Soft Tissue Tumors /Soft tissue sarcomas are cancerous (malignant) tumors that originate in the soft tissues of your body. This illustration shows a soft tissue sarcoma of the thigh muscle just above the knee. Soft tissue sarcoma is a rare type of cancer that begins in the tissues that connect, support, and surround other body … [Read more…]
Pleomorphic liposarcoma (PLS )is a rare and aggressive, fast-growing tumor and high-grade malignancy with high recurrence, poor prognosis, and its treatment is still highly controversial. A rare, fast-growing type of cancer that begins in fat cells. It usually forms in the deep soft tissues of the arms or legs, but it may also form in … [Read more…]
Myxoid liposarcoma (MLS) is a subtype of liposarcoma that represents a distinct pathological entity characterized morphologically by tumor cells within a myxoid stroma with a rich, branching thin-walled vasculature, and focal lipomatous differentiation. Myxoid liposarcoma is the second most common subtype (MLs). It accounts for 15–20% of liposarcomas and represents about 5% of all soft … [Read more…]
Liposarcoma is a malignant tumor of mesenchymal origin a significant tissue diversity tumor of lip blasts, rare mesenchymal neoplasm and involves deep soft tissues including retroperitoneum and popliteal fossa [rx]. It is cancer that arises in the fat cells in soft tissue, such as that inside the thigh or in the retroperitoneum portion of the body.[rx] … [Read more…]
Vertebral metastases represent the secondary involvement of the vertebral spine by hematogenously-disseminated metastatic cells. They must be included in any differential diagnosis of a spinal bone lesion in a patient older than 40 years. Metastases to the spine can involve the bone, epidural space, leptomeninges, and spinal cord. The spine is the third most common site … [Read more…]

Giant cell tumor is a relatively common, locally aggressive, potential behavior, capacity to metastasize and benign neoplasm that is associated with a large biological spectrum ranging from latent benign to highly recurrent and occasionally metastatic malignant potential [rx]. It is one of the most common benign bone tumors, occurring in young adults ages 20–40 years … [Read more…]
A spinal tumor is an abnormal mass of tissue within or surrounding the spinal cord and/or spinal column. These cells grow and multiply uncontrollably, seemingly unchecked by the mechanisms that control normal cells. Spinal tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Primary tumors originate in the spine or spinal cord, and metastatic or secondary tumors result from cancer spreading from another site to the spine. … [Read more…]
Cervical Cancer Surgery is a disease in which cells in the body grow out of control. Cancer is always named for the part of the body where it starts, even if it spreads to other body parts later. When cancer starts in the cervix, it is called cervical cancer. The cervix connects the vagina (birth canal) to … [Read more…]

When cancer starts in the cervix, it is called cervical cancer. The cervix connects the vagina (birth canal) … [Read more…]
Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women worldwide, and it has the fourth highest mortality rate among cancers in women.[rx] Most cases of cervical cancer are preventable by routine screening and by treatment of precancerous lesions. As a result, most of the cervical cancer cases are diagnosed in women who live in … [Read more…]
Adenomyosis is a uterine condition that is histologically characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrial glands and stroma within the myometrium, surrounded by hypertrophic and hyperplastic myometrial changes [rx]. For several decades, the diagnosis of adenomyosis was made in hysterectomy specimens either coincidentally, or in women treated surgically for chronic pelvic pain and/or abnormal uterine … [Read more…]
