The Achilles tendon is the strongest and largest tendon in the human body, composed of the distal confluence of the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles and may also include the plantaris longus tendons. Despite its tremendous strength, it is frequently injured. Soft tissue tumors or tumor-like conditions of Achilles tendon are much less common in comparison to traumatic and infectious/inflammatory lesions.

Tumors resembling tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT) but additionally forming chondroid matrix are rare and most often involve the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). We studied 21 tumors consisting of synoviocytes (large, eosinophilic mononuclear cells containing hemosiderin) and chondroid matrix to better understand these unusual neoplasms. The tumors occurred in 10 males and 11 females, in the age group of 31 to 80 years (median, 50 years) and involved the TMJ region (16), extremities (4), and spine (1).

Lethal giant larvae 1 (LGL1) is originally recognized as a tumor suppressor, implicated in maintaining cell polarity in Drosophila and mammalian cells. Cell polarity plays a crucial role in tumorigenesis. We previously established Pax2-LGL1 -/- conditional knockout mice but did not focus on the tumorigenesis in cerebellar primordium.

Hyperparathyroidism (HPT) is a condition in which one or more parathyroid glands produce increased levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH), causing disturbances in calcium homeostasis. Most commonly HPT presents with asymptomatic hypercalcemia but the clinical spectrum may include disturbances reflecting the combined effects of increased PTH secretion and hypercalcemia. Brown tumors are rare, benign, tumor-like bone lesions, occurring in 1.
