Challenges and Outcomes of the First Stem Cell Transplant Program in Tanzania, East Africa.

Introduction: Due to the significant resources involved in creating HSCT programs there is a significant disparity in the availability of this treatment modality between the developed and developing countries. This manuscript details the process and the outcomes of the first HSCT program in East Africa which was started at Muhimbili National Hospital (MNH) in Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania.

Materials And Methods: Information and data were collected on the processes which had been implemented for starting the HSCT program at MNH.

Osteosarcoma of the lower limb metastasized to the septum and right side of the heart: a case report.

Background: Metastatic cardiac tumors are far more common than primary tumors. Although the hematogenous spread of osteosarcoma is well known, the imaging findings of cardiovascular involvement by osteosarcoma are seldom reported and can be difficult to recognize.

Case Presentation: A 21-year-old man of African descent presented to our center complaining of shortness of breath, awareness of heart beats, easy fatigability, swelling of lower limbs, and left-side chest discomfort for the past 6 months getting worse for the last 3 months prior to his third readmission.
