AbstractMesenteric masses are infrequent lesions ranging from benign cysts to aggressive malignancies and often present a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. The mesentery is a frequent recipient of metastases from the gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, and biliary cancers. Primary mesenteric tumors are relatively rare, mostly mesenchymal in origin and benign in nature. Examples include gastro...

less than 5% of prenatal thymoctes express hla-dr before week 12 of gestation. however, the number of hla-dr- positive cells increases during the late second and third trimesters of development. to determine the role of alpha-smooth muscle actin in fetal thymic hla-dr signaling in different stages of development we examined and compared the immunohistochemical expression of alpha-smooth muscle ...

This report describes the histological and immunohistochemical features of a small intestinal tumor that resembled a human gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GISTs) in a seven-year-old male cross-breed dog. This was unique because of the expression of desmin by the tumor. Grossly, the white-gray tumor measured 8.0 × 4.0 × 6.5 cm and was 760 gram in weight. It was cystic and enveloped the jejunum. ...

Uterine sarcoma is a rare verity of smooth muscle tumor, accounting for 2 to 6% uterine malignancies. Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) represents ∼1% overall tumors and ∼25 36% sarcomas. Here we present case LMS in 34-year-old nulliparous woman presented with huge distension abdomen which was confused be an ovarian malignancy. She underwent total abdominal hysterectomy bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. The ...
