Intracranial Solitary Fibrous Tumour Management: A French Multicentre Retrospective Study.

Background: Intracranial solitary fibrous tumour (iSFT) is an exceptional mesenchymal tumour with high recurrence rates. We aimed to analyse the clinical outcomes of newly diagnosed and recurrent iSFTs.

Methods: We carried out a French retrospective multicentre ( = 16) study of histologically proven iSFT cases.

[Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma of the spine: A case report].

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is a rare vascular tumour, with features between hemangiomas and angiosarcomas. Evolution remains mainly local but may also metastasize. Here, we report a case of a patient with a spinal epithelioid hemangioendothelioma.

Secondary metabolites from Eryngium species.

From the seed and leaf extracts of Eryngium species, two new compounds were isolated, along with an aliphatic ketone and several known terpenoids reported from a member of Umbelliferae for the first time. Their structures were elucidated by chemical methods and spectroscopic analysis.

A new irregular diterpenoid from Opopanax chironium.

The ethereal extract of the roots of Opopanax chironium yielded peucelinenoxide acetate (1), a new natural product with an irregular diterpene skeleton, besides the known coumarins gaudichaudin, columbianadin, peucedanin and officinalin isobutyrate.
