Objectives: A 36-year-old Asian man was referred to our hospital with cardiac metastasis. He had a history of alveolar soft part sarcoma and initially underwent resection in 2005. Methods: After exposing the tumor by thoracotomy, cryoablation was performed under ultrasound guidance. This treatment was combined with iodine-125 seed implantation to treat the cardiac metastasis. Results: The patient had an uneventful recovery, and his cardiac function shows no obvious abnormalities. Imaging techniques suggest that cardiac metastasis was well controlled, and the patient is still alive 12 months after treatment. Conclusions: Tumor cryoablation, combined with iodine seed implantations, may be regarded as a means of palliative treatment.

Alveolar soft part sarcoma is a very uncommon soft tissue malignancy which accounts for <1% of soft tissue sarcoma. It is a malignant and highly vascular tumor arising most commonly in the musculature of the lower extremities, with metastasis primarily to the lungs, bones, and brain. Cardiac metastasis is very rare and only 5 cases have been reported in the literature so far. We report a case of a young woman with a history of surgically resected alveolar soft part sarcoma of left thigh who presented with persistent dry cough and was found to have a cardiac mass, which on biopsy proved to be alveolar soft part sarcoma.

Alveolar soft-part sarcoma (ASPS) is an extremely rare connective tissue tumor, predominantly seen in adolescents and young adults, with a female preponderance. Alveolar soft-part sarcoma (ASPS) is a slow growing tumor, but with high likelihood of metastasis, leading to high mortality. A classical histopathological feature of an alveolar pattern from the biopsy of the lesion favors the diagnosis. We report a case of 14 years old male patient who presented with a history of single painless swelling over thigh for which surgical excision was done. Histopathology was suggestive of Alveolar soft-part sarcoma (ASPS). There was no evidence of distant metastases. He was treated with external beam radiotherapy in view of vascular invasion.

A report of alveolar soft part sarcoma metastatic to the small bowel is presented. Hematogenous metastases to the small bowel from primary tumors outside the abdominal cavity are uncommon, and most remain asymptomatic and are not discovered until autopsy. However, small bowel metastases can lead to intestinal obstruction, intussuseption or even perforation. While metastases to the small bowel have been described for other tumor types, including melanoma and lung cancer, this is extremely uncommon for sarcoma, especially alveolar soft part sarcoma. We describe a 42-year-old male with a long history of alveolar soft part sarcoma, metastatic to the lung and brain, who developed an intussuseption from metastases to the small bowel.

AbstractA new instrument to quantify firebrand dynamics during fires with particular focus on those associated with the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) has been developed. During WUI fires, firebrands can ignite spot fires, which can rapidly increase the rate of spread (ROS) of the fire, provide a mechanism by which the fire can pass over firebreaks and are the leading cause of structure ignitions. Despite this key role in driving wildfire dynamics and hazards, difficulties in collecting firebrands in the field and preserving their physical condition (e.g. dimensions and temperature) have limited the development of knowledge of firebrand dynamics. In this work we present a new, field-deployable diagnostic tool, an emberometer, designed to provide measurement of firebrand fluxes and information on both the geometry and the thermal conditions of firebrands immediately before deposition by combining a visual and infrared camera. A series of laboratory experiments were conducted to calibrate and validate the developed imaging techniques. The emberometer was then deployed in the field to explore firebrand fluxes and particle conditions for a range of fire intensities in natural pine forest environments. In addition to firebrand particle characterization, field observations with the emberometer enabled detailed time history of deposition (i.e. firebrand flux) relative to concurrent in situ fire behaviour observations. We highlight that deposition was characterised by intense, short duration “showers” that can be reasonably associated to spikes in the average fire line intensity. The results presented illustrate the potential use of an emberometer in studying firebrand and spot fire dynamics.
