two-hundred and seventeen subjects underwent transvaginal ultrasound -17 (8%) had unilateral polycystic ovary (pco). twelve percent of subjects with unilateral scan-pea had oligomenorrhea, 24% were amenorrheic, 23% were hirsute and 29% had acne. biochemical parameters were compared between subjects with unilateral scan- pco and those with bilateral scan- pco (n=200) as well as a group of scan-n...

1,3-Butadiene (CAS No. 106-99-0) was studied for potential carcinogenicity and chronic toxicity by inhalation in B6C3F1 mice. Groups of 50 mice of each sex were exposed to 0, 625, or 1250 ppm 1,3-butadiene for 6 hr/day, 5 days/week for 60 weeks (male) or 61 weeks (female). The study was scheduled for 104 weeks of exposure but was terminated early because of reduced survival related to induction...

Endometrial stromal tumors are reviewed with emphasis on their wide morphologic spectrum and problems in differential diagnosis, highlighting issues that have received particular attention in the recent literature. These neoplasms are divided into two major categories--endometrial stromal nodules and endometrial stromal sarcomas--a distinction made on the basis of the lack of significant infilt...

abstract background: “polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos) is a complex endocrine and metabolic disorder associated with ovulatory dysfunction”. “autonomic and central nervous systems play important roles in the regulation of ovarian physiology”. the noradrenergic nucleus locus coeruleus (lc) plays a central role in the regulation of the sympathetic nervous system and synaptically connected to the ...

PAX8 is a paired-box gene important in embryogenesis of the thyroid, Müllerian, and renal/upper urinary tracts, and expression of PAX8 has been previously described in carcinomas from each of these sites. However, a large study including a wide variety of epithelial neoplasms from multiple organ sites other than the thyroid, kidney, or Müllerian system has not been performed. The goal of this s...

The observation that total body irradiation in female mice is frequently if not inevitably followed by the development of ovarian tumor (8) has been confirmed and extended by several investigators (13, 15, 17, 19). The induction period of the tumors is very long. While regenerative changes begin after 4 to 6 months (5), tumor-like growth does not appear before about 7 months ; large tumors are ...

Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor (SLCTs) of the ovary, also known as androblastoma, is a rare neoplasm from group sex cord-stromal tumors ovary. They account for less than 0.5% all ovarian tumors. typically occur in young and reproductive women patients usually present with abdominal swelling or pain. A case 35-year-old multiparous female presented mass, ultrasonography revealed large abdomino-pelvic ...

Sarcomatoid squamous cell carcinomas are extremely rare, high grade, aggressive variant of penile cancers. Sarcomatoid carcinoma are biphasic neoplasms with a combination of both sarcomatoid components and carcinomatous elements. These neoplasms are very rare in the urogenital system. We report a 53-year-old male presented with an ulcerated lesion on the glans penis. The rarity of this case rei...
