Diffuse follicular variant papillary thyroid carcinoma (DFVPTC) is a rare variant papillary thyroid carcinoma. DFVPTC typically occurs in young females, extensively involves one lobe or both lobes entirely with frequent nodal metastasis and vascular invasion. In contrast to the other subtypes of follicular variant, DFVPTC has biologically aggressive behavior. We present a case of DFVPTC arising...

Intravenous immunization of New Zealand red rabbits with streptococcal group-specific bacterial vaccines yielded sera which possessed markedly elevated gamma-globulin. The sera of one rabbit immunized with Group A-variant vaccine possessed 55 mg/ml of gamma-globulin. The bulk of this gamma-globulin, identified as gamma(G)-globulin, was homogeneous by zone electrophoresis and of specificity dire...

BACKGROUND Diffuse dermal angiomatosis is rare and usually considered a variant of reactive angioendotheliomatosis. It generally involves the extremities of patients with severe vascular disease and other comorbidities. Two patients with breast involvement have been described; however, neither had a relevant medical history or a vaso-occlusive disorder, but both had large pendulous breasts, and...

Cell-mediated immunity to skin extracts was studied by the macrophage migration inhibition test, lymphocyte transformation, and direct cytotoxicity to skin fibroblasts, in normal individuals and patients with progressive systemic sclerosis. The latter included 18 individuals with diffuse scleroderma and 12 with the CREST syndrome, a variant form of systemic sclerosis in which there is more limi...

AIMS To assess whether standard and variant isoforms of CD44 (CD44s, CD44v5, and CD44v6) have a differential expression profile in early versus advanced gastric adenocarcinoma of the diffuse and intestinal types and their metastases. METHODS Immunohistochemical expression of CD44s, CD44v5, and CD44v6 was evaluated in 14 early gastric cancers (nine intestinal and five diffuse) and 37 advanced ...
