INTRODUCTION Granular cell tumours of the abdominal wall are extremely rare: less than 10 have been reported in the worldwide medical literature. We report this interesting case, review the relevant literature on this tumour and discuss surgical abdominal wall reconstruction options. CASE PRESENTATION A 70 year old lady presented with a left abdominal mass. This was thought to be a soft tissu...

[1] Granular mass flows of rock fragments are studied in the lab by means of a high-speed video camera at 2000 frames per second. These granular flows are generated using beds of pumice fragments positioned on a rough rotating disk, whose angular velocity is controlled by a motor. The experimental apparatus allows an understanding of the arrangement of the particles in granular mass flows with ...

JOl/maloJ r Five cases of granular cell myoblastoma of the breast are reported, all occurring in Negroes. In none was the correct diagnosis made preoperatively. Because this benign tumour has many features of carcinoma, errors in clinical and n:ammographic assessment may lead to unnecessary ilia tectomy. Thus, a histological diagnosis must be made on every apparently malignant lump before any f...

abstractwe are reporting a 43-year-old female breast cancer case with a solitary metastatic adenocarcinoma in clivus. this patient with a stage ii (t1n1m0) breast cancer history has been followed for 7 years.  modified radical mastectomy (mrm) and 6 courses chemotherapy with cmf (cyclophosphamide, metotrexate, 5fu) regimen were done for her at the time of diagnosis. also, she took tamoxifen twe...

Visual simulation of natural erosion on terrains with granular matter, like sand, soil or gravel has been a fascinating research topic in the field of computer graphics for a long time. Ability of a fluid to drastically change internal structure or external shape of terrain is an important effect in nature. While there are many particle based algorithms to improve process of terrain erosion, on...

Introduction:There is considerable amount of controversy about the long term effects of multiparity and duration of breast-feeding on maternal bone mineral density after menopause. This study was conducted to determine whether multiple pregnancy and prolonged duration of breast-feeding are independent predictors of low bone mass in post-menopausal Kurdish women. M...

While carcinoma of breast is common condition, stromal sarcomas are rare tumors of breast, amongst which fibrosarcoma accounts for 16% of cases. Only a few case reports are available in the international literature. We report a case of fibrosarcoma of breast, which presented as an un-encapsulated mass in the right breast of a 60-year-old female. This case was diagnosed after exclusion of all po...

Background: Breast cancer is the most common cancer found in women, and screening is the best way to make an early diagnosis. The aim of this study was to determine the rate of screening mammography and related variables in the mammography center of Mousavi Hospital, located in Zanjan, Iran. Methods: This was a prospective descriptive study. Study sample size was 526 women who were selected by...
