Journal Suggestion for Soft Tissue Tumor

[Gene_]

I have a soft tissue tumor with a very rare manifestation (2 previously reported cases) and unique cytogenetic findings (which in itself is not very unique). I need to pick out a journal that is likely to publish this case report. Any ideas/suggestions?

Int J Surg Path might be a good bet. That is a pretty respectable journal with an above-average density of case reports. However, nothing is guaranteed. For a single case to be reportable anymore really requires that the case tell you something new about the entity, besides an unusual location, and with enough reason to believe it is not just a fluke.

Or there is always the Journal of Medical Case Reports (I am not joking). Anyway, good luck.

Archives of Pathology is great for a case report. It is highly read and it's impact factor continues to rise. I got a case report published in Oct 2010 and it was picked as the cover photo.

Out of curiosity, would you be willing to share what entity you are reporting? Obviously, I can't just go out and find something so rare, so I promise I won't steal it. The curiosity is killing me (I'm a nerd, I know)! If not, no worries.
