spindle cell neoplasms are defined as neoplasms that consist of spindle-shaped cells in the histopathology. spindle cell neoplasms can affect the oral cavity. in the oral cavity, the origin of the spindle cell neoplasms may be traced to epithelial, mesenchymal and odontogenic components. this article aims to review the spindle cell neoplasms of the oral cavity with emphasis on histopathology.  ...

We report an18-year-old girl with a four-year history of a slow-growing labial mass with a sudden increase in size in the last year. Examination revealed a large fleshy 20 cm perineal mass centering on the left labia majora and attached to it by a 1cm pedicle. It was associated with pain, ulceration and discharge. The lesion was excised via diathermy at the base of the stalk. The excised specim...

Giant acrochordon or fibroepithelial stromal polyps usually occur in middle aged women, and present more commonly in vagina than cervix or vulva. They are generally 2-5 mm in size and, large vulvo-vaginal acrochordons are rare and will require histopathological examination for definitive diagnosis. We are presenting a case of 8x5 cm giant vulval acrochordon.

Breast phyllodes tumour (PT) is a rare fibroepithelial tumour. The genetic alterations contributing to its tumorigenesis are largely unknown. To identify genomic regions involved in pathogenesis and progression of PTs we obtained genome-wide copy number profiles by array comparative genomic hybridization (CGH).DNA was isolated from fresh-frozen tissue samples. 11 PTs and 3 fibroadenomas, a freq...

Background: Fibroepithelial tumours of the breast are mainly fibroadenoma and phyllodes tumour. Our objective was to describe clinical pathological features benign fibroepithelial then compare our findings with reports from other parts world. Methods: We carried out a retrospective study all diagnosed in Department Morbid Anatomy Forensic Medicine Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals C...
