Background: A solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a distinct mesenchymal neoplasm. It was originally described as a tumor localized to the pleura but was later reported in several other anatomic sites and exhibited a wide spectrum of histological features. Owing to its rarity, the diagnosis of extrapleural SFT is challenging and requires an integrated approach comprising specific clinical, imaging, histological, and immunohistochemical findings. Case presentation: Herein, we report the imaging findings of a rare case of SFT arising from bilateral ovaries confirmed by surgical excision and histological examination. No adjuvant radiotherapy or chemotherapy was given to the patient, and she was disease-free with no evidence of recurrence or metastasis at the 96-month postoperative follow-up. Although it mostly follows a favorable course, SFT is notoriously difficult for prognostication because of its propensity for late relapse or even metastases in 10–39% of cases. Conclusion: Close follow-up is recommended because of the limited information on its long-term behavior.

Abstract Medulloblastoma is one of the most common malignant brain tumors in children. Despite multi-disciplinary treatment for medulloblastoma, including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, which have resulted in significant improvement of the prognosis, about 30% of patients still experience recurrence. Most recurrences occur within the first 15 months from diagnosis and late relapse of the tumor is quite rare. We report a case of a 15-year-old female patient with recurrent medulloblastoma 9 years after the primary tumor. At the age of 6, this patient developed a posterior fossa tumor without metastasis and underwent near-total resection. The pathological diagnosis was medulloblastoma with focal desmoplasia. After the surgery, she received multi-agent chemotherapy and radiation therapy consisting of 18 Gy craniospinal irradiation and 51.2 Gy local irradiation. She was in complete remission for 9 years after the treatment. However, gait disturbance began to gradually appear, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed an intradural lesion in her thoracic spine. The lesion was biopsied, and the pathological findings confirmed the recurrence of medulloblastoma. Currently, we plan to administer local radiation therapy concomitantly with temozolomide to the patient. The case reminds us of the importance of long-term careful follow-up of patients with medulloblastoma. Further studies are warranted for the treatment of relapsed medulloblastomas due to the limited information available at present.

Fibrous Tumor

Abstract Background Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare soft tissue tumor originally reported in the pleura. Although it has been reported in various extra-pleural sites, the occurrence of SFT in the scrotum is extremely rare. Herein, we present a 48-year-old man who had scrotal SFT. There are very few reported cases of genitourinary SFTs, this is only the fifth report of SFT of the scrotum in the English medical literature. Case presentation In this study, we report on a 48-year-old man who presented with a 5 × 8 cm scrotal mass between his testes. Physical examination revealed a 4.7 × 8.5 cm lobulated tumor mass located between his testicles. Surgical excision of the tumor with scrotal approach was done and pathology reported a SFT. The patient was alive without tumor recurrence or distant metastasis during ongoing follow-up for 9 months post-operatively.. Conclusion Scrotal SFTs are very rare and only five cases have been reported in English literature to date. Treatment often involves surgical resection, and a definite diagnosis is made with the help of immunohistochemistry. The current general consensus for the management of SFTs is long-term follow-up after surgical excision of the tumor.

Objective: The goal of this manuscript was to review the existing literature in regards to esthetic options to restore pulpotomized primary molars. Study design: A pubmed literature search has been performed and all relevant studies were assessed. Results: Two laboratory, 3 restrospective and 4 prospective clinical studies were found, reviewed and analyzed. Conclusions: Based on the limited information available, we concluded that tooth colored and bonded restorations showed promising results as alternative materials to replace stainless steel crowns after pulpotomies in primary molars. Hybrid composites tend to perform better than compomers. Resin modified glass ionomer cements demonstrated excellent marginal seal and retention. More long-term follow up studies are necessary until more definitive recommendations can be made.

History Of

We report a rare case of an extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) in the frontal sinus with an indolent clinical presentation. Although a history of trauma was absent, the initial diagnosis was a mucocele, based on the radiological findings. Upon surgical excision, the patient was found to have an EMP. EMP, a form of solitary plasmacytoma, has a significantly high rate of conversion to multiple myeloma. This mandates long-term follow-up, even after successful radiotherapy and/or resection. While radiation therapy is generally considered a first line treatment for EMP, surgical intervention may provide optimal treatment in complicated cases. This case presentation highlights the prognosis of patients diagnosed with EMP.

Cardiac Metastases

Background: Cardiac metastases from thyroid cancers are uncommon with a poor prognosis. There is a lack of long-term follow-up studies. Cases: We report 2 cases of cardiac metastasis from medullary thyroid cancer (MTC). Both patients presented limited metastatic disease apart from a cardiac metastasis. The initial diagnosis was challenging and was facilitated by functional imaging with an immuno-PET-CT using an anti-CEA bispecific antibody and a 68Ga-labeled peptide. Both patients were treated with the multitarget kinase inhibitor vandetanib with prolonged stability. The first patient was alive at the last follow-up, 14 years after the diagnosis of cardiac metastasis. The second patient required surgical excision of the cardiac mass because of disease progression under vandetanib. Conclusion: These cases illustrate long-term survival and effectiveness of clinical management of 2 patients who developed cardiac metastases from MTC, in the current era of personalized medicine with targeted therapy.

Fibrous Tumor

Abstract Recurrent solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura with malignant progression occurs rarely. We report a case of solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura in an 85-year-old white woman that recurred 4 times during a span of 10 years and subsequently underwent malignant transformation. The accurate diagnosis of solitary fibrous tumor is aided by ancillary techniques, such as immunohistochemical staining; however, with malignant transformation, such tools may be of limited value. Long-term clinical follow-up is recommended for all patients with solitary fibrous tumor because of the potential adverse biological behavior of this tumor, which may lead to repeated recurrences and/or malignant transformation.

A 22 year old thoroughbred gelding was presented for evaluation and treatment of chronic dental disease. The horse had a history of quidding and abnormal bit behavior. Intraoral examination revealed signs of chronic generalized gingival inflammation and severe dental caries affecting the maxillary and mandibular incisor teeth. Treatment was provided on two separate visits over an interval of four months. The first visit consisted of the surgical extraction of three unrestorable incisor teeth and restoration of six carious maxillary incisor teeth. The second visit consisted of conventional endodontic therapy on the remaining mandibular incisor teeth and the surgical removal of a chronic suppurative osteomyelitic lesion. Immediate and long term improvements in eating habits were noted. Three month follow-up examinations following completion of treatment have shown the teeth to be in functional position, the restorations intact, and the surgical site well healed.
