متن کاملMetabolism of tobacco-specific nitrosamines by cultured rat nasal mucosa.
The metabolism of two nasal carcinogens, N'-nitrosonornicotine (NNN) and 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK), was investigated using cultured nasal septa of F344 rats. The explants were cultured with 14C-labeled N-nitrosamines, and unbound metabolites present in the medium were quantitated by high-performance liquid chromatography.

متن کاملAneurysmal Fibrous Histiocytoma in Nasal Vestibule Mucosa
Aneurysmal fibrous histiocytoma is a different variant of dermatofibroma, characterized by blood-filled spaces within the fibroblastic tumor. In addition to the typical features of a dermatofibroma, it contains large cleft-like or cavernous blood-filled spaces with numerous hemosiderin pigments. This tumor accounts for less than 2% of all fibrous histiocytomas, and it is typically known to occu...
