has proven to be experimentally transmissible in deer. The causative agent is a virus that is readily alterable through Berkefeld N candles and that survives in fibroma tissue for at least as long as 27 months in glycerol-saline at -20 degrees C. The experimentally produced deer fibroma has an incubation period of about 7 weeks, a very slow rate o...

Case Description- An eight-year-old, light brown and crossbred stallion in a horse-racing club had two gray skin masses on his left thigh and thoracic inlet with a slow growth since two years ago. The masses were 5×7 cm in size, irregular shaped with some convex parts. Surface bleeding had been reported occasionally. CBC and WBC were within normal values. General clinical examination of the...

In September of 1952 an adult female Virginia white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) was brought to the laboratory for examination. She had been shot by a game warden in Somerset County, New Jersey, because she had been observed to have numerous masses scattered over her body, as shown in Fig. 1. These were especially plentiful over her head and neck and those about her eyes and over her ey...

Tumors were induced in adult and newborn rabbits by inoculation of fibroma virus. Whereas tumors completely regressed in adult rabbits by 3 weeks after virus inoculation, newborn rabbits supported tumor growth for 3 to 4 weeks. In the latter case, some animals died at this time, others survived with a gradual regression of the tumors over an additional period of 5 to 6 weeks. Virus neutralizati...

Fibroma of the tendon sheath is an uncommon soft tissue tumor presenting as a solitary, slow-growing, firm, painless, small nodule, which shows strong attachment to the tendon or tendon sheath. It is usually localized on fingers and hand tendons in adults between the age of 20 and 40 years old. This case concerns a 61-year-old man presenting with a 5-year history of multiple cutaneous nodules o...

We report a case of a 17-month-old child affected by Sturge-Weber syndrome who had unusually rapid overgrowth of the left frontal, temporal, orbital, and maxillary regions. CT angiography illustrated osteohypertrophy with periostitis and associated soft tissue hypertrophy directly corresponding to the distribution of the cutaneous port-wine stain. Extended maxillectomy was performed because of ...

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation is a safe and effective minimally invasive option for treating uterine fibromas, but it can cause complications such as abdominal wall defects. Reconstruction of defects be challenging, latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous free flap used to restore the integrity myofascial layer provide external cutaneous coverage. Herein, we present case report 37...

Over the 42 month period from January 2003 to June 2006, a total of 2,952 canine biopsy specimens were received from the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital of Seoul National University and from veterinary practitioners across the nation. Out of these, 748 (25.34%) cases were diagnosed as canine cutaneous tumors in the Department of Veterinary Pathology, College of Veterinary Medicine, Seoul N...
