Background: Desmoid tumors can cause morbidity due to local invasion, potentially being fatal when fast growth compromises vital structures. In this context, a timely treatment response is required. This study aims to compare the activity of sorafenib and anthracycline-containing regimens during the first year of treatment.

- Limb salvage surgeries using endoprostheses and allografts are common for treating various cancers, but these procedures can fail for several reasons, which fall into mechanical, non-mechanical, and pediatric categories.
- The text emphasizes the need for clearer classification and understanding of failure modes in orthopedic oncologic surgeries to improve radiologists' ability to identify complications.
- The review aims to showcase key radiologic findings related to each failure type, discussing their risk factors, outcomes, and implications for treatment decisions like chemotherapy and revision surgery.
Case: This case report describes a patient who presented with clinical and radiographic features of a soft tissue sarcoma of the shoulder. Despite having a painless and relatively large mass, a biopsy and resection revealed nodular fasciitis (NF).
Conclusion: This is an unusual case of a painless 10 cm mass that histopathologically was diagnosed as NF in the upper extremity with proximity to the axillary nerve and posterior humeral circumflex vessels.
Article Synopsis
- Current terminology for MRI findings related to musculoskeletal infections is vague and inconsistent, prompting the need for a new classification system.
- The study developed the Musculoskeletal Infection Reporting and Data System (MSKI-RADS) to provide a structured scoring method for assessing extremity infections in adult patients based on MRI scans obtained between June 2015 and May 2019.
- Results showed that MSKI-RADS improved diagnostic accuracy among radiologists, achieving a 65% accuracy rate compared to 55% for traditional diagnoses, establishing it as a reliable tool for standardized communication in identifying and managing these infections.
Multidisciplinary tumor boards (MTBs) facilitate decision-making among subspecialists in the care of oncology patients, but the mechanisms by which they enhance outcomes remain incompletely understood. Our aim was to measure the agreement between sarcoma MTBs and radiology reports' disease assessment and management recommendations. This single-center IRB-approved retrospective study evaluated cases presented at a weekly sarcoma MTB from 1 August 2020 to 31 July 2021.
