We report 2 cases of enteric muco-submucosal elongated polyps (EMSEPs) that presented with gastrointestinal bleeding. The 2 patients are siblings. They both had a history of percutaneous coronary intervention for coronary artery disease and were on dual antiplatelet therapy. They underwent endoscopic resection of the polyps, which displayed identical endoscopic and histological features compati...

A technique for repairing in one stage, wide complete palatal cleft of congenital origin with obvious shortening of the soft palate, is described. Mucoperiosteal flaps were obtained from vomer bone and palate while muco-muscular flap from posterior pharyngeal wall by means of a simple technique. A layer closure was used to fill in the palatal defect. This technique was used successfully in 24 o...

Sir, Cicatricial pemphigoid (CP) is a rare autoimmune subepithelial blistering disease that predominantly affects the mucous membranes with scarring (1). The disease is characterized by the involvement of muco-cutaneous sites, among them ocular invo-lvement, which can lead to blindness. Mild forms of the disease may be controlled by anti-inflammatory drugs, such as dapsone, whereas severe forms...

We report the case of woman who presented a vulvar basal cell carcinoma (BCC) on the inner part of the labium majus, treated with local resection. Vulvar BCC is a rare cancer but can be long misdiagnosed due to a non-specific presentation. Though even rarer, BCC involving the mucosal side of the labium majus has to be considered in the differential diagnosis of the vulvar tumors. A complete exc...

Leishmania species can cause a wide spectrum of cutaneous disease in HIV-positive patients: asymptomatic, localized cutaneous, mucosal, muco-cutaneous, diffuse cutaneous or post-kala-azar leishmaniasis. In such cases, which are usually severely immunocompromised, the leishmanial parasites reach the skin of the human host by dissemination after either a new infection (resulting from the bite of ...

To measure epithelial cell strwming in the rat conjunctiva. Methods Twenty seven female adult rats were injected with 18.5 KBq [3H]-thy&dine. Three rats were killed at different times up to 28d. Eyes and eyelids were removed in one piece. cut along the pupillary-optic nerve line into 5ym-thick. sections. and prepared for autoradiography. In each eye, the entire upper conjunctiva extending from ...
