Introduction: Calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC) is a benign cystic type of tumor, without neoplastic character and unusual in nature. Its development slow asymptomatic, being characterized by mass that affects the maxilla mandible. Case Report: A 40-year-old male presented with mild extra intraoral facial swelling region right upper incisors, symptoms. On examination, he observed intact normal ...

The calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT) is a rare benign epithelial odontogenic neoplasm of slow growth that is locally aggressive and tends to invade bone and adjacent soft tissue. Here is reported the case of a 21-year-old female patient with a CEOT in the left mandibular posterior region. The computerized tomography in coronal plane revealed a hypodense lesion in the posterior reg...

Intramucosal gastric tumours are most commonly found to be gastrointestinal stromal tumours or leiomyomas (smooth muscle tumours); however, a variety of other uncommon mesenchymal tumours can occur in the stomach wall. A rare benign calcifying fibrous tumour is reported and the endoscopic appearance, ultrasound findings and morphology are documented. A review of the literature found only two si...

Calcifying fibrous tumor (CFT) is benign mesenchymal lesion. CFTs of the GI tract are quite rare with less than 60 cases gastric reported in English literature. In a healthy 49 old female, routine Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) revealed an internally isoechoic, homogeneous 12mm lesion mainly within submucosa distal body stomach no significant past history. An endoscopic submucosal dissection ...

Calcifying fibrous tumor (CFT) is a benign lesion characterized by its specific histological findings and is found as solitary or multiple lesions in several locations of the human body. The aim of the present systematic review is to give a detailed account of all reported cases of CFT in the literature and to analyze the available data, to completely characterize the entity from epidemiologica...

Cutaneous calcium deposition can occur in long-term inflammation. The deposition of calcium in long-standing acne may produce either small pigmented nodules or no visible lesions. The former type is or no visible lesions. The former type is much less common, with the nodules containing particulate spheres of mineral which probably represent true osteomas. Both types of calcification can be demo...

A BENIGN calcifying epithelioma is a subcutaneous tumour, first described by Malherbe and Chenantais (1880), who called it l'epitheliome calcifie des glandes sebacees. Malherbe (1881, 1905) added more details, but only four examples of such tumours have been reported in the ophthalmic literature (Ashton, 1951; Kornblueth and Liban, 1955). Histological examination of material from the Radcliffe ...

BACKGROUND The accelerated proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is a contributor for atherosclerosis by thickening the vascular wall. Since zinc modulation of VSMC proliferation has not been clarified, this study investigated whether zinc affects VSMC proliferation. METHODS AND RESULTS Both a rat aorta origin vascular smooth muscle cell line (A7r5 VSMCs) and primary VSMCs whi...
