introduction eccrine poroma is a benign neoplasm thought to derived from eccrine sweat glands. recently, studies have shown wide distribution of eccrine poroma, including acral, face, and abdomen forms. case presentation we reported a 65-years-old woman with rapidly growing 5-cm ulcerative eccrine poroma with active bleeding since one year prior to presentation. conclusions although rapid growt...

Background of study: International treatment guidelines dedicated to children and adolescents are not yet established, hence need for such studies like ours is required throw light on demographic variations ovarian tumors developing specific their management. Materials Methods: It a descriptive longitudinal study undertaken in the Department Obstetrics &Gynaecology from Feb 2018 July 2019. ...

BACKGROUND Mixed epithelial and stromal tumour (MEST) represents a recently described benign composite neoplasm of the kidney, which predominantly affects perimenopausal females. Most tumours are benign, although rare malignant cases have been observed. CASE REPORT A 47-year-old postmenopausal female presented to the urologist with flank pain. A CT scan of the abdomen showed a 30-mm-in-diamet...

Expression of RCAS1 (receptor-binding cancer antigen expressed on SiSo cells) is associated with advanced disease of various malignancies including ovarian cancer. Proteolytic cleavage of RCAS1 at extracellular domains (ectodomain shedding) yields soluble RCAS1. Although RCAS1 can induce apoptosis in normal peripheral lymphocytes, its clinical significance and biologic function in ovarian cance...

background and objective: ovarian tumors are among the most frequent pathologic conditions in gynecologic practice and a frequent cause of hospitalization and surgery. the aim of this study was to determine histologic distribution of benign operated masses especially functional ovarian cysts. material and methods: benign ovarian files of operated patients (2961 cases) in 20 tertiary and seconda...

Background: Ovarian neoplasm is one of the most complex tumours of women in terms of histogenesis, clinical behaviour and malignant potentiality and is the third most common cancer of female genital tract. Estrogen and progesterone hormones and their receptors are thought to be involved in process of tumour genesis in ovarian cancers. The objective of this study was to evaluate histopathology o...

The most cancer-specific biomarkers in blood are likely to be proteins shed directly by the tumor rather than less specific inflammatory or other host responses. The use of xenograft mouse models together with in-depth proteome analysis for identification of human proteins in the mouse blood is an under-utilized strategy that can clearly identify proteins shed by the tumor. In the current study...

dear editor-in-chief   pilomatrixoma is a benign tumor of hair follicle first described as calcifying epithelium (1). it accounts for 1% of all the benign skin tumors (2). it is a slow-growing, firm, dermal or subcutaneous neoplasm, usually measuring fewer than 3 cm in diameter. pilomatricomas are considered benign; rarely recur after surgical excision (3). however, cases of pilomatrixoma with ...

Acanthosis nigricans is a common dermatosis and is most often associated with benign conditions, such as insulin resistance. It is rare as a paraneoplastic marker. As such, it is characterized by sudden onset and rapid dissemination of velvety and hyperchromic skin lesions. The term "tripe palm" refers to exaggeration of the palmar ridge pattern, which resembles the internal surface of the bovi...
