We investigated the organization of the immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) and the T cell receptor beta chain (T$) gene loci in 20 ocular adnexal and four extraocular lymphoid neoplasms obtained from 1 8 patients presenting with an ocular adnexal lymphoid neoplasm. Fifteen ocular adnexal and four extraocular lymphoid neoplasms occurring in 1 3 patients were classified by morphological examination...

Objective. The aim of this study is to look at possible differences in outcome between serosa and adnexal involvement stage IIIA endometrial carcinoma. Methods. 67 patients with stage IIIA endometrial carcinoma were included, 46 with adnexal involvement and 21 with serosa. A central histopathological review was performed. Results. The 7-year locoregional failure rate was (LRFR) 2.2% for adnexal...

• Ovarian carcinomas represent 6th most common cancer, the second gynecologic cancer and 4th leading cause of death in women. With no viable screening estimates accessible, 70% ovarian malignancies are diagnosed at a late stage. Separation benign lesions from malignant ones is foremost significance to direct correct clinical management. Imaging modalities, particularly ultrasonography (US), com...

BACKGROUND There is no universal screening method for discrimination between benign and malignant adnexal masses yet. Various authors have tried tumor markers, imaging studies, cytology but no one yet is a definite method for screening of cancer ovary, for which a combined diagnostic modality has come to practice in form of RMI. With this background we conducted our study "Evaluation of risk ma...

243 Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of orbital tumors as a rapid and minimally invasive diagnostic technique backs to 1975[1] and since then it was widely used as a primary investigative procedure for the diagnosis and management of various orbital and eyelid lesions.[2] This technique when performed in experienced hands is safe and of great value in the diagnosis of new primary, recurre...

background: tumors involving the hand skeleton are rare. however, a basic knowledge of hand tumors is necessary for every clinician. this is due to the importance of distinguishing typical benign tumors from life or limb threatening malignant ones. methods: this study is a review of 99 cases of osseous hand tumors presented to the department of orthopedic surgery, imam khomeini hospital in tehr...

Background: Mature cystic teratoma of the ovary is one of the most common benign ovarian tumors, which may be confused with other adnexal lesions due to its extensive manifestations on ultrasound. Therefore, in this study, we tried to reduce the need for pathology frozen sections by examining more accurate preoperative ultrasound results and classifying ovarian lesions based on them. Methods: ...

Pelvic ultrasonography (US) remains the imaging modality most frequently used to detect and characterize adnexal masses. Although evaluation is often aimed at distinguishing benign from malignant masses, the majority of adnexal masses are benign. About 90% of adnexal masses can be adequately characterized with US alone. In this article, the important US features that should allow one to make a ...

PURPOSE Several scoring systems have been developed to distinguish between benign and malignant adnexal tumors. However, few of them have been externally validated in new populations. Our aim was to compare their performance on a prospectively collected large multicenter data set. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN In phase I of the International Ovarian Tumor Analysis multicenter study, patients with a per...
