BACKGROUND Ovarian epithelial dysplasia was first described after prophylactic oophorectomies for genetic risk. Ovarian stimulation has been considered as a risk factor of ovarian cancer by Fathalla's incessant ovulation theory. In this study, we have investigated the risk of ovarian dysplasia after ovulation induction. METHODS We reviewed 99 oophorectomies or cystectomies between 1990 and 20...

Gastric epithelial dysplasia (GED) represents a recognized precursor lesion of gastric adenocarcinoma. GED types can be classified according to its morphology and patterns of mucin expression into adenomatous (intestinal), foveolar (gastric) and hybrid (mixed) types. We examined gastroscopic specimens with GED in 35 patients (21 men and 14 women, mean age 69.6 years). Adenomatous dysplasia was ...

BACKGROUND Grebe dysplasia, Hunter-Thompson dysplasia, and du Pan dysplasia constitute a spectrum of skeletal dysplasias inherited as an autosomal recessive trait characterized by short stature, severe acromesomelic shortening of the limbs, and normal axial skeleton. The majority of patients with these disorders have biallelic loss-of-function mutations of GDF5. In single instances, Grebe dyspl...

In South Africa, 1919 canine elbow dysplasia grading evaluations were performed from 1999-2006. Of these 1827 were evaluated by the senior author and form the basis of this article. Each report recorded the breed, age, sex, side affected and elbow dysplasia grading. The relationship between breed, age, sex, side affected, origin of radiographs and elbow dysplasia incidence was then analysed. St...

Cervical biopsies from 97 women with malignant cells in cervical scrape smears have been studied. Forty-eight patients had invasive squamous carcinoma, and 49 had intraepithelial lesions. Of these, six had dedifferentiated carcinoma in situ, nine had the differentiated lesions generally known as ;severe dysplasia', and 29 had both; the severity of the dysplasia remained doubtful in five patient...

A 5-year-old Oldenburg mare presented for poor performance, head-tossing and bucking when ridden. An abnormal respiratory noise was audible during exercise. Computed tomography (CT) revealed right laryngeal dysplasia; an absent cricothyroid articulation, abnormally shaped thyroid cartilage, underdeveloped cricopharyngeus muscle, rostral displacement of the palatopharyngeal arch oesophageal air ...

Thanatophore dysplasia is a rare lethal bone dysplasia. It caused bya genetic mutation. There are two subtypes which very similar in their distinct radiological characteristics and mutations. Early diagnosis imperative based on antenatal ultrasound data.We report case of type I thanatophore diagnosed at 32 weeks amenorrhea 14 days by routine an 18-year-old woman, with no known family malformati...

Chronic atrophic gastritis, chronic duodenal and gastric ulcers create conditions for the formation of precancerous changes in mucosa form dysplasia. The biopsy material from patients with - 75 was studied. development severe dysplasia epithelium observed mainly more forms gastritis. High proliferative activity confirmed by expression marker Ki-67 a label index (MI)>30,0%. Between degree muc...

Late presentation of symptomatic hydrometrocolpos is uncommon. We present a 5 years old continent girl with prenatally diagnosed multicystic dysplastic left kidney and late-onset lower abdominal pain. Investigations revealed nonfunctioning an ectopic ureter draining into the hemivagina, vaginal duplication obstructed urine-filled hemivagina. Surgical therapy included resection septum laparoscop...

Context: Leukoplakia represents the most common premalignant oral mucosal lesion. Candida albicans is frequently found in histologic sections of leukoplakia. Some Candida strains may have the potential to promote the development of oral cancer. Aim: The present study was undertaken to assess the role of Candida infection in different stages of leukoplakia and in different grades of dysplasia th...
