We report the case of a 14 year old girl who presented with a non-metastatic Ewing's sarcoma involving her superior pubic ramus. She received 14 courses of alkylating agent-based chemotherapy and direct radiation to her hemi-pelvis (55 Gy) and is alive and disease-free 8 years later. Multiple

Atypical fibroxanthoma (AFX) and pleomorphic dermal sarcoma (PDS) tumors share many clinical, etiologic, and histologic features and likely represent components of a tumor spectrum. In dermatologic oncology, differentiating between AFX and PDS is pivotal as tumors with histological features

Studies on the possible association between exposures of parents at the time off conception and cancer in their offspring have provided no clear answer. In this large, population-based, record-linkage study, 1747 childhood cancer cases were identified in the Danish Cancer Registry and matched with

A rare case of an alveolar soft part sarcoma of the uterine cervix in an 8 year old girl is presented. The patient was admitted because of genital bleeding lasting for 7 months. A polypoid tumor, 2 x 1.5 cm in diameter, was found in her external uterine os and was surgically resected.

Histopathologic study of 20 cases of synovial sarcoma (S.S.) in children has been conducted to evaluate the usefulness of immunohistochemistry in the diagnostic assessment of this tumor. Two of the 6 antibodies studied have been found to be the most informative: staining for keratin and vimentin

The detection of the recently discovered Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpes virus (KSHV) in human immunodeficiency virus-uninfected donor semen and in blood from a normal blood donor has led us to review this new area of health concern, with emphasis on a number of studies conducted into the

The management of soft tissue sarcoma has evolved from a solitary surgical treatment to an interdisciplinary multimodal approach including radiotherapy. These fundamental changes are the result of increased knowledge in tumor biology, radiation sensitivity and the improvement in modern radiation

Pregnancy complicated by sarcoma is a rare event, and metastasis to the placenta is exceptionally rare. Of reported malignancies involving the products of conception, only 8% are sarcomas. We report the first case of placental metastasis of an epithelioid sarcoma, an uncommon malignancy which most

Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) follows a different clinical course in Mediterranean and immunodeficiency related cases and has a poorer prognosis in the latter. We investigated 40 patients with Mediterranean and eight with immunodeficiency related KS by histomorphology and immunohistology in comparision to

OBJECTIVE It has been suggested that parental occupation, particularly farming, increased the risk of Ewing's sarcoma in the offspring. In a national case-control study we examined the relationship between farm and other parental occupational exposures and the risk of cancer in the

Approximately 1 per 1,000-1,500 pregnancies is complicated by maternal malignancies. Metastatic involvement of the products of conception is a rare event. There have been 62 cases of placental and/or fetal metastatic involvement originating from maternal cancer reported since 1866. Only 14 cases of

Combination effect of antitumor agents, including cyclocytidine and cytosine arabinoside, was evaluated on the conception of pharmacological synergism and not of therapeutic synergism. Ascites sarcoma-180 and L-1210 leukemia were used as tumor systems. In sarcoma-180 system, combinations of

Endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) represents a very rare pathological entity occurring as a malignant disease in women genital sphere. Our clinical report is based on a group of four women aged 37, 48, 50 and 70-year-old, that have been histologically diagnosed with endometrial stromal sarcoma. The

BACKGROUND Although the clinical picture of endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) is variable, it was never reported to present as a postpartum hemorrhage. In addition, ESS is a tumor type of which, due to its rarity, little is known regarding chemosensitivity and genetic changes. METHODS A 28-year-old

Adult STU mice with tumors induced by a progressor Moloney sarcoma virus transformant developed serum antibodies against juxtanuclearly arranged structures (JNS). 14 days after tumor cell transplantation the antibody activity against JNS could be observed. During repeated tumor transfers anti-JNS
