Desmoplastic fibroblastoma (DFB) is an uncommon, benign, soft tissue tumor. The tumor most often presents as a slowly growing, painless soft tissue mass and is usually small. There have been only a few reports of patients with DFB who presented with bone invasion. Herein, we report the case of a 66-year-old woman with DFB with bone invasion in her left axilla. A lump under the left axilla was detected and was associated with pain and limited range of motion (ROM) of the shoulder. Computed tomography showed a soft tissue mass with invasion of the adjacent left humerus. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a lesion with low signal intensity on T1- and T2-weighted images, and weak internal enhancement on postcontrast T1-weighted images with fat suppression. Histologic evaluation of a preoperative needle biopsy revealed DFB with FOSL1 expression. The tumor was marginally excised. Postoperative outpatient follow-up demonstrated a significant improvement in pain and ROM of the shoulder and no recurrence after 1 year. Even though DFB with bone invasion can cause pronounced clinical symptoms with pain and limited ROM, we conclude that simple excision is an adequate treatment.

Measurements of crown-heel length, head circumference, and birth weight were made on a large number of newborn infants. Birth weight by itself was frequently not a valid measure of fetal growth impairment. By including measurements of body length and head size along with birth weight, four distinct patterns of fetal growth impairment were identified. The four patterns included infants who had abnormally short body lengths for dates, infants who had evidence of disproportionate growth between body length and head circumference, infants who accumulated excessive amounts of soft-tissue mass, and infants who accumulated too little soft-tissue mass. Criteria for diagnosing each pattern were obtained prospectively and have been presented with allowances made for the effects of race, sex, fetal age, and parity on each pattern. The separate identification of the four patterns provided a more precise description of fetal growth impairment than could be obtained from birth weight and calculated gestational age.

AbstractIntracranial meningiomas without dural attachment are rare and posterior cranial fossa meningiomas without dural attachment are rarer. Such meningiomas are thought to arise from arachnoid cap cells in pial membrane, tela choroidea, or choroid plexus. MRI is the best imaging modality for the diagnosis of meningiomas and typically shows an enhancing, dural based, extra-axial soft tissue mass with a characteristic dural tail. Meningioma without dural attachment should be suspected if the MRI shows a space-occupying lesion having features of a meningioma but without a dural base and dural tail. We report a case of meningioma in the lateral cerebellomedullary cistern without dural attachment.

Soft tissue masses are amongst the commonest complaints encountered in orthopedic practice. Of these, masses found in the hand and the wrist are presented at higher frequency. They are often painful and may cause limitation of movement. This work describes the prevalence and the nature of soft tissue masses in the hand and wrist encountered in routine practice. This work was performed to assess the characteristics of soft tissue mass in the hand and the effectiveness of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of soft tissue masses and their differentiation from other lesions in the hand and wrist. Orthopedic surgical conditions that involve soft tissue in the hand and wrist may remain a diagnostic challenge when clinical diagnosis is uncertain and standard X-rays are non-diagnostic. High resolution ultrasound is widely available, non-invasive, without damage of radiation, imaging modality that can help the diagnosis. We reviewed retrospectively 25 patients with soft tissue masses. We compared the ultrasound findings with the histological findings in seven operated patients. A substantial majority of these lesions occurred in the right hand: 79% of the lesions were in the dorsal aspect of the hand, of which 37% were distal to the wrist joint, among them 42% at wrist either radial or ulnar; and 21% of the lesions were found in the volar aspect, among them 17% at wrist aspect, either radial or ulnar side. No predisposing factors could be found. The findings of this study reaffirm the utility of ultrasonography as primary diagnostic tool in routine orthopedic practice.
