Econazole nitrate (EN), a synthetic compound, is now in use as a routine antifungal drug. EN was shown to have antitumor effect, the tumor cell killing mechanisms, however, remain unclear. In this research, the apoptosis-inducing effect of EN on MCF-7 cells was investigated. The results showed that EN inhibited the proliferation of MCF-7 cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner by MTT method ...

We report a rare case of late recurrence of a giant cell tumour (GCT) of bone 16 years after curettage and cryosurgery treatment. A 46-year-old man presented with swelling and progressively worsening pain in the lateral aspect of his right distal femur. He had undergone 4 procedures elsewhere to manage a GCT of bone and its recurrence 16 to 23 years previously. He underwent en bloc resection wi...

Vertebral hemangiomas are usually considered as benign tumor mostly characterized by insidious and asymptomatic. A fraction of them referred to symptomatic vertebral hemangiomas (SVHs) can lead to compressive neurological symptoms. We present a case of a 49-year-old male patient diagnosed with thoracic vertebral hemangioma who suffered from severe neurological defects. The atypical radiological...

Kapossiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) of the paranasal sins (PNS) is a rare cause of recurrent epistaxis. To date, only two cases of PNS KHE have been reported in the literature, both occurring in the pediatric population. The case presented here appears to be the first case of PNS KHE occurring in an adult. A 46-year-old white female presented with progressively worsening unilateral recurrent...
