Epithelial Protein Lost In Neoplasm (EPLIN), also known as LIMA1 (LIM Domain And Actin Binding 1), was first discovered a protein differentially expressed in normal and cancerous cell lines. It is now to be key the progression metastasis of certain solid tumours. Despite slow pace understanding biological role cells body systems, well its clinical implications early years since discovery, recen...

BACKGROUND Uterine leiomyomas represent the gynecological neoplasm with the highest prevalence worldwide. This apparently benign pathological entity may permeate into the venous system causing the so-called intravenous leiomyomatosis of the uterus (IVL). IVL may seldom extend to large caliber veins and reach the right cardiac chambers or pulmonary arteries and cause signs of right sided congest...

Radiation is a treatment of many gynecologic malignancies, especially locally-advanced cervical cancer. Development of second malignancies is a rare complication of radiotherapy. Our patient had uterine carsinosarcoma20 years after radiotherapy for cervical cancer. Two theories of radiationinduced malignancies were described: direct damage of double strand DNA and the abscopal or indirect damag...

abstract background: abdominal tumors are still a diagnostic problem in children. this study was conducted to assess the presentation and types of childhood intra abdominal tumors in children in shiraz. materials and methods: participants of this historical cohort study consisted of 298 children aged between 1.5 months to 15 years old who were diagnosed with abdominal mass between march 2003 an...

A 53-year-old asymptomatic woman was found to have a pelvic mass at medical examination. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging revealed a 4-cm solid mass at the right adnexal region, which showed marked hyperintensity on T(2)-weighted imaging and marked enhancement on post-contrast T(1)-weighted imaging. Chemical-shift imaging showed slight but significant signal loss on out-of-phase images, which su...

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS The authors have successfully demonstrated that the white opaque substance (WOS) identified in gastric epithelial neoplasms is an accumulation of minute lipid droplets on the epithelial neoplasm. It is not known whether the lipid droplets originate from externally ingested lipids (typically foods). The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the oral ingestion...

Three-point Dixon techniques achieve good lipid-water separation by estimating the phase due to field inhomogeneities. Recently it was demonstrated that the combination of an iterative algorithm (iterative decomposition of water and fat with echo asymmetry and least-squares estimation (IDEAL)) with a fast spin-echo (FSE) three-point Dixon method yielded robust lipid-water decomposition. As an a...

background: clinical and epidemiological variation was seen between the colon cancer (cc) and rectum cancer (rc). so, there is not so much data available about the epidemiological and clinicopathological differences and prognostic factors regarding to cc and cr in iran, we aimed to perform this study. methods: all cases of cc and rc referred to oncology and gastroenterology wards of taleghani g...

Ovarian carcinosarcoma composed of high-grade carcinoma and sarcoma is an extremely rare neoplasm typically occurs in postmenopausal women aged over 60 years. A 73-year-old female, gravida three para three, presented to our hospital with right lower abdominal pain. Right pelvic solid tumor ascites was detected on ultrasound examination. She underwent hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectom...

Introduction. Lipoleiomyoma (LL) is a rare, benign neoplasm, which most frequently occurs in postmenopausal women and is predominantly located in the uterus. However, extrauterine locations have been reported as well, e.g., in the broad ligament of the uterus, ovary, and peritoneum. Usually, LL is found in association with ordinary uterine leiomyomas. The incidence of this neoplasm is estimated...
