BACKGROUND Solid pancreatic tumors such as pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), solid pseudopapillary tumor (SPT), and pancreatic endocrine tumor (PET) may occasionally manifest as cystic lesions. In this study, we have put together our accumulated experience with cystic manifestations of various solid tumors of the pancreas. METHODS From 2000 to 2006, 376 patients with pancreatic solid t...

OBJECTIVE To assess the bone mineral content in well nourished patients with cystic fibrosis and to seek a correlation with fat-free mass. METHODS Fourteen cystic fibrosis patients aged 6 to 20 years were studied and compared to 14 healthy controls matched for gender, age, and nutritional status. Bone mineral content was determined by dual energy x ray absorptiometry (DEXA). RESULTS Nutriti...

Cystic tumors of the pancreas are less frequent than solid lesions and are often detected incidentally, as many of these lesions are small and asymptomatic. However, they may be associated with pancreatitis or have malignant potential. With advancements in diagnostic imaging, cystic lesions of the pancreas are being detected with increasing frequency. Many lesions can cause a pancreatic cyst, m...

Although cystic lesions of the pancreas are considered relatively rare, improved diagnostics have resulted in higher reported incidence. Cystic neoplasms comprise approximately 10% to 15% of primary cystic masses of the pancreas, and 1% to 15% of all pancreatic neoplasms. While non-neoplastic cystic lesions predominantly affect men with a wide age range, the vast majority of neoplastic cysts oc...

Objectives The aim of the present study was to document the frequency and clinicopathologic features of intra-osseous jaw lesions in an Iranian pediatric population over a 20-year period. Methods Data were obtained from the archives of the Oral Pathology Department, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran. The lesions were classified into four groups: (A) odontogenic cysts...

Pathological structures called epidermoid bone inclusion cysts are surrounded by a layer of stratified squamous epithelium that contains keratin debris. They go the name epidermal as well. Intraosseous uncommon lesions can develop result trauma (puncture wound or pressure erosion). typically affect toes, phalanges, and head. The distal phalanx fingers is where phalangeal involvement most freque...
