“…Representing <0.03% of all neoplasms, the tumor occurs more often in females and can occur in all age ranges, with a peak incidence between puberty and the fourth decade of life (1). Histologically similar desmoid tumors have different prognostic outcomes in relation to age, being locally more aggressive in young subjects, with a higher percentage of recurrences (6). The most common tumor locations are the shoulders and upper limbs (33%), the gluteus and lower limbs (30%), the thoracic wall and spinal column (17%), and the head and neck (10%) (2).…”

“…In the present case, the patient was suffering from endometriosis and underwent hormonal treatment as well as surgery; in addition to this, the lesion occurred soon after the birth of the patient's first child. In a fair percentage of cases, fibromatosis is associated with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) or Gardner's syndrome (1,6). Despite the multifactorial etiology, certain genetic factors have been identified.…”

Abstract. Extra-abdominal fibromatosis is a rare, benign disease that is characterized by a local but not metastatic invasivity. In particular, desmoid tumors of the chest wall represent only 10-20% of all deep fibromatoses. The disease occurs more often in females and has a higher incidence between puberty and the fourth decade of life. The present study reports the case of a 34-year-old female who came to our attention due to a voluminous mass in the right subcostal region. The magnetic resonance imaging of the upper abdomen confirmed the presence of a neoplasm localized between the anterior hepatic margin and the right costal plane. Through a right subcostal laparotomy, the voluminous 95x45x94-mm neoplasm was excised. Histological examination showed evidence consistent with extra-abdominal fibromatosis. The patient has not shown recurrence of the disease for 4 years since the surgery. Overall, radical surgery with disease-free resection margins is the prime treatment option for this disease. Other therapeutic options, such as radiotherapy, hormonal therapy or treatment with imatinib mesylate, can also be considered in certain cases.

“…5a). Le sedi preferenzialmente colpite sono gli arti superiori o inferiori, il collo, la spalla e la parete toracica [23,24,32,33,[38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46]. In molti casi si manifesta come lesione unica, però è possibile osservare localizzazioni multiple e sincrone nel 10%-15% dei casi [24,40,47].…”

“…Prognosis is related to age at onset. In patients <30 years, the lesions tend to be more aggressive, with a high rate of local recurrence (>87%) [40,41,44]. Given the contiguity of this form of fibromatosis with bony structures, CT in combination with radiography is helpful for identifying any signs of bone involvement.…”

The purpose of this paper was to illustrate the role of diagnostic imaging in superficial and deep fibromatosis through a review of the use of different imaging modalities, including radiography, ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), angiography and scintigraphy. In particular, in agreement with published data, it emphasises the crucial role of MRI as the primary modality providing the information needed for management decisions, preoperative planning and follow-up of these lesions.

SUMMARYIn this paper, a transducer that is suitable for the ultrasonic wireless power transmission system is discussed. The transducer is designed based on Mason's equivalent circuit theory, basically. The transducer was developed using design parameters optimized by multiphysics analysis. As a result, it is confirmed that the transmission efficiency is drastically improved to more than 50%. This result suggests that wireless power transmission by acoustic wave is feasible.
