Fibroepithelial polyps (FEPs) are rarely seen lesions of the lower female genital tract with polypoid proliferations of stroma. These tumors usually present in the vulvovaginal region of the reproductive aged women. In this presentation, we report a case of a psoriatic woman who developed unusual multiple polypoid lesions approximately 15 cm in size arising from both left and right labia minora...

There is increasing evidence for genetic heterogeneity in tuberous sclerosis (TSC) on the basis of linkage analysis in affected kindreds. We have performed a detailed assessment of an affected South African family in which there is no evidence of linkage to chromosome 9 markers. The affected persons have atypical clinical features, namely prominent nuchal skin tags, a confetti pattern of hypopi...

Vulval involvement in Crohn's disease (CD) is rare, particularly in children. The clinical features include erythema, edema, ulceration, and labial skin tags. The authors present two cases of children with vulval CD. In both cases, marked labial edema was the presenting feature. In one patient the immunomodulator tacrolimus ointment 0.03% was used with success. In the second patient control was...

Ureteric tumours are rare and most of them are malignant. Of benign tumours, ureteral fibroepithelial polyps are the most common but are still considered clinical rarities. In the past, most benign ureteric tumours were only diagnosed after surgical removal. With technological advance, magnetic resonance imaging has become an effective means of assessing ureteric lesions. Non-contrast enhanced ...

a major function of the enterocytes is absorption, processing, and export of dietary lipids into the lymphatic system. pluronic l-81 is a non-ionic hydrophobic surfactant, which specifically inhibits lipid absorption in the intestine when administered in vivo. this compound is therefore an attractive probe to perturb and investigate the molecular and intracellular events in chylomicron assembly...
