A 10-year-old Beagle-type dog with intermittent vomiting and anorexia had an absolute polycythemic condition. A renal mass was detected and removed by total nephrectomy. After surgery, the hematologic values returned to normal, suggesting that the tumor was the cause of the polycythemia. The
A rare case of repeated intracerebral hematoma associated with an intracerebral fibrosarcoma is reported. A 43-year-old man was referred to our clinic with headache and vomiting of sudden onset. On admission, he was lethargic. CT revealed a huge intracerebral hematoma in the left temporal lobe with
Primary fibrosarcoma of the central nervous system (CNS) is an extremely rare tumor. To the best of our knowledge, only 40 cases have been reported in the literature. We document such a case in a 9-year-old child who presented with a short history of headache and vomiting. A mass was completely
Intracranial fibrosarcoma is an extremely rare neoplasm in the central nervous system. Insofar there were only sporadic case reports describing its features. The purpose of this study is to review the clinical and surgical features of cases who were treated in our OBJECTIVE
To describe the case of a primary cerebral fibrosarcoma in a child.
METHODS
A 6-year-old boy presented with a history of headache, drowsiness, vomiting and seizures. He was referred to our institution and died shortly upon arrival to the ER. The autopsy revealed a large left frontoparietal
OBJECTIVE
This phase I clinical trial was designed to determine the maximum-tolerated dose and dose-limiting toxicities of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitor COL-3 in patients with refractory solid tumors.
METHODS
Thirty-five patients with different cancer types were enrolled. COL-3 doses
Fifty-seven patients with advanced malignant tumours were treated with ifosfamide (Holoxan) and mesna (Uromitexan) in our department from November 1979 to December 1984. This series comprised eight cases of soft tissue sarcoma, nine cases of ovarian carcinoma, five cases of non-seminomatous
One hundred and forty adult patients with advanced sarcomas (125 soft tissue and 15 bone) were treated with a combination chemotherapy regimen consisting of cyclophosphamide, vincristine, Adriamycin, and DTIC (CYVADIC). There were 21 (15%) complete and 45 (32%) partial responders, with an overall
The case records of and histopathologic findings in 57 dogs with nonangiogenic and nonlymphomatous splenic sarcomas were reviewed. Splenic neoplasms in these dogs included leiomyosarcoma, fibrosarcoma, undifferentiated sarcoma, liposarcoma, osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, myxosarcoma,
Experience with high-dose cytosine arabinoside (HDAC) in pediatric solid tumors is limited. Sixteen children with solid tumors resistant to conventional therapies were registered in a pilot Pediatric Oncology Group (POG) study that required the administration of HDAC at 3 g/m2 every 12 hours for
Ifosfamide (IFOS) 5 g/m2 and its parent analog Cyclophosphamide (CYCLO) 1.5 g/m2 were studied in a randomized phase II study, accruing 171 patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma. Both drugs were administered as 24 hr infusions, every 3 weeks, with comcomitant Mesna 400 mg/m2 i.v. bolus 4 hourly
Desmoid tumours, also known as aggressive fibromatosis, are rare lesions with an intermediate biological behaviour between benign fibrous lesions and fibrosarcomas. Although abdominal desmoids have an increased incidence in Gardner's syndrome, they are rarely found in an isolated form. We report the
Dihydroxanthracenedione was given to 16 patients with solid tumors in a phase I clinical trial. The dose schedule used was a single daily dose for 3 consecutive days given every 3 weeks. The amount given ranged from 2 to 5 mg/m2/day. The dose-limiting toxic effect was moderate to severe leukopenia
Desmoid tumours, also known as aggressive fibromatoses, are rare lesions having intermediate biological behaviour between benign fibrous lesions and fibrosarcomas. Although abdominal desmoids have an increased incidence in Gardner's syndrome, they are rarely found in isolated form. We report a
Twenty-seven patients with advanced malignancies confined to the head and neck region were treated with intra-arterial (IA) cisplatin and 5-fluorodeoxyuridine (FUDR) using implantable pumps or injection ports. Tumor histologies were: 16 squamous cell, one mucoepidermoid, one adenocarcinoma, one
