The Vascularised Groin Chamber: A Novel Model for Growing Primary Human Liposarcoma in Nude Mice
The preclinical development of anti-sarcoma drugs has been primarily based on the subcutaneous transplantation of xenografts. Transplant survival remains an obstacle of current models which has been attributed to the period of hypoxia after transplantation. We hypothesized that primary soft tissue sarcoma models with an intrinsic tissue engineered vascular supply would be easily reproducible. This study established a reproducible xenograft model of primary human liposarcoma. This animal model could be of high value for studying human soft tissue sarcomas and their therapy. Full Text

Effusive-Constrictive Pericarditis Secondary to Primary Pericardial Lymphoma: A Case Report
Few cases of primary cardiac lymphoma (PCL) are found in the literature. We report the case of an 85 year-old male who presented with cardiac tamponade and effusive-constrictive pericarditis secondary to primary cardiac lymphoma involving only the pericardium. There have been no prior published cases with these rare scenarios. Full Text
