BACKGROUND To evaluate association of lung cancer with arsenic and cadmium levels measured in tumor tissue. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety-five patients with lung cancer tumor tissue obtained surgically were included in this study. Arsenic and cadmium levels were measured and levels of metals were compared among types of lung cancer and with reference to patient data. RESULTS The histopatholo...

A 30-yr-old woman presented with 2 consecutive miscarriages within 7 mo. Histopathologic examination of the placental tissue showed intracytoplasmic inclusion vacuoles with a strong reaction in Periodic acid-Schiff staining and a slightly pallor reaction in alcian blue staining. Additional molecular genetic analyses confirmed glycogen storage disease Type IV with the finding of compound heteroz...

Background: Prognostic factors for ovarian cancer include residual tumor and chemotherapy response, but these parameters are not sufficient to predict prognoses. A new approach such as mGPS that use a combination of CRP albumin can be used assess an inflammatory response. With mGPS, elevated value hypoalbuminemia poor prognosis. Objective: To investigate the effect on histopathologic staging gr...

1.3.1. Histopathologic types (according to World Health Organization/ International Society of Gynecological Pathology classification) All tumors are to be microscopically verified. The histopathologic types are: • Endometrioid carcinoma: adenocarcinoma; adenoacanthoma (adenocarcinoma with squamous metaplasia); and adenosquamous carcinoma (mixed adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma). • Mu...

in riedel’s thyroiditis, a rare chronic inflammatory disease of thyroid gland, fine needle aspiration is usually non-diagnostic because most often only follicular cells are obtained and not the fibrous material characteristic of this type of thyroiditis. therefore the diagnosis is often only established by histopathologic study of the surgically obtained biopsy. the illustrated case is a 46-yea...

AIM To investigate the differences of tumor density of lung cancer by CT scan based on histopathologic type of cancer cell. METHODS Subjects were lung cancer patients at Dr. Kariadi hospital Semarang between January 2002 and December 2003. Diagnosis was made based on clinical symptoms, histologic examination and lateral chest radiograph, and thorax CT scan. Density of tumor was measured withi...

Results: Of these patients, 78 presented only 1 histopathologic subtype of lymphomatoid papulosis (64 had type A, 3 had type B, and 11 had type C). The last 7 patients presented more than 1 subtype (1 had A and B, 5 had A and C, and 1 had A, B, and C). Two patients had regional lymphomatoid papulosis, an unusual clinical presentation characterized by groups of lesions localized to 1 anatomic re...
