A supernumerary ovary is an exceedingly rare disorder, in which the structure containing ovarian tissue is located at some distance from the normally placed ovary. 16 cases of endometriosis or tumors originating in a supernumerary ovary have been published in the English literature, but no case of coexisting endometriosis and a tumor has been published. We present the case of a 40-year-old fema...

Large blood-stained pleural effusions, especially in young patients, are unusual and may be caused by metastatic disease in the chest, a large pulmonary infarction, and, rarely, pulmonary tuberculosis.

Maxillofacial fibro-osseous lesions are a generic designation of a group of jaw disorders characterized by the replacement of bone by a connective tissue matrix, which displays varying degrees of mineralization in the form of woven bone or of cementum-like structures indistinguishable from “cementicles”.1 These lesions are of particular interest to the maxillofacial radiologist because they emp...

A unique fibrous tumor of the ovary is reported. A 32-year-old nulliparous woman was diagnosed with a left ovarian tumor and underwent left salpingo-oophorectomy. Macroscopically, the cut surface of the tumor showed yellowish multilobular areas. There was no sign of necrosis or hemorrhage within the tumor.

Ossifying fibroma is a benign neoplasm of the bone, usually involving the posterior tooth bearing area of the mandible, predominantly seen in females in 2nd-4th decade of life with 5:1 prediliction. Fibro-osseous lesions other than FD seem to arise from the periodontal membrane. These lesions are usually asymptomatic, well defined clinically and radiologically amenable for enucleation. Fibro-os...

rabbit fibroma in gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis). The methods of preparation and passage of the squirrel fibroma virus and the performance of neutralization tests were described (17). Subsequently, passage of the virus in suckling squirrels was accomplished, and some unusual pulmonary lesions were found in one of the suck ling squirrels 50 days after inoculation (15).

Central odontogenic fibroma is a very rare benign odontogenic tumour characterized by a fibrous mature stroma with variable strands or islands of inactive-looking odontogenic epithelium. Our aim is to report a case of a central odontogenic fibroma and describe the clinical usefulness of Er:YAG laser for the surgical treatment of this tumour. A 74-year-old woman presented with an expansive lesio...
