Hyperplastic cells in subcapsular cell hyperplasia (SCH) lesion in adrenal glands of female IQI/Jic mice were examined by electron microscopy. These cells were small and polygonal, and had irregular nuclei, elongated mitochondria with lamellar cristae and dense lipid droplets. While these cells showed different features, some of them had desmosomes and basement membranes, and a few round mitoch...

Peripheral ossifying fibroma is a reactive lesion arising from periodontal cells in response to local irritation with females second decade of their life are more affected and maxillary anterior region predilection. Clinical appearance erythmatous or pink colour large lesions generally smooth. Lesion usually not exceed 1.5 cm. Underlying bone sometimes shows loacalized erosion. Treatment involv...

Introduction: Fibroepithelial stromal polyp (FESP) of the female lower genital tract is a rare benign lesion characterized by polypoid proliferation of stroma, covered by a benign squamous epithelium in the vulvovaginal region. These hormone-sensitive lesions usually occur in young to middle-aged women. The lesions are typically no larger than 5 cm in diameter and are found randomly during rout...

Formation of multiple fundic gland polyps or hyperplastic in the gastric mucosa is one well-known adverse effects long-term acid suppression therapy for peptic ulcer disease. However, similar phenomenon has not been reported to occur duodenum. We report a case duodenal polypoid lesion that developed after use suppressants and disappeared cessation treatment. The patient was 76-year-old man with...

A newly developed autofluorescence (AF) imaging technique was applied during colonoscopy in a clinical setting. This pilot study was conducted to evaluate the clinical feasibility of applying AF endoscopy for distinguishing colorectal lesions. A total of 54 colorectal mucosal lesions obtained from 43 patients who underwent both white-light and AF endoscopy and were treated by endoscopy or surger...

A 73-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with complaints of tarry stools. He had been receiving warfarin anticoagulant therapy for severe left ventricular dysfunction. Prothrombin time international normalized ratio had been maintained within 2.0-3.0. Esophagogastroduodenalscopy revealed a polypoid lesion about 10 mm in diameter on the greater curvature of the stomach with oozing (Picture...

Transferrin receptor (TR) performs the major function of binding and internalizing its specific iron-loaded ligand, transferrin, and its expression is closely linked to the proliferation status of the cell. This study was undertaken to elucidate TR expression in the hyperplastic lesion of hepatocyte in chemically induced hepatic carcinogenesis. The resistant hepatocyte model was chosen for a ra...

Fibrous hyperplastic connective tissue lesions are common in the oral cavity and may be similar both clinically and histologically. A giant cell fibroma, a type of fibrous hyperplasia, was discovered during a preventive patient visit in the dental hygiene clinic at a Midwestern university. The patient, a 19-year-old female, presented with a dome-shaped lesion of normal mucosal color on the atta...

BACKGROUND/AIM To investigate the relative frequency of biopsied nonneoplastic oral mucosal lesions in Ankara, Turkey. MATERIALS AND METHODS Biopsy records of a single center from 2000-2012 were retrospectively collected. Diagnosis was recorded and evaluated with respect to patient demographics (age, sex) and location of the lesion. RESULTS Of 11,980 biopsies, 1732 (14.5%) were mucosal nonn...
