Most patients are diagnosed between the age of 30-50. Tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT) is a group of rare, typically non-malignant tumors of the joints. TGCT tumors often develop from the lining of joints (also known as synovial tissue). [1][2][2]: 100 [3][3]: 245 . Common symptoms of TGCT include swelling, pain, stiffness and reduced ...
H&E stain. A synovial sarcoma (also known as malignant synovioma[1]) is a rare form of cancer which occurs primarily in the extremities of the arms or legs, often in proximity to joint capsules and tendon sheaths. [2] It is a type of soft-tissue sarcoma. The name "synovial sarcoma" was coined early in the 20th century, as some researchers ...
Oncology. A glomus tumor (also known as a "solitary glomus tumor" [1]) is a rare neoplasm arising from the glomus body and mainly found under the nail, on the fingertip or in the foot. [2]: 670 They account for less than 2% of all soft tissue tumors. [3] The majority of glomus tumors are benign, but they can also show malignant features. [4]
Gestational choriocarcinoma is a form of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia, which is a type of gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD), that can occur during pregnancy. It is a rare disease where the trophoblast, a layer of cells surrounding the blastocyst, undergoes abnormal developments, leading to trophoblastic tumors.
Oncology. A soft-tissue sarcoma (STS) is a malignant tumor, a type of cancer, that develops in soft tissue. [1] A soft-tissue sarcoma is often a painless mass that grows slowly over months or years. They may be superficial or deep-seated. Any such unexplained mass must be diagnosed by biopsy. [2]
A pyogenic granuloma or lobular capillary hemangioma[3] is a vascular tumor that occurs on both mucosa and skin, and appears as an overgrowth of tissue due to irritation, physical trauma, or hormonal factors. [4][5] It is often found to involve the gums, skin, or nasal septum, and has also been found far from the head, such as in the thigh. [6 ...
Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) is a term used for a group of pregnancy-related tumours. [1] These tumours are rare, and they appear when cells in the womb start to proliferate uncontrollably. The cells that form gestational trophoblastic tumours are called trophoblasts and come from tissue that grows to form the placenta during pregnancy.
Squamous-cell carcinoma. Squamous-cell carcinoma (SCC), also known as epidermoid carcinoma, comprises a number of different types of cancer that begin in squamous cells. [1] These cells form on the surface of the skin, on the lining of hollow organs in the body, and on the lining of the respiratory and digestive tracts.
