Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is a vascular tumor with an intermediate malignant potential. This tumor is very rare in the lung parenchyma, and most of the previously reported cases have been asymptomatic. There is no standard therapy for this tumor and prognosis in the previous reports has been variable. Herein we report our experience with a 60-year-old woman presenting with hemoptysis and...

Bacillary dysentery caused by infection with Shigella spp. remains as serious and common health problem throughout the world. It is a highly multi drug resistant organism and rarely identified from the patient at the early stage of infection. S. sonnei is the most frequently isolated species causing shigellosis in industrialized countries. The antigenicity of outer membrane protein of this path...

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma was coined by Enzinger and Weiss in 1880 to define an intermediate group of vascular neoplasm.1 The tumor is composed of epithelioid or histiocytoid endothelial cells. It commonly occurs in lungs, liver, bone, and presents as a soft tissue mass. Intracranial occurrences are very rare and cavernous sinus is an unusual site. To the best of our knowledge, we found ...

(three ampoules daily) without any improvement and the condition of the girl was becoming worse. On the 30th I was called in to attend the case and found her in the following condition:? Marked prostration, temperature?between 99.6?F. and 102.8?F. Pulse?rapid and of low tension. Stools passed at frequent intervals with great tenesmus, mixed with blood and mucus of greenish colour. As there were...

ccecal infection, a lymphoid type of blood with a bacillary infection, and a lymphoid plus large mononuclear type with a protozoal infection." These varieties are further explained in subsequent chapters. The characteristics of some varieties of Anaemia are then indicated, and the blood picture of malignant disease with its utility in the differentiation from non-malignant conditions is conside...

The suitability of the FTA® elute card for the collection of slit skin smear (SSS) samples for PCR detection of Mycobacterium leprae was evaluated. A total of 192 SSS leprosy samples, of bacillary index (BI) 1 to 5, were collected from patients attending two skin clinics in Myanmar and preserved using both FTA® elute cards and 70% ethanol tubes. To compare the efficacy of PCR detection of DNA f...

Leiomyosarcoma of the uterus is a malignant tumor arising from the smooth muscle of the uterus. It is a rare tumor with an incidence as low as 2%-5% of all uterine malignancies. Besides the conventional type, one of the important variants includes the epithelioid leiomyosarcoma which is by itself a rare subtype of leiomyosarcoma. The precise diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma is essential since it has...

Rochalimaea henselae causes persistent bacteremia, bacillary angiomatosis, and parenchymal bacillary peliosis. Detection of a specific antibody response to R. henselae infection may represent an alternative to cultivation as a means of diagnosis. We assessed the specificity of induced murine antibodies for antigens from R. henselae and the closely related species R. quintana. Groups of CD-1 mic...

Angiomatosis, a pathology that may occur in any soft tissue, is typically characterized by vascular proliferation and invasion of adjacent tissues. Although it described as benign lesion, can be challenging malignancy treatment follow-up due to its rich structure frequent recurrence. Here, we present rare case chest wall angiomatosis 46-year-old female patient treated with surgical excision.
