Smooth-muscle tumours of the alimentary tract.
Smooth muscle tumors (SMT) of the alimentary tract are uncommon. A series of 32 cases (16 leiomyomas and 16 leiomyosarcomas) are presented. The most common presenting clinical signs are bleeding or obstruction. These are caused mainly by degenerative changes within the lesion or its enlargement. The endoluminal SMT cause symptoms early and are more easily detectable. However, the extraluminal S...

The occurrence of dipterous larvae in man is hinted at (nothing more) under the heading diptera, in the Encyclopaedia Britannica. I had e...
متن کاملColorectal mesenchymal tumors - from smooth muscle tumors to stromal tumors.
Colorectal mesenchymal tumors are rare. Therefore, distinguishing between gastrointestinal stromal (GIST) and smooth muscle tumors is important. This study aimed to delineate the immunophenotype and prognostic factors of 75 colorectal mesenchymal tumors. Fifty-three GIST and 22 smooth muscle tumor specimens were included from 1986 to 2007. Forty of 53 GIST were initially diagnosed as smooth mus...
متن کاملThe larval alimentary canal of the Antarctic insect, Belgica antarctica.
On the Antarctica continent the wingless midge, Belgica antarctica (Diptera, Chironomidae) occurs further south than any other insect. The digestive tract of the larval stage of Belgica that inhabits this extreme environment and feeds in detritus of penguin rookeries has been described for the first time. Ingested food passes through a foregut lumen and into a stomodeal valve representing an in...
