Myxofibrosarcoma is one of the most frequent soft tissue tumours in elderly patients, mostly arising in the extremities. Grade I lesions are only locally aggressive whereas grade II and grade III lesions have metastatic potential. The differential diagnosis contains several other (benign) myxoid soft tissue tumours.
Endocrine gland. Endocrine glands are glands of the endocrine system that secrete their products, hormones, directly into the blood rather than through a duct. The major glands of the endocrine system include the pineal gland, pituitary gland, pancreas, ovaries, testes, thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, hypothalamus and adrenal glands.
The hypothalamus produces releasing and inhibiting hormones that reach the anterior pituitary through the hypothalamic portal system. The superior hypophyseal arteries, which are branches of the internal carotid and posterior communicating arteries, make up the primary plexus.
