Metallothioneins take part in the homeostasis of the ions of the metals which are necessary for the proper metabolism of the organism (zinc, copper), in biosynthesis regulation of the zinc-containing proteins and also in the detoxication of metals from the tissues. They also protect the tissue from the effects of free radicals, radiation, electrophilic pharmacological agents used in the cancer ...

An immunoperoxidase technique has been utilised for the demonstration of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinising hormone (LH) and prolactin (PRL) binding sites in normal human ovaries and in a wide range of benign and malignant epithelial tumours of the ovary. The incidence of FSH, LH and PRL binding was, respectively, 32%, 41% and 39% in normal ovaries, 30%, 18.5% and 22.5% in benign e...

The expression of Ca antigen in ovarian epithelial tumours has been studied by an immunohistochemical technique using the Ca 1 monoclonal antibody. The antigen was found to be present in some examples of each of the histological subtypes of ovarian epithelial neoplasms and was detected in benign, borderline and malignant tumours. It is concluded that the presence of Ca antigen is of no discrimi...

Objective. To report the institutional experience of evolution duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection (DPPHR) as a surgical treatment for chronic pancreatitis with an inflammatory tumor well cystic and benign, premalignant neoplasms neuroendocrine tumors head. Methods. DPPHR is associated preservation gastric antrum, common bile duct duodenum/upper jejunal loop, contrary to Kausch-Whippl...

Abstract Background Pancreatic serous cystadenoma (SCA) is a benign, cystic lesion with an indolent growth pattern. Complications such as spontaneous hemorrhage or malignant transformation from SCA are extremely rare. Our case report describes unusual presentation of patient previously diagnosed SCA, made unique by the presence three separate neoplasms in final specimen. Case A 74-year-old male...

Psoriasis vulgaris (PV) is a systemic inflammatory disease in which immune and genetic factors are involved in the pathogenesis. Some treatment approaches in PV patients have been similar to therapy of some tumors. This fact has led to a new scientific approach to PV not only as an inflammatory disease, but also as a benign epidermal hyperplasia or a benign tumor. In this article, we hypothesiz...

Adrenal cortical tumors constitute a heterogeneous group of neoplasms with distinct clinical, morphological, and molecular features. Recent discoveries of specific genotype-phenotype correlations in adrenal cortical adenomas have transformed our understanding of their respective endocrine syndromes. Indeed, a proportion of patients with primary aldosteronism are now known to harbor adrenal cort...

The hand is a very versatile functional part of the body and therefore more prone to trauma and thus traumarelated tumor-like lesions are more likely to develop in the hand and wrist region. A broad spectrum of variable lesions can involve the hand. Most are benign non-neoplastic trauma-induced tumor-like lesions. True neoplasms of the hand are predominantly benign. Primary malignant tumors of ...
