Myxoid chondrosarcoma extraskeletal in pelvis location : a case report
La Tunisie Medicale
|October 17, 2018
Summary
Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma (CME) is a rare soft tissue tumor. Early diagnosis and complete surgical resection with radiotherapy are crucial for managing this challenging malignancy.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Pathology
- Radiology
Background:
- Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma (CME) is a rare soft tissue tumor.
- CME exhibits distinct clinical, histological, and genetic features.
- It is associated with an unfavorable long-term prognosis.
Observation:
- A case report of an 18-year-old patient with pelvic pain and poor general condition.
- MRI revealed an endopelvic infiltrative mass.
- Histological analysis confirmed extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma (CME).
Findings:
- Diagnosis of CME can be challenging and frequently delayed.
- CME demonstrates local aggressiveness but allows for prolonged survival.
- It is classified as a low- or intermediate-grade sarcoma.
Implications:
- Complete surgical resection is the primary treatment for CME.
- Adjuvant radiotherapy may be beneficial.
- Chemotherapy has limited efficacy in treating CME.

01:18Veins of the Abdomen and Pelvis
1.7K
The human body is a complex system of interconnected parts, and the circulatory system plays a crucial role in maintaining overall health. One key component of this system is the inferior vena cava, a large vein responsible for returning blood from the abdominopelvic viscera and abdominal walls to the heart.
The inferior vena cava is fed by numerous smaller veins. The lumbar veins, for instance, drain the posterior abdominal wall, emptying both directly into the inferior vena cava and into the...

01:13Location and Orientation of the Heart
10.2K
The human heart, despite its modest size and weight, is an organ of remarkable strength and endurance. Roughly the size of a fist, the heart weighs between 250 and 350 grams and is nestled within the mediastinum, the medial cavity of the thorax. It extends obliquely for about 12 to 14 cm, resting on the superior surface of the diaphragm. The heart is positioned anterior to the vertebral column and posterior to the sternum, with two-thirds of its mass lying to the left of the midsternal line.

Reporting and recording are crucial in data documentation. The timely, thorough, and accurate documentation of facts is essential when recording patient data. Failure to record findings during an assessment or interpretation of a problem will result in loss of information and make the patient document unreliable. The reader is left with general impressions if the information is not specific. A recording is documenting data of the individual's health information in a traceable, secure, and...

01:21Perceiving Loudness, Pitch, and Location
987
The human brain perceives pitch through two primary mechanisms reflected in place theory and frequency theory. Each mechanism describes how sound waves are interpreted as specific pitches by the brain, offering insights into the intricate processes of auditory perception.
Place theory, or place coding, suggests that different pitches are heard because various sound waves activate specific locations along the cochlea's basilar membrane. The brain determines the pitch of a sound by...

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) rely on two core types of data: spatial data and attribute data.Spatial DataSpatial data defines the physical location of features within a coordinate system, typically expressed in terms of latitude and longitude. It provides precise positioning for elements like roads, rivers, or buildings.Attribute DataAttribute data complements spatial data by adding descriptive information about these features. For example, a road's spatial data includes its start and...

01:03Olfactory Receptors: Location and Structure
11.8K
The process of olfaction, also known as the sense of smell, is a sophisticated chemical response system. The specialized sensory neurons that facilitate this process, known as olfactory receptor neurons, are situated in an upper segment of the nasal cavity, known as the olfactory epithelium. Olfactory sensory neurons are bipolar, with their dendrites extending from the epithelium's apex into the mucus that lines the nasal cavity. Airborne molecules, when inhaled, traverse the olfactory...
