A pictorial review of osseous and cartilaginous soft tissue tumours.

Osseous and cartilaginous soft tissue tumours are a heterogenous group of neoplasms characterised by the presence of an osseous or cartilaginous component. Mineralisation of the osseous or cartilaginous component is a common finding amongst these lesions, presenting as calcification/ossification on radiological imaging. This pictorial review examines the key imaging findings and characteristics of osseous and cartilaginous soft tissue tumours with a focus on the distinguishing features which can help the radiologist to differentiate benign and malignant lesions.

Angioleiomyomas of the Extremities and Trunk: An Observational Study.

Rationale And Objectives: Angioleiomyomas are benign perivascular tumors that originate from the tunica media of blood vessels. While frequently described in the head, neck, and uterus, angioleiomyomas can manifest in various regions throughout the body. The purpose of this study was to review the history and imaging features of angioleiomyomas of the trunk and extremities.

Scapulothoracic Disorders: Anatomy, Kinematics, Clinical Assessment, and Multimodality Imaging.

Shoulder and neck concerns are prevalent musculoskeletal issues prompting medical attention, often stemming from scapulothoracic disorders that can serve as both the cause and consequence of other shoulder abnormalities. Scapular dyskinesis, fractures, benign and malignant masses, and neuropathies are frequently overlooked yet can substantially affect shoulder pain and function, particularly in athletes. Scapulothoracic disorders may lead to and/or be worsened by common shoulder abnormalities including those of the rotator cuff, neighboring bursae, and the glenohumeral articulation and labrum.

Myopericytoma of the hand.

Myopericytoma is a rare benign smooth-muscle cell neoplasm of the subcutaneous soft tissues that is primarily found in young adults with a male predominance. We present the clinical, radiologic, and histopathologic features of a longstanding myopericytoma of the hand. We emphasize the features that help the radiologist and pathologist to accurately characterize this entity.

Pediatric soft tissue tumors.

The initial approach to soft tissue tumors in children and teenagers is everyone's responsibility. While the vast majority is benign, all practitioners dread missing a malignant lesion. The first step involves taking the patient's history and performing a clinical examination.

Imaging findings in a case of primary intraosseous carcinoma arising from a mandibular cyst.

Primary intraosseous carcinoma not otherwise specified (PIOC NOS) is a rare tumor assumed to arise from the epithelium, such as odontogenic cysts or benign tumors. Its clinical and imaging diagnoses are often challenging, especially in the early stages, as it mimics jaw cysts and benign tumors, and no specific findings have been identified. This report presents the case of a 66-year-old male patient with mandibular PIOC, highlighting the imaging findings over time.

Atypical cellular neurothekeoma: a case report with a novel NF1 mutation.

Atypical cellular neurothekeoma is a rare benign soft-tissue tumour that usually arises in the head and neck region, shoulder girdles, and proximal extremities, predominantly in young women. This dermal neoplasm is under-reported in the literature and is not uncommonly misdiagnosed as a malignant tumour due to its worrisome histologic characteristics. Currently, the diagnosis of cellular neurothekeoma relies on a panel of non-specific immunohistochemical markers and its etiopathogenesis is unknown.

Giant Angiomyofibroblastoma With a Florid Lipomatous Component: A Report and Review of Diagnostic Considerations.

Angiomyofibroblastoma is a benign, usually small neoplasm typically constituted by spindle-shaped and epithelioid cells in a vascularized, myxoid-fibrous stromal background. It is most often seen in the superficial genitalia of female patients of reproductive age. However, various clinical and histologic features have been reported, including tumors in male patients, malignant transformation, extragenital sites, huge sizes, and a prominent lipomatous pattern.

Cervical Ganglio-neuroma, a Rare Neck Mass in Pediatric Age: A Case Report.

Ganglioneuromas (GN) are benign, slow-growing, non-invasive, and well differentiated neoplasms of neuroblastic origin. We reported a 4 year old girl who presented with a left lateral slow growing cervical neck mass. After surgical excision the tumour was sent for histopathological examination which confirmed ganglioneuroma.
