The ameloblastic fibrosarcoma is the malignant counterpart of the ameloblastic fibrosarcoma in which the mesenchymal element has become malignant. Clinically it frequently occurs in the 3rd and 4th decades, and more frequent in the mandible than in the maxilla. Radiographic features are apparent multilocular radiolucency with ill-defined border. The authors experienced two cases of ameloblastic fibrosarcoma of the mandible in a 26-year-old male and a 48-year-old female patients who suffered from pain and swelling on the affected area. And we discussed the clinical, radiological and histopathological features of this disease with a brief review of the literatures.

Ten cutaneous masses from Djungarina hamsters (Phodopus sungorus) were diagnosed as nine atypical fibromas and one fibrosarcoma derived from cutaneous ganglion cell-like cells. Among these patients, nine were male and one was female. Histologically, these abnormal masses were composed of spindle-shaped or polygonal neoplastic 'ganglion cell-like' cells with abundant amphophilic vacuolated cytoplasm. Immunohistochemically, these neoplastic cells were stained for vimentin, S100, and neuron-specific enolase. Out of 9 males, 3 showed positive reactions to the androgen receptor. This report provides a detailed histologic and immunohistochemical characterization of atypical fibroma, fibrosarcoma, and the tumorigenesis of ganglion cell-like cells in Djungarian hamsters.

A 5-month-old castrated male Bichon $Fris{\acute{e}}$ was presented with a subcutaneous mass on the occipital region. Anisocytosis, anisokaryosis, and binucleation were observed on the cytology, and the suspected diagnosis was sarcoma. There were no metastatic lesions on radiography or computed tomography. Surgical resection was performed and fibrosarcoma was diagnosed by histopathology and immunohistochemistry. This is a very rare case of a spontaneously occurring subcutaneous fibrosarcoma in a small breed puppy.

Ameloblastic fibrosarcoma(AFS) is a rare malignant odontogenic tumor presented as painful swelling and intraosseous mass with occasional ulceration. The most frequent site is the mandible body. AFS of the jaw generally occurs in all ages($3{\sim}83$ years old), with the average age of 27.3. AFS was associated with high local recurrence rate of 37% in the areas of gingiva, floor of mouth and neck. Although metastasis is not a special feature of this lesion, 20% have died within 3 months to 19 years, due to locally aggressive tumor growth. This report describes an ameloblastic fibrosarcoma occurring in the mandible of a twenty-five year old male. The tumor was treated by partial mandibulectomy and reconstructed with a fibular flap. The patient has shown no signs of recurrence or complications during 18 months postoperatively. In this study, we report our case with a review of literatures.

Adult fibrosarcoma is a malignant tumor comprising of spindle-shaped fibroblasts with variable collagen production. Due to their aggressive nature and high probability of local tumor recurrence, these tumors require accurate diagnosis and resection according to guidelines. A 57-year-old male presented to the clinic with a complaint of a palpable growing mass in the left scapular area. Examination of the back revealed a 6 cm protruding tumor with a nodular surface. We performed a wide excision, including the infraspinatus fascia layer and subsequent reconstruction using a parascapular island flap. Histopathological analysis demonstrated the typical microscopic features of adult fibrosarcoma. At the 3-year follow-up, there was no evidence of local recurrence and the resection margin was completely clear of tumor.

A newborn male baby was transferred to our hospital with a left inguinal mass. The mass was huge measuring $10{\times}10cm$, engorged, and dark-blue colored as a result of internal hemorrhage. Unstable vital signs were combined with DIC and acute renal failure. Emergency operation was performed because of the suspicion of bowel perforation. The peritoneal cavity was full of ascitis and the distal jejunum had a 0.5 cm perforation. Segmental resection of the jejunum and incisional biopsy of the inguinal mass were performed. On pelvic and thigh MRI, the mass protruded into pelvic cavity and encircled large vessels and nerves of the thigh. Pathologic diagnosis was congenital infantile fibrosarcoma. Fifteen days after operation, primary tumor excision was undertaken. The second look operation, performed after 6 times VAC chemotherapy, revealed no remained malignant cell on microscopic section. The baby has been followed closely for the last eight months.

We report a case of infantile fibrosarcoma in an 8-month-old boy manifested as a right-sided lower leg mass. Repeated local recurrence and distant metastasis were noted during the following three-year period. Whole body fluoro-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography scan revealed an asymptomatic metastasis involving the fourth lumbar vertebrae. The patient received chemotherapy (VAC regimen) with Cyberknife$^{(R)}$ stereotactic hypofractionated radiotherapy (26 Gy; 4 fractions). This treatment reduced tumor size by 23% without acute radiation toxicity even after 33 months. This case suggests that combining chemotherapy and this form of radiotherapy may be safe and effective against childhood spinal metastasis.

Enhancement of the hyperthermia effect in FsaII fibrosarcoma of C3H mice in vivo by amiloride and 4,4- diisothiocyanatostilbene.2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS) was studied. Heating alone significantly increased the tumor lactic acid content and lowered the tumor energy levels, as indicated by the PCr and ATP contents which were measured using invasive chemical analysis. An i.p. injection of amiloride, DIDS, or amiloride combined with DIDS prior to heating further increased the lactic acid content and reduced the energy status in the tumors. Amiloride and DIDS may be useful in increasing the therapeutic efficacy of hyperthermia treatments by enhancing the reduction in tumor pH.

A 14-year-old, 7.4 kg, neutered male mongrel dog presented with vomiting, anorexia, and hematuria starting 3 days prior to admission. Serum biochemical profiles indicated severe azotemia. Computed tomography revealed loss of normal left kidney structure. The organ was 1.5 to 2 times larger than the right kidney with mixed attenuation. Histopathologic examination was performed after nephrectomy. The renal mass and mesenteric membrane were positive for vimentin and stained blue with Masson's trichrome. In conclusion, this was a rare occurrence of primary renal fibrosarcoma, most likely originated from the renal capsule, with local invasion into the mesenteric membrane.

A 4 months old Golden retriever male dog was referred. By the history taking, it was kwon that the mass has been formed at the parietal region of the patient after fourth prevention inoculation. The appetite, urination and excretion were normal. The mass confirmation which was limited in the parietal region, did not seem to be enlargement of lymph node from physical examination palpation. Complete blood count and serum biochemical profiles were consistent with mild lymphocytosis, mild monocytosis, anisocytosis, regenerative anemia and elevated ALP, CPK. Survey radiographs indicated a mixed density in parietal region. We performed surgical resection and chemotherapy for cure and biopsy. Histological finding was periosteal fibrosarcoma. The application of cisplatin was topically used in operation site. Up to now the indication of recurrence is not visible.
