background: actinomycosis is an indolent, slowly progressive infection caused by non acid fast, gram positive, anaerobic or microaerophilic bacteria. the most common site of actinomycosis infection is cervicofacial region. bacteriologic identification from infected site or detection of sulfur granules confirms the diagnosis. we report a rare case of simultaneous infection of larynx and lungs ac...

There are no standardized diagnostic criteria for intrapancreatic metastasis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Here, we report two cases of patients with PDAC who were pathologically diagnosed as harboring intrapancreatic metastasis. In both cases, the main lesions were located in the pancreatic body, and no other lesion was detected preoperatively. The patients were diagnosed with pa...

RATIONALE In clinical work, neuroendocrine synchronous multiplicity carcinoma was relatively rare. Most were confirmed by the pathological diagnosis of a certain part of the body combined with the imaging of the whole body, while cases that had both pathological and immunohistochemistry diagnosis were few. PATIENT CONCERNS A patient who presented with abdominal pain visited our hospital, and ...

After nothing the rarity of papers describing the pathology of delayed radiation necrosis of the spinal cord, the clinical and pathological findings from four cases are presented. The main pathological features are asymmetric demyelination of the lateral columns and to a lesser degree the posterior and anterior columns of white matter, with coagulative necrosis at the level of irradiation which...

Dermal lymphatic malformations are rare congenital hamartomas of superficial lymphatics characterized by high recurrence rates after excision. The standard therapy for a single lesion is surgical excision with wide margins, which reduces recurrence but can have a potentially unacceptable aesthetic outcome. A case of a 24-year-old woman with a 6 cm x 5 cm dermal lymphatic malformation on her rig...

Lentigo maligna (LM) is an in situ form of melanoma which can progress into invasive lentigo maligna melanoma (LMM). Variations in the pigmentation and thus visibility of the tumour make assessment of lesion borders challenging. We tested hyperspectral imaging system (HIS) in in vivo preoperative delineation of LM and LMM margins. We compared lesion margins delineated by HIS with those estimate...
