The aim of this study was to report our experience on the management of radiation-induced sarcomas (RISs). A retrospective study from 1994 to 2003 was done at our institution reviewing the medical records of 5 patients who had RISs. Five patients diagnosed of head and neck cancer received
METHODS
Case report.
OBJECTIVE
We report a rare case of postradiation sarcoma of the cervical spine 30 years after treatment for thyroid cancer.
BACKGROUND
The reported case is a 66-year-old man with a history of thyroid cancer treated with surgery and radiotherapy at the age of 36 years. He was
Extraskeletal Ewing's sarcoma (EES) is rarely found in the head and neck region. We report here a case of EES of the parapharyngeal space in a 53-year-old man who presented with blurred vision, dysphagia, hoarseness and right facial numbness. CT examination showed a large, seemingly well-defined
BACKGROUND
Primary spinal epidural extraskeletal Ewing's sarcoma (EES) is extremely rare, with a peak incidence in the second decade of life. EES in old people is challenging to treat due to the lack of specific guidelines. In this paper, I present a unique case of adult primary cervical epidural
Myeloid sarcoma is a solid, extramedullary tumor comprising of immature myeloid cells. It may occur in any organ; however, the invasion of peripheral nervous system is rare. Herein, we report the case of myeloid sarcoma on the brachial plexus. A 37-year-old woman with acute myelogenous leukemia
Myeloid sarcoma is a rare extramedullary malignant tumor, which is often accompanied by the development of systemic myeloid disease at various sites. The involvement of the central nervous system is uncommon and spinal cord compression is particularly rare. In November 2012, a 27-year-old male
The authors report the unusual case of a 35-year-old woman suffering from left leg numbness and radiculopathy due to multiple lesions in the central nervous system: one right parietal extracranial-intracranial lesion with invasion of the sensory cortex, and two intraspinal, intradural lesions
A previously healthy 34-year-old female presented with a 5-month history of progressive backache and weakness in the left fingers. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed soft tissue masses in the spinal canal distributed along the nerve course. The patient's baseline laboratory data were normal.
A 26-year-old nonleukemic woman presented with lumbosacral granulocytic sarcoma manifesting as progressive low back pain and numbness of her left lower leg persisting for 3 months. Physical examination revealed hypesthesia within the left S1 area of the sensory dermatome, decreased Achilles tendon
OBJECTIVE
Granulocytic sarcomas (chloromas) are tumors consisting of primitive myeloid cells. They are rare manifestations of acute and chronic leukemias and can occasionally precede the development of systemic disease by weeks to years. Spinal complications of chloromas, such as cord compression
We describe a case of primary pulmonary synovial sarcoma. A 19-year-old man presented with low-grade fever, dyspnea, chest pain and left arm numbness. Chest radiographs revealed a large, well-circumscribed left perihilar mass and a small ipsilateral pleural effusion. Chest computed tomography (CT)
Sarcomas of the mandible are extremely rare tumors, with osteosarcoma being the most common, followed by Ewing's sarcoma MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective review of the clinical records, imaging studies, and pathology slides of patients with sarcoma of the mandible at a Tertiary Tumors of the spinal cord and cauda equina show a wide spectrum of histology and require careful diagnosis and treatment. Primary intradural extramedullary Ewing sarcoma (IEES) is extremely rare, and initial imaging and clinical findings for this tumor mimic those of benign intradural spinal tumors.
Ewing sarcoma, a rare cause of cord compression, is predominantly of osseous origin but can also originate in soft tissues. Soft-tissue manifestations account for <15% of all Ewing sarcoma tumors, and even fewer cases of Ewing sarcoma originating in the epidural space have been Thirty cases of osteosarcoma of the jaws were reviewed (20 men and 10 women, mean age 34 years). Seventeen lesions occurred in the mandible and 13 in the maxilla. Swelling without pain was the most common presenting symptom. Thirteen lesions were initially misdiagnosed as odontogenic infections.
