chondrosarcoma/edema

Soft tissue tumors arising in deep veins of the extremities are uncommon, although a few cases of synovial sarcoma or leiomyosarcoma arising in the femoral vein have been documented. However, to the best of our knowledge, an extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma (EMC) arising in the femoral vein has

The case of a twenty-year-old male with orbital chondrosarcoma is reported. He visited National Defense Medical College Hospital because of reduced vision in the right eye since two months previously. His corrected visual acuity was 8/20 in the right eye and 20/20 in the left eye. Fifteen degrees

The iliac vein is an extremely rare site for mesenchymal chondrosarcoma, and patients with primary extraskeletal mesenchymal chondrosarcoma arising from a vein always suffer a very poor prognosis. We report a case of a 45-year-old female who presented with a 5-month history of left leg edema in

We report the case of a 56-year-old black woman with a locally aggressive chondrosarcoma at an unusual tumor site: the right arytenoid cartilage. The tumor extended from the superior pole of the right arytenoid cartilage to the soft-tissue areas of the right aryepiglottic fold, piriform sinus, and

BACKGROUND Intracranial nonskull-based chondrosarcoma is a very rare malignant tumor. In fact, it is difficult to diagnose because of its atypical radiologic and morphologic features. We report a case of an intracranial parasagittal chondrosarcoma in the left parietal lobe accompanied with

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging features of para-acetabular chondrosarcoma (CS) and assess the difference between low-grade CS (LGCS) and high-grade CS (HGCS). METHODS Thirty-one patients with histopathologically confirmed central

We present a case of primary mesenchymal chondrosarcoma of the proximal phalanx of the first toe. The bones of the foot represent an infrequent primary site for this neoplasm. The tumour consisted of layers of undifferentiated round cells with scanty cytoplasm and hyperchromatic nuclei. The presence

BACKGROUND Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma (EMC) is a rare malignant neoplasm of which intracranial EMC is the rarest. UNASSIGNED We present an unusual case report of a 41-year-old woman who was sent to the emergency department for a sudden headache and other symptoms related to increased

OBJECTIVE To review the imaging features of chondrosarcomas (CS) of the hands and feet, with pathologic correlation. METHODS For 24 histologically-confirmed CS of the hands (n=14) and feet (n=10), 23 studies were retrospectively reviewed by two musculoskeletal radiologists in consensus. Radiographs

BACKGROUND Primary intracranial chondrosarcoma is an extremely rare malignant tumor of the central nervous system, which accounts for <0.16% of all primary intracranial tumors. This rare tumor has a high associated morbidity from the tumor itself as well as from treatment modalities. METHODS A

BACKGROUND Several reports have shown peritumoral edema accompanying primary bone tumors demonstrated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, the mechanism of this inflammatory reaction is still unclear. The authors postulated that the reaction was caused by some chemical mediators including

OBJECTIVE To analyze and compare the radiological and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) appearances of chondroblastoma and clear cell chondrosarcoma with histopathological correlation. METHODS Twelve patients with histologically proven chondroblastoma and of another four patients with clear cell

OBJECTIVE To describe the radiographic features of clear cell chondrosarcoma (CCCS), including the computed tomographic (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) findings, and to correlate them with the histopathologic findings. METHODS A retrospective review was carried out of 72 patients with

OBJECTIVE In this case report, delayed facial palsy developed in a patient without any direct manipulation of the main part of the facial nerve during an anterior petrosal approach. We discuss putative etiologies and management techniques that may help avoid this problem. METHODS A 21-year-old woman

Adult hip pathologies are mainly represented by the degenerative disease, so called "osteoarthrosis, or more precisely coxarthrosis". The means of imaging are exposed, according to their specific value: X Rays (measurement of the characteristic angles of the adult hip), Arthrography, CT Scanner,
