Fibrosarcoma of the breast

A total of 5 583 symptomatic patients were referred for xeromammography at the Mammographic Clinic, Johannesburg General Hospital, between June 1974 and January 1979. Four hundred and fifty-eight carcinomas and 3 sarcomas were recorded. The incidence of carcinoma in our series was 7,9% and that of sarcoma 0,65%, while there was a 0,21% incidence of pure fibrosarcoma. Comparison is made with world literature.     

Fibrosarcoma of epididymis

We present a case of fibrosarcoma of the epididymis occurring in a sixty-year-old man. While review of the literature has failed to determine an exact number of such cases reported, we believe the number is small. We discuss the treatment options and prognosis for these patients.     

Fibrosarcoma of kidney

A case of fibrosarcoma of the kidney is presented. Clinical and radiologic features are discussed. The arteriographic features of this tumor are indistinguishable from adenocarcinoma of the kidney. Microscopically, this tumor may be confused easily with leiomyoma or leiomyo-sarcoma. Special staining techniques with van Gieson and Mallory trichrome stains and electron microscopy help establish diagnosis.
