Microcystic serous cystadenoma is a benign tumor of pancreas, also termed as Clear cell or Glycogen rich adenoma. It occurs at any site in pancreas and composed of small cystic spaces lined by small cuboidal cells with clear cytoplasm, glycogen. There is an association with von Hippel Lindau syndrome in few cases. Clinical symptoms are variable. Excision is almost curative. We report a case of ...

Microcystic meningioma is a distinct morphological variant of meningioma, characterized by loose texture and microcysts with formation of large extracellular spaces containing edematous fluid. The tumor cells have stellate and vacuolated cytoplasm with long cytoplasmic processes. We experienced a case of typical microcystic meningioma occurring in the falx cerebri adjacent to the left superior ...

SUMMARY We report a rare case of a large facial microcystic adnexal carcinoma in an elderly patient who underwent several rounds of excision. The patient was left with a large facial defect and remaining positive margins. The decision was made to stop further excision and proceed with reconstructive surgery. We show that the patient's function and quality of life were not impeded despite recons...

Tumours of the nervous system are rare in wild and captive mammals. In this report, we describe an intracranial, solid, space-occupying lesion originating from meninges a Nilgai antelope (Boselaphus tragocamelus). Histologically, tumour had conspicuous microcystic appearance with features similar to histological subtype meningioma described humans. This is first such reported species.

background: microcystic adnexal tumor is a rare sclerosing variant of ductal carcinoma of eccrine sweat glands which is highly invasive. this tumor is often misdiagnosed as other benign or malignant skin lesions and improper treatment is carried on and is associated with high recurrence rate. case presentation: we reported here in a 59-years old man who underwent incisional biopsy for a ongenit...

PATIENTS Twenty-one consecutive patients (11 male and 10 female) undergoing LM treatment. INTERVENTIONS Clinical data (ie, age, clinical LM stage, radiographic appearance, and histologic findings) were ...

Sir, a potentially new sign in multiple sclerosis was described in Brain (Gelfland et al., 2012). This new sign, microcystic macular oedema, is intriguing because it is considered to indicate breakdown of the blood-retinal barrier with or without microglial inflammation (Gelfland et al., 2012). There are earlier reports on vascular instability and leakage during inflammation in multiple scleros...
