Drug eruptions are among the most common inflammatory diseases of the skin and also among those biopsied most often. Yet, the value of histopathologic examination of drug eruptions has often been disputed. One reason is that the spectrum of histopathologic changes in drug eruptions is broad. Nevertheless, each histopathologic pattern assumed by drug eruptions has a limited number of differentia...

PURPOSE Peripheral T-cell lymphoma, unspecified (PTCL-U) comprises histopathologically and clinically heterogeneous groups. The purpose of this study was to identify subgroups with distinct genetic, histopathologic, and prognostic features. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We used array comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) for high-resolution analysis of 51 PTCL-U patients and the array data for examin...

Main Outcome Measure: Frequency of dermoscopic patterns within the different histopathologic subtypes of Spitz nevi. Results: Overlapping clinical, dermoscopic, and histopathologic findings were observed among PSN, RN, and PSRN, thereby justifying their inclusion into the single PSRN diagnostic category. Asymmetry was the most frequent indicator of histopathologic ASN (79%; n=11); in only 4 cas...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Treatment of cutaneous melanoma involves surgical excision with wide clinical margins. No guidelines regarding safe histopathologic margin distance exist. This study examines the impact of histopathologic margin, measured from closest cut edge of the specimen, on overall survival in resection of cutaneous melanoma of the head and neck. We hypothesize that close histopathol...

conclusions any discrepancy between histopathologic changes in time-zero biopsies and pattern of early liver laboratory alterations may be considered as a warning for causes other than pri. objectives the aim of this study was to show the correlation between histopathologic changes of pri and the alterations in liver tests in the early post-transplantation period. materials and methods between ...

We recently treated a patient who presented with hyperpigmented longitudinal stripe of the thumb nailbed which was biopsied histopathologic diagnosis onychopapilloma. have not seen o...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The vertical sleeve gastrectomy is quickly becoming a preferred bariatric operation. There is a dearth of published data about histopathologic changes in the specimens of morbidly obese patients, especially sleeve patients. The aim of this study is to add more data about the characteristics of the resected gastric specimens to the published literature. METHODS A pros...

PURPOSE To identify histopathologic features predictive for adverse allograft outcomes following penetrating keratoplasty for herpes simplex virus (HSV) keratitis. METHODS Retrospective, interventional case series of 62 consecutive patients with HSV keratitis who underwent penetrating keratoplasty at the Kellogg Eye Center from 1990 through 2000. A detailed chart review and review of the hist...

Objective. To determine the long-term histopathologic changes in nasal mucosa and the relationship between progression of the histopathologic changes and the duration without air current stimulation. Material and Method. Biopsies were taken from the inferior turbinates of 11 laryngeal cancer patients after total laryngectomy. Specimens were stained with hematoksilen-eosin and several histopatho...
