Abstract Reactive soft tissue lesions are common in the oral cavity. These lesions usually occur as a painless non-neoplastic proliferation. Surgical excision of these lesions will cause aesthetic and mucogingival problems in the area. In this case, a prominent lesion in the anterior maxilla of a 40-year-old woman had recurred after two years. Surgical treatment was performed with complete ...

Introduction: Few studies on benign soft tissue tumors of oral cavity have been conducted in an Iranian population. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of the benign soft tissue tumors of the oral cavity in three central pathology centers of Rasht, Iran. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, all benign soft tissue tumors of the oral cavity, were retrieved fro...

We examined whether colonization of selected oral pathogens is associated with gastric precancerous lesions in a cross-sectional study. A total of 119 participants were included, of which 37 were cases of chronic atrophic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia, or dysplasia. An oral examination was performed to measure periodontal indices. Plaque and saliva samples were tested with real-time quantita...

Non-neoplastic thyroid lesions include nodules with nondiagnostic cytology and those benign cytology. In approximately 15% of cases, fine-needle aspiration (FNAC) results in cytologically inadequate specimens. Nondiagnostic smears have an number cells to allow a diagnosis. This category also includes cystic lesions, which are frequent cause results. Benign diagnosis represents the most result f...

Human papillomavirus types 16 and 18 cause the majority of cervical cancers worldwide. Despite availability three prophylactic vaccines based on virus-like particles (VLP) major capsid protein (L1), these are unable to clear an existing infection. Such infected persons experience increased risk neoplastic transformation. To overcome this problem, study proposes alternative synthetic long peptid...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Several diagnostic methods are being employed to detect benign and malignant lesions, one of which is silver nitrate staining for organizer regions. The number of nucleolar organizing regions (NORs) can be used to show the degree of cell activity or metabolism in pathologic lesions. This study was designed to evaluate NORs as determi-nants of precancerous and squamous cell c...

In the present study a recently conceived 4-gene marker panel covering the Wnt and Ras-Raf-MEK-MAPK signaling pathways was used to analyze 20 colorectal serrated lesions and 41 colorectal adenoma samples and to determine the percentage of each of the above-mentioned potentially precancerous lesions carrying at least one of the four above-mentioned genes in a mutated form. CTNNB1 and B-Raf were ...
