TL;DR: The detection of cerebral calcifications should not be considered a major criterion for late diagnosis of congenital Zika syndrome, nor should the absence of calcifications be used to exclude the diagnosis.

TL;DR: To identify, through a systematic literature review, the characteristics of neoplasm seeding in biopsy performed on the musculoskeletal system, a search on PubMed, MEDLINE, LILACS and SciELO from August to October 2010 found 2858 articles, but only seven were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria.

TL;DR: The findings concerning calcifications and brain malformations obtained from non-contrast computed tomography (CT) demonstrated good agreement with findings obtained from the postmortem pathological analysis; however, CT failed to detect discontinuity of the pia mater with heterotopia, invasion of the cerebral tissue into the subarachnoid space, and discontinuit of the ependyma in the lateral ventricles with gliosis.

TL;DR: Tumor contamination in the biopsy path of primary malignant bone tumors was associated with local recurrence and neoadjuvant chemotherapy had a protective effect against this complication.

TL;DR: The higher number of Langerhans cells in the normal epidermis adjacent to the tumoral lesion with lower potential of local aggressiveness could indicate greater immunological resistance of the epider Mis, thus limiting the aggressiveness of the neoplasm.
