Sarcomas make up a broad group of malignant neoplasms of mesenchymal origin. More
than 70 histologic subtypes have been identified. However, sarcomas can be classified into …

The association between Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and a large number of benign and
malignant diseases is unique among DNA viruses. Within infected tissues, proteins that are …

Epstein-Barr virus-associated smooth muscle tumors (EBV-SMT) are rare lesions that occur
in immunocompromised patients. Because they have not been fully characterized …

Smooth muscle tumors are here considered an essentially dichotomous group composed of
benign leiomyomas and malignant leiomyosarcomas. Soft tissue smooth muscle tumors with …

This paper presents an overview of smooth muscle tumors occurring in deep soft tissue.
Although the existence of leiomyomas of soft tissue has been questioned in the past, it …

The Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) can cause different types of cancer in human beings when the
virus infects different cell types with various latent patterns. EBV shapes a distinct and …

The Notch signaling pathway influences cell fate decisions, proliferation versus
differentiation and cell survival. Viruses both utilize and manipulate the differentiation state …

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a ubiquitous human pathogen that usually maintains a
harmonious relationship with its host. Rarely, this host-virus balance is perturbed, causing a …

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)–associated posttransplant smooth muscle tumors (PTSMT) are
very rare complications. We aimed to provide a clinicopathological characterization which is …
