Microvessel density of malignant and benign hepatic lesions and MRI evaluation

Microvessel density assessment in benign and malignant endometrial changes.

Tumor angiogenesis is believed to be a prognostic indicator associated with tumor growth and metastasis. Microvessel density (MVD) assessment with common endothelial markers such as CD34 has been found to influence prognosis among endometrial carcinoma patients. The CD105/endoglin antibody has been reported to preferentially bind to proliferated endothelial cells in tissues participating in ang...

Differentiation of benign and malignant breast lesions by apparent diffusion coefficient value in mass and non-mass lesions

Background: Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is one of methods in evaluation of breast lesions. We aimed to investigate the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values in breast tumors and their accuracy in differentiating benign versus malignant lesions. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 72 patients with 88 breast lesions were investigated by 1.5-T breast MRI from 2015 to 2017 in Athari...

evaluation of mast cell count and microvessel density in reactive lesions of the oral cavity

abstract background and aims. reliable immunohistochemical assays to evaluate the definitive role of mast cells and angiogenesis in the pathogenesis of oral reactive lesions are generally not available. the purpose of the present study was to compare mast cell count (mcc) and microvessel density (mvd) between oral reactive lesions and evaluation of the correlation between mcc and mvd in these l...

Bone lesions: benign and malignant.

Evaluation of Microvessel Density of Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Comparison with Benign Lesions of Liver: An Immunohistochemical Study

Dear Editor, Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignancies in the world that is frequently diagnosed by obtaining core needle biopsies. However, distinguishing a well-differentiated HCC from benign hepatic lesions, such as fatty liver, hepatitis, cirrhosis, and adenomas, particularly in these small specimens, can be quite challenging. In this study, we used the microvess...
