The expression of MUC1, Tn (GalNAc alpha 1-O-Ser/Thr) and sialosyl Tn (STn) (NeuAc alpha 2,6 GalNAc alpha 1-O-Ser/Thr) antigens, which are useful markers for the prognosis of cancer in other organs, was examined immunohistochemically in a series of 45 eyelid tumors and 5 pseudotumors: basal cell carcinoma, 18; squamous cell carcinoma, 11; sebaceous gland carcinoma, 6; seborrheic keratosis, 4; p...

Surgery is the best treatment to offer patients with an intramedullary spinal cord tumor. In experienced hands, radical surgery can be performed with acceptable surgical risks in most ependymomas, hemangioblastomas, and cavernomas and in 40% of astrocytomas. However, some inflammatory lesions may mimic an intramedullary tumor. That is the reason why, one should pay attention to spinal cord morp...

Mesenteric panniculitis represents a cronic inflammation of the adipose tissue of the mesentery which can present sometimes with the imagistic aspect of one or multiples pseudotumors. We present the case of female patient in which mesenteric panniculitis was found accidentally during a routine abdominal ultrasound examination leading to differential diagnostics problems. Color Doppler and contr...

Isolated splenic inflammatory pseudotumors (IPT) are extremely rare, typically benign, inflammatory lesions with varied clinical presentations that pose a diagnostic challenge to clinicians due to their similarity in appearance to neoplasms. We present the case of a young woman diagnosed with a splenic IPT following investigation for persistent anemia, raised inflammatory markers, and polyclona...

Inflammatory pseudotumors of the lung are uncommon and etiologically diverse lesions that often present as solitary masses in the lung. It may be difficult to distinguish these lesions from more commonly encountered lung neoplasms. Inflammatory pseudotumors can also occur in other organs, but the lung is most commonly involved. We describe a 63-year-old male coal miner with a 40-year history of...
