Intraneural synovial sarcoma of the median nerve

Synovial sarcomas are soft-tissue malignancies with a poor prognosis and propensity for distant metastases. Although originally believed to arise from the synovium, these tumors have been found to occur anywhere in the body. We report a rare case of synovial sarcoma arising from the median nerve. To our knowledge, this is the twelfth reported case of intraneural synovial sarcoma, and only the fourth arising from the median nerve. Because the diagnosis may not be apparent until after pathological examination of the surgical specimen, synovial sarcoma should be kept in mind when dealing with what may seem like a benign nerve tumor

Monophasic synovial sarcoma of the pharynx: a case report

Synovial sarcomas are a rare form of soft tissue sarcomas. We present a case of a 62 year-old male presenting with a left thyroid lump initially though to be a thyroid adenoma but subsequently diagnosed as a monophasic synovial sarcoma of the pharynx. We discuss the diagnosis and treatment of this case

Magnetic structure and phase transitions of Co1−xMnxCl2⋅2H2O\mathrm{Co_{1-x}Mn_xCl_2 \cdot 2H_2O} and C1−xMnxCl2⋅2D2O\mathrm{C_{1-x}Mn_xCl_2 \cdot 2D_2O}

We present neutron diffraction results of the magnetic structure, phase transitions and magnetic short-range order of Co1-xMnxCl2 · 2H2O/D2O single crystals. For samples in an intermediate composition range, where a spin glass phase exists, we found the coexistence of spin glass and long-range antiferromagnetic order
