We report on a 33 year old woman with Rothmund-Thompson syndrome, Klippel-Feil syndrome and osteosarcoma. We briefly discuss the relationship of these diseases and suggest that the cause for mental retardation is cerebral atrophy as shown on imaging.
We report a rare case of haemangiopericytoma/solitary brous tumour of the greater omentum in a 41-year-old woman. It presented as a large mobile abdominal mass measuring 30 × 24 × 8 cm. A computed tomography scan con rmed the presence of a large vascular tumour, and biochemical tumour markers were non-contributory. e tumour was removed through a conventional laparotomy incision with the aid of a Ligasure dissector. ere were no macroscopic metastases, and histologically it was benign. e size of >5 cm, however, suggests that it may have been malignant. In the absence of visible metastases and in view of the favourable histological features, it was decided to follow up the patient very closely and give further treatment if necessary.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
