INTRODUCTION We suspected that paraovarian cysts of neoplastic origin may be underreported. This study was designed to evaluate our data on the pathologic characteristics of cystic lesions located in the paraovarian area and compare them with previous studies that claimed the vast majority of these lesions were simple paraovarian cysts and only few (1.69% to 5%) were neoplastic ones. METHODS ...

The presence of lymph node (LN) positivity in endometrial adenocarcinoma (EAC) patients guides adjuvant treatment, but recommendations regarding LN evaluation at the time primary surgery remain variable. Primary pathologic tumor characteristics may predict risk involvement EAC with limited evaluation. Patients diagnosed between 2004–2016 T1–T2 National Cancer Database who had least one sampled ...

male guinea pigs show high susceptibility to burkholderia mallei and have been used as animal models in glanders studies. the purpose of our study was to elucidate glanders comparative pathogenesis in guinea pigs. we present here the histological changes and bacterial isolation that develop over time in guinea pigs inoculated intraperitoneally (ip) with two strain of b. mallei. ten male guinea ...

the aim of this study was to assess the value of 99mtc-hexakis-2-methoxyisobutylisonitrile (mibi) scintigraphy in patients with clinical and radiologic features of primary or metastatic musculoskeletal tumors. methods: the scintigraphic findings for 84 patients were compared with the surgical and histologic findings. each patient underwent three-phase bone scan with 99mtc-methylene diphosphonat...

Design: Crosssectional descriptive study based on secondary data from patient records. Setting: Records department of Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH), a tertiary teaching and referral hospital based in Nairobi. Subjects: Children aged 15 years and b...

Purpose. To validate microarray data on cytokeratin 13 (KRT13) and interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL1RN) expression in urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder (UCB) and to correlate our findings with pathologic characteristics and tobacco smoking. Methods. UCB tissue samples (n = 109) and control samples (n = 14) were obtained from transurethral resection and radical cystectomy specimen...

Introduction: Macrodystrophia lipomatosa (MDL) is a non-hereditary congenital developmental anomaly characterized by localized gigantism due to overgrowth of all mesenchymal elements. Case Report: The authors describe a case of macrodystrophia lipomatosa (MDL) with involvement of the median nerve in a 10-year-old girl and review the pathologic, radiographic, ultrasonographic and MR imaging char...

Light chain proximal tubulopathy (LCPT) is characterized by cytoplasmic inclusions of monoclonal LC within proximal tubular cells. The significance of crystalline versus noncrystalline LCPT and the effect of modern therapies are unknown. We reported the clinical-pathologic features of 40 crystalline and six noncrystalline LCPT patients diagnosed between 2000 and 2014. All crystalline LCPTs were...

BACKGROUND Owing to the rarity, the general demographics, basic clinico-pathologic features, management, outcome and prognostic factors of spindle cell carcinoma (SpCC) were unexplored. METHODS A SEER analysis was performed with 2336 cases (1973-2016). RESULTS A peak incidence occurred at 70~80 years without any gender predominance and 83.13% occurred in white people. The respiratory system...

Abstract Pneumosinus dilatans (PSD) is a rare disorder that causes aberrant paranasal sinus dilation. typically benign and asymptomatic, without any evidence of bone destruction or pathologic changes in the underlying mucosa. Localized discomfort, headaches, facial paraesthesia deformities, sensory deficits, olfactory loss, ocular abnormalities are common complaints. The diagnosis PSD confirmed...
