Non-epithelial malignancies of the ovary account for 10% of all ovarian cancers. Germ cell tumors (GCTs) are diagnosed principally in young subjects whereas sex cord stromal tumors (SCSTs) are more common in adult women. GCTs represent 5% of all ovarian neoplasms and 80% of preadolescent malignant ovarian tumors. Sex cord stromal tumors are rare neoplasms that account for 3–5 % of ovarian malig...

Struma ovarii, as a monodermal variant of ovarian teratoma, constitutes about less than 3% of ovarian teratomas. It is difficult to be macroscopically recognized. Multiple appearances under microscope serve as another reason to mislead the accurate pathologic evaluation. Here, we report an unusual case of struma ovarii occurred in a 77 years old woman, which is currently known as the oldest age...

BACKGROUND The study of neoplasia in wildlife species contributes to the understanding of cancer biology, management practices, and comparative pathology. Higher frequencies of neoplasms among captive non-domestic felids have been reported most commonly in aging individuals. However, testicular tumours have rarely been reported. This report describes a metastatic testicular sex cord-stromal tum...

BACKGROUND Perinatal asphyxia is associated with cardiac dysfunction. This may be secondary to myocardial ischaemia. Cardiac troponin T is the ideal marker for myocardial necrosis. Elevated levels in cord blood may be associated with intrauterine hypoxia and increased perinatal morbidity. AIMS To establish an upper limit of normal for cardiac troponin T concentration in the cord blood of infa...
