Hepatic lesions are frequently identified incidentally on • imaging performed for other purposes. With the exception of large lesions, benign hepatic neo• plasms are typically asymptomatic. With current high quality imaging, it is possible to differentiate • the majority of hepatic neoplasms as benign or malignant. Resection of indeterminant, worrisome lesions is generally • preferred over biop...

OBJECTIVE To identify the different histopathological types of ovarian neoplasms and their age distribution. METHODS This is a retrospective study were ovarian neoplasms received by the Pathology Department of King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia between January 1995 and December 2010 were reviewed and their frequencies in different age groups were calculated. RESULTS Out of 618...

Primary malignant neoplasms of the pericardium are rare and are predominantly mesotheliomas, followed by benign localized fibrous mesothelioma, malignant fibrosarcoma, angiosarcoma and benign and malignant teratomas. 1 This article concerns an atypical presentation of this malignant tumor with symptoms and signs of pericardial effusion. This unusual feature was complete encasement of the h...

AIM The aim of the present study is to establish the relative frequency and distribution of benign and malignant epithelial neoplasms of salivary glands in the Pathology and Cytology Laboratory, STUDY DESIGN Historic cohort. MATERIAL AND METHOD in the state of Sergipe, during the period 1980-1999. The neoplasms were individualized by gender, age, race of the patients, anatomic localization ...

Odontogenic neoplasms encompass a group of lesions with a varied clinical picture and biological behavior ranging from indolent hamartomatous proliferation to locally aggressive benign tumors and their very aggressive malignant counterparts. The benign neoplasms are normally slow growing, indolent with no invasive potential. However, there exists a few locally aggressive benign odontogenic tumo...

conclusions primary mesenteric tumors are rare and mostly benign tumors. complete surgical excision is necessary for all tumors and follow-up is necessary after surgery for malignant fibrous histiocytoma due to recurrence. case presentation we encountered four cases of different primary mesenteric neoplasms that were operated at the gazi yasargil teaching and research hospital, department of ge...

The aim of this article is to highlight the importance of Eccrine Spiradenoma (ES) in the differential diagnosis of chronic soft tissue lesions of the foot. These include a broad spectrum of nonneoplasm lesions, as well as benign and malignant neoplasms. Benign tumours include deep fibromatosis, neurogenic tumours, lipoma, haemangioma, synovial proliferations, and exceptionally rare on foot, sk...

odontogenic tumors constitute a group of heterogeneous lesions of benign and malignant neoplasms with variable aggressiveness. ameloblastomas are a group of benign but locally invasive neoplasms that occur in the jaws and are derived from epithelial elements of the tooth-forming apparatus. we previously described orosomucoid-1 protein expression in odontogenic myxomas. however, whether orosomuc...
