the histopathologic diagnosis of orbital and ocular adnexal lymphoproliferative lesions is difficult, resulting controversy in classification, determining benignity or malignancy of them and treatment modality selection. we designed the following study to evaluate clinical, histopathologic and if necessary immunochemical features of them in decreasing indeterminate cases. the study includes 51 ...

The objective of the study was to evaluate the role of ultrasound in diagnosis of adnexal pathologies. The ultrasound findings were correlated with per-operative & histo-pathological findings. The study was prospective and was carried out between March 2014 to August 2014 at the Department of Radiology, P.D.U. Govt. Medical College and Civil Hospital, Rajkot. Abdominal ultrasound & Doppler stud...

A woman with known adnexal transposition for carcinoma of the cervix presented with abdominopelvic pain. The previously known complications of adnexal transposition are discussed and the first description of isolated torsion of the fallopian tube is presented.

Objective: To evaluate the adnexal masses with conventional gray scale and color Doppler flow imaging and to assess their diagnostic reliability to differentiate benign and malignant adnexal masses. Materials and methods: We evaluated 30 patients with adnexal mass. Morphological characterization of the mass was done using Sassone score. Color Doppler parameters noted down in each patient and Ca...

The microcystic adnexal carcinoma is a rare, locally aggressive malignant adnexal neoplasm associated with significant morbidity. It is often underdiagnosed due to clinical and histopathological resemblance with other cutaneous neoplasms and/or a combination of lack of familiarity associated with inadequate samples. We report a case with clinical hypothesis of scarring alopecia and histopatholo...

BACKGROUND The present study was conducted to assess whether midkine (MK), a multifunctional molecule known to stimulate tumor growth, may be involved in the development of endometriosis. METHODS The mitogenic activity of MK on cultured endometriotic stromal cells was examined by measuring 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation. Concentrations of MK in the peritoneal fluid (PF) of women...

We investigated the organization of the immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) and the T cell receptor beta chain (T beta) gene loci in 20 ocular adnexal and four extraocular lymphoid neoplasms obtained from 18 patients presenting with an ocular adnexal lymphoid neoplasm. Fifteen ocular adnexal and four extraocular lymphoid neoplasms occurring in 13 patients were classified by morphological examinati...

Background. Diagnosing adnexal tumours of the skin is a challenge due to their wide variety, infrequent occurrence in practice, and confusing morphological picture. Aims and Objectives. The present study aims to observe the spectrum of adnexal tumours at our institute and to evaluate them based on histomorphological, histochemical, and immunohistochemical methods either alone or in combination ...

Extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is a distinct form of malignant skin neoplasm. The clinicopathological significance of cutaneous adnexal involvement in EMPD has not been investigated in detail. Surgical specimens were obtained from 53 patients with primary EMPD. Tumor involvement of cutaneous adnexal structures was evaluated using histological parameters. The degree of involvement was score...

INTRODUCTION Adnexal torsion is a rare cause of acute abdominal pain during pregnancy. The clinical and laboratory findings are non-specific. In this paper we present a case of adnexal torsion in the first trimester of pregnancy. CASE OUTLINE On admission, the patient presented signs of acute abdomen.The pain started few hours prior to admission, and was predominantly localized, occasionally ...
