Low-Grade Central Osteosarcoma of Ilium, A Case Report
Low-grade central osteosarcoma accounts for 1-2% of all osteosarcomas, and is usually found in long bones of extremities. To our best knowledge, low-grade central osteosarcoma of pelvic bone is unusually rare....
Determination of Asbestos Bodies in Autopsy Lung Fluid
The finding of asbestos bodies in lung fluid aspirates represents definite evidence of having prior exposure to asbestos, and having asbestos fibers entering the bronchial tree. After entering the lung, fibers undergo a coating process with ferritin protein to form asbestos bodies. The present study was carried out with the aim of determining...
Chondrosarcoma of distal phalanx with imaging study; a report of rare case with review of the literature
Chondrosarcoma of distal phalanx is extremely rare and to our best knowledge there was only one case having magnetic resonance ( MR ) imaging study. We report a case of 56-year-old woman developing chondrosarcoma of distal phalanx of the left ring finger. The radiographic and imaging studies highly suggested chondrosarcoma and amputation of distal...
Sclerosing Polycystic Adenosis of the Parotid Gland: Report of A Case with Multifocality
Sclerosing polycystic adenosis (SPA) is a rare tumor-like lesion of the salivary gland that bears a histomorphological resemblance to fibrocystic disease and sclerosing adenosis of the breast. The lesion is widely considered to be a pseudoneoplastic inflammatory process. However, foci of epithelial dysplasia and carcinoma in situ can occur in the...
Molecular diagnosis of synovial sarcoma: A comparative study with histologic correlation in Ramathibodi Hospital
Synovial sarcoma (SS) is a relatively common sarcoma of soft tissue arising in extremities of young adult, which is often diagnosed by histology and immunohistochemistry (IHC). Synovial sarcoma can be found in various locations and may cause diagnostic dilemma in tumors arising in unusual locations. In this study, we evaluated the application of...
Bursitis with pseudosarcomatous fibroblastic proliferation; a case report
Pseudosarcomatous fibroblastic proliferation (PSFP) is a quite common lesion found in various locations in- cluding soft tissue, bone and other organs and often raises a difficult differential diagnosis with malignancy. However, PSFP has not been described in tissue related to bursitis. We report a case of 31-year-old male who developed a cystic...
The effect of calcitonin upon the proliferation of giant cell tumor ; Preliminary of 9 cases
Giant cell tumor is one of the most common primary bone tumors in adult. Current therapy is still curettage and bone graft packing with adjuvant chemical and thermal cautery. However, the rate of recurrence is rather high ranging from 20 to 85 % and many attempts have been made to decrease this rate. Some inves- tigators showed that the cells of...
