Angiosarcoma (AS) is a rare non-epithelial malignant neoplasm arising from neoplastic vascular degeneration of endothelial cells. It usually occurs in soft tissue and skin. The incidence, according to American authors, is 1% of all soft tissue sarcomas. About 50% of AS is localized in head and neck region (scalp and face skin) and represents less than 1% of all malignancies of this district; the primitive intra- oral localization is rare, even rarer intraosseous development of AS in jaw bones. The Authors report a case of a mandibular intraosseus angiosarcoma with different peculiarities: the rarity of the location and mode of occurrence; in addition they have focused on clinical-histopathological and immunohistochemical charateristics.

Aim: Self-inflicted oral-dental mutilations (SIODMs) are the result of an intentional or unintentional action that leads to anatomical and functional damage to the soft and hard tissues of the oral cavity. In paediatric patients they can be associated with both organic and functional diseases. A systematic review was conducted aiming to consolidate and integrate the existing knowledge on SIODM in paediatric patients.

Omadacycline is a novel antimicrobial belonging to the tetracycline class. It has the ability to evade both efflux and ribosomal methylation types of resistance and therefore has an expanded spectrum compared to other tetracycline agents. Omadacycline is active against a number of multidrug-resistant bacteria, including macrolide and doxycycline-resistant methicillin-resistant (MRSA), vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus, and several enteric gram-negative bacilli.

Background: Therapies for cartilage restoration are of great interest, but current options provide limited results. In salamanders, interzone (IZN) tissue can regenerate large joint lesions. The mammalian homolog to this tissue exists during fetal development and exhibits remarkable chondrogenesis in vitro.

Introduction: Soft-tissue sarcomas arising in the thigh may require total or subtotal compartmentectomy, with subsequent need for functional reconstruction with free functional muscle transfer (FFMT). We present our series, describing a new approach with chimeric propeller antero-lateral thigh-vastus lateralis (ALT-VL) free flap, which allows for independent muscle inset and soft tissue defect resurfacing.
Patient And Methods: A retrospective review of a prospectively maintained database was performed, analyzing all patients referred to Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Campus Bio-Medico, Rome, Italy, between 2018 and 2023 for soft-tissue sarcomas of the thigh requiring wide excision and reconstruction with functional ALT-VL.

A wide variety of degenerative, inflammatory and infective arthropathies with overlapping clinical features can involve the knee joint. Due to its excellent soft tissue contrast resolution and multiplanar capability, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a significant role in early and accurate diagnosis of various arthropathies. In this article, we have provided a brief review of MRI features of various arthropathies involving the knee joint.
