We would like to congratulate Skinner and colleagues on their recent article, in which they perform a thorough statistical comparison of multiple uveal melanoma classification systems that are based on anatomic features, including the TNM staging system. Although the TNM system can work well as a prognostication tool in some cancer types, its prognostic value in uveal melanoma has been disappoi...

Clinicopathologic features and clinical outcomes of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) in esophagus are limited, because of the relatively rare incidence of esophageal GISTs. Therefore, the aim of the current study was to investigate the clinicopathologic features and clinical outcomes of esophageal GISTs, and to investigate the potential factors that may predict prognosis.Esophageal GIST ...

PURPOSE PIK3CA gene mutations have been detected in many malignancies, but the frequency of different mutations and their role in the carcinogenesis of lung adenocarcinoma are still unclear. The purpose of this study was to explore the clinical pathological impact and prognostic implications of PIK3CA mutations in lung adenocarcinoma. METHODS Five common PIK3CA mutations (E542K, E545K, and E5...

Intranodal palisaded myofibroblastoma is a rare benign soft tissue tumor almost always arising from inguinal lymphnodes. It usually present as painless, slow growing mass. We report herein case of an intranodal occurring in 43-year-old man along with its salient clinicopathologic features and differential diagnosis.

To explore the clinicopathologic characteristics, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of gastric schwannoma in the imatinib era.The clinicopathologic characteristics and postoperative outcomes of patients diagnosed with gastric schwannoma at our institution between January 2007 and February 2015 were retrospectively collected and analyzed.The main patient complaint was epigastric pain or discom...

A case of vaginally delivered stillborn female thoracopagus conjoined twins is presented. Each twlin had a cleft lip and cleft palate. They shared a common pericardial sac and a common abdominal cavity. The liver was conjoined, and the small bowel was common to both twins. One twin was asplenic. Although the twins were monozygotic, their viscera were neither identical nor mirror-image to each o...

We report a case with bilateral intumescent electric cataracts, outcomes of cataract surgery with a new technique, and a histopathologic study of the anterior capsule followed by a review of the literature on electric cataracts. The patient had bilateral cataract extraction and posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation, achieving a visual acuity of 20/20. Hematoxylin and eosin staining of...

Syncope and sudden death occurs in certain purebred Pug dogs which have been found to have intermittent sinus pauses and paroxysmal second degree heart block on electrocardiographic (ECG) study. We have established a colony of such dogs to study this problem and here report the results of histological examination of the cardiac conduction system in twenty-one of them. These include a dam which ...
