Poroma is a rare benign neoplasm that derives from eccrine sweat glands epithelium. Its histological subtypes, with respect to its position within skin layers, are eccrine poroma, hidroacanthoma simplex, poroid hidradenoma, and dermal duct tumor. Poromas commonly exhibit benign clinical behavior as they are usually small and asymptomatic and do not exhibit malignant behavior. Although their his...

Polypore fungi are an important group of wood-inhabiting basidiomycetes that have significant roles in biomass recycling in forests and woodland ecosystems. Figures on the polypore diversity in Iran have been partly made available through few checklists, but there have been no comparative studies on the pattern of geographic distribution of the species. The prevalence of the Mediterranean biocl...

This review describes biologically active natural products displaying antitumor activities derived from fruit bodies and cultured mycelium of macromycetes. Among these compounds the most important are: polisaccharides, phenols, terpenes and others. Polysaccharides produce their antitumor effects by activating different immune responses in the host. Other compounds are examples of cytotoxic and ...

Enlarged eccrine porocarcinoma of the knee was encountered as a hemorrhagic bulky tumor. After controlling bleeding with Mohs' paste, local excision of the lesion was the mainstay of treatment. Pathological examination revealed poroid cells, cuticle cells, and prickle cells cancer components, suggesting that malignancy must be excluded by resection.

The objective of this work is to contribute the knowledge superior mushrooms used in traditional medicine Daloa. study was carried out using ethnomycological survey forms from 100 practitioners city Among these practitioners, 70 people use macromycetes formulation their remedies. investigations concerned sex, age and pathologies treated. results identified five macromycetes. They are : Volvarie...

This thesis deals with taxonomy of certain white-rot polypores placed for the most part in the genera Antrodiella, Cinereomyces, Junghuhnia and Steccherinum. With DNA-based phylogenetic analyses and morphological studies I and my co-authors showed that concepts of those genera and species within them need a major revision. Species of Antrodiella belong to at least 13 different genera, within Po...

Two species of cultivated Phellinus sp. were identified as P. baumii by internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequence analysis. The fruit bodies of the examined strains were similar to those of naturally occurring strains, having a bracket-like form, yellow-to-orange color, and poroid hymenial surfaces. The DNA sequences of ITS region of both strains showed a homology of 99% with ITS1 to ITS2 sequ...
