Epidermoid Cyst of the Maxillary Sinus: A Case Report and Literature Review
We describe a rare case of an epidermoid cyst arising in the right maxillary sinus. A 29-year-old man with a known diagnosis of Marfan syndrome presented with progressive swelling and tenderness in the right buccal region, mimicking facial cellulitis, and refractory to medical treatment. Computed tomography scan showed a cystic lesion extending widely into the right maxillary sinus. The cyst was successfully removed with a medial maxillectomy through inferior antrostomy approach under general anesthesia. Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of an epidermoid cyst, showing a cystic wall lined with a thin layer of...

Idiopathic gingival fibromatosis and primary analysis of dominant bacteria in subgingival biofilm: a case report
J Int Med Res. 2024 Apr;52(4):3000605241245302. doi: 10.1177/03000605241245302.ABSTRACTIdiopathic gingival fibromatosis (IGF), a rare fibroproliferative disease of unknown etiology, affects gingival tissue and has substantial adverse effects on patients. Therefore, the pathogenesis of IGF requires more extensive and in-depth research. In this case, a patient with confirmed IGF underwent initial nonsurgical periodontal therapy and gingivectomy, and the prognosis was good. The patient had no loss of periodontal attachment but had a history of swelling and bleeding of the gingiva prior to fibrous enlargement, which prompted f...

Update on Percutaneous Ablation for Sarcoma
AbstractPurpose of ReviewTo provide an update on the current state of percutaneous thermal ablation in the treatment of sarcoma.Recent FindingsData continue to accrue in support of ablation for local control and palliation of specific sarcoma subtypes such as extra-abdominal desmoid fibromatosis and for broader indications such as the treatment of oligometastatic disease. The synergistic possibilities of various combination therapies such as cryoablation and immunotherapy represent intriguing areas of active investigation. Histotripsy is an emerging non-invasive, non-thermal ablative modality that may further expand the th...

Annotating the Role of < sup > 18 < /sup > F-FDG PET/CT in Fibromatoses: A Benign Masquerader of Malignancies-Is It Really an Advantageous Tool?
Nucl Med Mol Imaging. 2024 May;58(3):140-146. doi: 10.1007/s13139-024-00846-5. Epub 2024 Feb 14.ABSTRACTFibromatoses are a heterogeneous group of benign proliferating fibroblasts and myofibroblasts which have a high predilection for recurrence and local invasion, especially deep fibromatoses or desmoid fibromatosis. 18F-FDG PET/CT, the workhorse of oncological imaging in nuclear medicine, can be employed to figure out the nature and aggressiveness of the lesions and various sites of involvement and to monitor treatment response to systemic therapies like tyrosine kinase inhibitors in case of deep or desmoid fibromatoses wh...

Neuromuscular Choristoma-Associated Desmoid-Type Fibromatosis of the Brachial Plexus: Additional Evidence to Support a Nerve-Driven Mechanism
We have recently described circumferential nerve involvement of neuromuscular choristoma associated with desmoid-type fibromatosis (NMC-DTF) in cases involving the sciatic nerve, supporting a nerve-derived mechanism for the DTF. We wondered whether a similar growth pattern occurs in cases involving the brachial plexus (BP). (Source: Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery)

Feasibility and clinical implementation of MRI-guided surface brachytherapy
CONCLUSIONS: The sub-millimeter accuracy of dwell positions and high DSC's (> 0.95) of the phantom demonstrated that digitization was clinically acceptable, and accurate treatment plans were produced using MR-only imaging. This novel approach, MRI-guided SABT, will lead to individualized prescriptions for potentially improved patient outcomes.PMID:38584885 | PMC:PMC10993898 | DOI:10.5114/jcb.2024.135647 (Source: Journal of Contemporary Brachytherapy)
