Aydogan, A. 98 INTRODUCTION Ameloblastic carcinoma (AC) is a malignant odontogenic epithelial tumor and combines the histologic features of the ameloblastoma. It is a rare tumor in humans and an extremely rare entity in domestic animals (1); the tumor has been reported in a horse and two dogs (2, 3, 4). It does not appear in the veterinary tumor classification and has malignant histopathologica...

The diagnosis of ameloblastic carcinoma is often difficult and the optimal treatment methods remain controversial. The current study retrospectively investigated the optimal diagnosis and treatment methods of 12 ameloblastic carcinoma patients at the West China Hospital of Stomatology, Sichuan University (Chengdu, China), and 20 patients selected from the PubMed database, were reviewed. The cli...

In vertebrates, activation of innate immunity is an early response to injury, implicating it in the regenerative process. However, the mechanisms by which innate signals might regulate stem cell functionality are unknown. Here, we demonstrate that type 2 innate immunity is required for regeneration of skeletal muscle after injury. Muscle damage results in rapid recruitment of eosinophils, which...

Les tumeurs conjonctives cutanées sont des tumeurs dermiques et/ou hypodermiques relativement fréquentes. Elles sont dominées par les tumeurs bénignes. A travers une série de 121 cas, nous avons étudié le profil épidémiologique, anatomopathologique et évolutif de ces tumeurs. C'est une étude rétrospective réalisée au service d'anatomie pathologique du CHU Mohammed VI de Marrakech entre 2004 et ...

Hepato cellular carcinoma (HCC) of fibro lamellar type is an uncommon primary hepatic carcinoma. They occur most commonly in young adults. Their etiology is not clear till date, as they are not associated with chronic liver disease. Fibro lamellar HCC is not an indolent tumor, but has a better prognosis than conventional HCC. We present an interesting case of metastatic fibro lamellar HCC detec...

Introduction: To increase breast MRI specificity, [1,2] better assessment of lesion morphology is needed. This is especially true for differential diagnosis of fibro-adenomas, which present with DCE curves similar to those of malignant lesions. Furthermore, the smaller the lesion, the more difficult it is to assess its morphology. Yet, it is these small lesions where high specificity is paramou...

A 14-year-old Black female was referred for management of an asymptomatic swelling in her right maxilla. The lesion measured 3cm across, was localised lateral to the right ala of the nose, felt bony hard in some areas and soft in others, and was continuous with the maxillary buccal plate. It occupied the right anterior vestibule but there was no palatal expansion. A panoramic radiograph showed ...

The clinical and histopathologic features of a case of ameloblastic fibroma in a 9-year-old boy has been presented along with a review of the literature. The tumor responded to conservative surgical treatment and there was no recurrence one year postoperatively. Analysis of the literature suggests that the tumor may have a higher potential for recurrence than is generally appreciated. In additi...
