We report our experience with a unilateral congenital dislocation of the knee associated with a developmental dysplasia of the hip on the same side. Our case is a good example of congenital dislocation of the knee caused by abnormal intrauterine pressure leading to this type of congenital postural deformity. To our knowledge this is the first case of congenital dislocation of the knee reported ...

Thirty-five specimens from total laryngopharyngectomy clinically diagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma of the pyriform sinus were studied. Patients receiving chemotherapy or radiotherapy were excluded. Pathological examinations revealed 26 (74.3%) precancerous lesions and early carcinoma of the pyriform sinus. Eight out of 26 cases were detected by gross examination. Most pathological findings w...

background & aim: pap smear is a screening procedure for cervical cancer. the incidence and mortality rate of cervical cancer has decreased up to 90% in the regular screening in women aged 20-65 years. this study aimed to investigate the pap smear reports of pathology laboratories in ahvaz, iran. methods: in this cross-sectional study, 1,006 pap smear reports were collected from pathology labor...

INTRODUCTION Women living with HIV (WLWH) are reportedly at increased risk of invasive cervical cancer (ICC). WLWH in Denmark attend the National ICC screening program less often than women in the general population. We aimed to estimate the incidence of cervical dysplasia and ICC in WLWH in Denmark. METHODS We studied a nationwide cohort of WLWH and a cohort of age-matched females from the g...

A new tumor-associated antigen, MN, has been shown to be expressed in virtually all cervical carcinomas and the majority of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, but not in normal cervices (S. Y. Liao et al., Am. J. Pathol., 145: 598-609, 1994). Therefore, we postulated that the exfoliative cells in cervical Papanicolaou (Pap) smears would reflect the MN immunoreactivity seen in the tissue sectio...

The outlook for elimination of the scourge of cervical cancer is bright, because we now have the tools to achieve this goal. In recent years human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination in high-income countries has resulted in dramatic decreases in HPV infection and associated cervical disease. If all countries with a substantial burden of disease introduce the vaccine nationally, we can protect the ...

Simultaneous occurrence of early microinvasive endometrioid adenocarcinoma (EMEA) and CIN 3 in the uterine cervix is very rare in Japan. A 32-year-old Japanese woman was pointed out to have atypical cells in the cervical cytology. Colposcopic examination revealed irregular lesions in the cervix, and a biopsy showed simultaneous EMEA and CIN3. The EMEA was grade I and CIN3 corresponded to severe...

Lugol's iodine staining (Lugol-staining) has been widely used to detect malignant changes in the cervix uteri and esophagus. However, pathological and histochemical changes in the border between Lugol-stained and -unstained areas in oral epithelial dysplastia and malignant lesions are not well understood. We examined the histological appearance of 20 cases of epithelial dysplasia surrounding sq...
