INTRODUCTION Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (Masson's hemangioma or Masson's tumor) is a benign vascular disease with an exuberant endothelial proliferation in normal blood vessels. Although relatively uncommon, its correct diagnosis is important because it can clinically be like both benign lesions and malignant neoplasms. We present a case of intravascular proliferative endot...

The neoplasms is a solid-appearing moderately cellular spindle cell neoplasms with abundant intercellular collagen deposition. The tumor is moderately vascular, but without the typical “staghorn vessels”. A number of the blood vessels are hyalinized. In some field the cells have “rhabdoid” features with abundant eosinophilic cytoplasms and eccentrically displaced nuclei Only occasional mitoses ...

Abstract Introduction/Objective Succinate dehydrogenase (SDH)-deficient renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is rare neoplasm (<0.2% of all RCCs) caused by SDH-subunit gene mutation, usually SDHB. Patients carrying such mutations are also predisposed to other SDH-deficient neoplasms as paraganglioma, gastrointestinal stromal tumor, and pituitary adenoma. Here, we report a case incidental RCC parag...

Introduction . Researchers in the field of oncology have a significant interest role microorganisms development malignant neoplasms. Aim To study levels 2-heptyl-3-hydroxy-4-quinolone (PQS) and 2-heptyl-4-quinolone (HHQ) produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa blood patients with lung cancer to analyze relation between their changes level immunoglobulins vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) can...

lipoma is the most common soft tissue tumor but the presence of osseous component within the tumor is quite rare. some studies show that less than 1% of lipomas were ossified. we describe the histological, radiological and diagnostic features of an ossified intramuscular lipoma. to the best of the authors' knowledge, a symptomatic ossified intramuscular lipoma without any cortical erosion and h...

CONTEXT Appropriate surgical exploration and resection of pancreatic carcinoma depends on accurate preoperative evaluation. OBJECTIVE Determine the accuracy of endoscopic ultrasound in predicting the need for surgical exploration in patients with solid pancreatic masses deemed by computer tomography to be resectable without venous grafting (absence of distant metastatic disease or major vascu...

UNLABELLED A man underwent total thyroidectomy for goiter when he was 62 years old. The pathology report informed on a 5.5 cm oncocytic follicular adenoma and a 3.5 mm papillary microcarcinoma. Due to the papillary tumor, he was treated with ablative radioiodine therapy and suppressive doses of levothyroxine. After uneventful follow-up for 9 years, increased levels of serum thyroglobulin were d...
