Clinicopathological studies on thymoma.

Thymoma: a clinicopathological comparative study of 25 cases.

We reviewed 25 patients with thymoma for clinical symptoms at presentation, X-ray findings and outcome. The tumours of all patients were classified using 3 different pathologic classification systems and each system was evaluated for its predictive power with respect to survival. The recent classification system by Müller-Hermelink allowed to distinguish thymomas with associated systemic syndro...

Clinicopathological features of type AB thymoma with liver metastases.

OBJECTIVE We studied the clinicopathological features of type AB thymoma with liver metastases and explore the histological types, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, treatment and prognosis for this disease. METHODS Liver metastasis specimens were derived from one case of type AB thymoma 5 years after operation and were examined histologically using light microscopy and immunohistochemistr...

[Clinicopathological and experimental studies on thyroiditis].

[Studies on the estrogen receptor in human meningioma and thymoma].

The cytoplasmic estrogen receptor was measured in 9 intracranial meningiomas and 8 thymomas. The binding affinities of the estrogen receptor derived from the tumors to various estrogens and antiestrogens were compared with that observed for the receptor from rat normal uterus. The cytoplasmic progesterone receptor was measured concomitantly. The estrogen receptor was positive in 4 and 3 cases o...

Electroencephalographic and clinicopathological studies on Creutzfeldt-Jakob syndrome.

The correlation between the appearance of the characteristic electroencephalographic abnormality, cardinal clinical manifestations, and neuropathological features was studied in four cases of Creutzfeldt-Jakob syndrome consisting of subacute spongiform encephalopathy and classical Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Consideration is given to the differences in the electroencephalographic findings betwee...
