Tumours of Lymphoid Tissue

TUMOURS of Iymphoid tissue can provide some of the most difficult problems in diagnosis for the surgical pathologist. The difficulty is often not only classification but the recognition of tumours from the varied responses of lymphoid tissue to various disease stimu,li. Many pathologists will, therefore, welcome a monograph, which is based on a review of 410 cases seen at the Westminster Hospit...

Lymphoid and epithelial markers in small cell anaplastic thyroid tumours.

The expression of the lymphoid marker, common leucocyte antigen and of the epithelial marker, epithelial membrane antigen by small cell anaplastic thyroid tumours was studied in 53 tumours, using the peroxidase--antiperoxidase and avidin--biotin techniques. Common leucocyte antigen was found in 33 of the 53 tumours; six tumours were positive for epithelial membrane antigen; and the remaining 14...

Radiotherapy techniques for intracranial tumours

ABSTRACTIntracranial tumours often require radiotherapeutic approaches that differ from other sites. Their specific requirements merit a specialized discussion. A brief review of radiotherapy techniques to treat intracranial tumours is presented with emphasis on the author’s own experience and work, where appropriate. A clinical introduction is presented first followed by a description of bot...

While the overall incidence of liver tumors is rare, the liver remains the third most common organ of origin for solid abdominal tumors in the pediatric population [3]. The majority of pediatric liver tumors, both benign and malignant, occur (almost) exclusively in children....
