Congenital granular cell tumor (GCT) is a relatively rare intraoral benign tumor, approximately 200 cases of which have been reported in the neonatal period worldwide. The newborn infant may have feeding problems and respiratory difficulties due to airway obstruction. This lesion may be diagnosed by prenatal ultrasonography and simple resection is mostly required. We report a case of an adult t...
متن کاملPrenatal Diagnosis, Sampling of Chorionic Villi
Prenatal diagnosis with application of the Amniotic fluid (Amniocentesis: AC) and chorionic villi sampling {CVS) is a general aspect of application in Human Genetics which facilitate the diagnosis of different Genetic defects, enclosing chromosomal abnormalities and Genosomopathies. Diagnosis of Genetic defects for AC and CVS is between 16-20th and 8-12th weeks of gestation respectively. Allica...
