Background: In Vietnam the juxta-articular soft tissue diseasesare very popular, but they have not been studied yet. Objectives: (1) Describe clinical feature of some juxta-articular soft tissue diseases (tendinopathy) (except periarthritis of the shoulder). (2) Determine the risk factors of these diseases. Subjects and method:118 patients with juxta-articular soft tissue diseases. Diagnosed following the standard criteria and treated in Rheumatology Department Bach Mai hospital (Hanoi - Vietnam) in the period from December 2005 to August 2006 There was a prospective descriptive method of study.Results:(1) Clinical feature of some juxta-articular soft tissue diseases: average age: 50.2 \xb1 10.4 years, female/male ration: 4:1, the most frequent clinical forms: Tendinosis of the Elbow (Tennis Elbow) (25.4%), de Quervain\u2019s tenosynovitis (22.9%), trigger finger (17.8%), Pes Anserine Bursitis (23.7%). Clinical symtoms: pain intensity: average VAS score: 5,8 \xb1 1,3 mild and moderate limitation of movement, inflammatory signs were not evident: Mild swelling (55%), redness, increase of local temperature (4-5%), pain character: Tendinosis of the Elbow and Pes Anserine Bursitis: permanent mild pain (73.6% and 68%), de Quervain\u2019s tenosynovitis and trigger finger: pain with irrdiation along the tendon (100%). (2)The risk factors ofthese diseases: manual and repetitive work, care of children (74%), middle age (73%), female (80,5%), osteoarthritis (21.2%), diabetes associated with trigger finger (19%).Conclusion: (1) The juxta-articular soft tissue diseases were seen at middle age, with feminine preponderance, moderate pain, not evident inflammation. Clinical forms: the prevalence of each group odd diseases (Tendinosis of the Elbow, de Quervain\u2019s tenosynovitis, trigger finger, Pes Anserine Bursitis) are quite eqiuvalent. (2) The risk factors of these diseases: manual and repetitive work, care of children, middle age, female, osteoarthritis, diabetes.

Ossifying fibromyxoid tumor is rare soft tissue neoplasm of an uncertain histogenesis, and this was first described in 1989. The majority of the reported cases have involved the soft tissue of the extremities. We present here on a case of atypical ossifying fibromixoid tumor that had invaded the spine and we report on its management and outcome. We also review the relevant literature.

We report a case of a 33-years old, nulligravid, diagnosed with mullerian adenosarcoma with sarcomatous overgrowth (MASO), who presented with vaginal bleeding and recurrent endometrial polyp. MASO is a rare type of uterine sarcomas, it is a variant of adenosarcomas with poor prognosis. The index patient underwent primary surgical management with lymphadenectomy with a final stage of IC. Histologic diagnosis was Mulllerian adenosarcoma with sarcomatous overgrowth. A panel of immunostaining for estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors and CD 10 showed diffused positivity for the hormones with loss of CD 10 which is consistent with MASO. The rarity of MASO has a distinctive histologic features which merits meticulous sectioning as the clinical course and management vary. It has a poor prognosis due to its short and fast course of the disease.

An unusual and rare presentation of osteomalacia results from the paracrine effect of a localized bone or soft tissue neoplasm. In this syndrome, known as tumor induced osteomalacia or oncogenic osteomalacia, a neoplasm synthesizes and secretes a circulating compound, known as phosphatonin, which acts on the kidney leading to phosphate wasting. Oncogenic osteomalacia can be caused by a wide variety of neoplasm, although they are usually primary soft tissue or bone tumors. Most commonly the causative neoplasm is a benign or low-grade malignant vascular or fibrous tissue tumor. Complete removal of the offending neoplasm completely reverses the osteomalacia. If successful, the osteomalacia resolves. However, incomplete removal of the neoplasm necessitates treatment with phosphate and Vitamin D3 to ameliorate the skeletal disease.
