Item type:Publication, Gastric metastasis from high-grade soft tissue sarcoma: a rare occurrence with literature review(Oxford University Press and JSCR Publishing Ltd, 2025-03-15); ; Todorova, TeodoraMetastasis of high-grade soft tissue sarcoma to the stomach is an extremely rare occurrence. While sarcomas can spread to distant organs,they most commonly metastasize to the lungs,liver,and bones.We report a unique case of gastric metastasis from a high-grade soft tissue sarcoma,occurring 4 years after the initial diagnosis of fibrosarcoma in the right femoral region.The patient did not undergo adjuvant chemotherapy and developed a large soft tissue metastasis in the left gluteal region 2 years later. After 4 years, he presented with a second soft tissue metastasis and suspected metastatic lung nodules. Symptoms of melena and severe anemia prompted a gastroscopic examination, which revealed gastric metastasis from a high-grade soft tissue sarcoma. Due to severe anemia, a palliative gastric resection was performed.A review of the literature indicates that metastatic leiomyosarcomas are the most frequently reported sarcoma subtype metastasizing to the stomach. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, The Role of Ultrasound in the Diagnosis of Soft Tissue Tumors(Georg Thieme Verlag KG, 2020-04); Fanti, StefanoThe vast majority of soft tissue masses are benign. Benign lesions such as superficial lipomas and ganglia are by far the most common soft tissue masses and can be readily identified and excluded on ultrasound (US). US is an ideal triaging tool for superficial soft tissue masses. Compared with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), High-resolution US is inexpensive, readily available, well tolerated, and safe. It also allows the radiologist to interact with the patient as a clinician. In this review, we describe and illustrate the lesions with typical (diagnostic) US features. When the appearances of the lesion are not typical as expected for a benign lesion, lesions are deep or large, or malignancy is suspected clinically, MRI and biopsy are needed. The management of suspicious soft tissue tumors has to be carefully planned by a multidisciplinary team involving specialized surgeons and pathologists at a tumor center. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
