Background & Objective: Most colorectal cancers (CRCs) arise from adenomatous polyps, and clinical management of this type of polyp is highly dependent on the reliability and validity of the pathological diagnosis. The aim of this study was to examine the interobserver agreement of five pathologists in assessing dysplasia in adenomatous polyps. Methods: I...

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a group of hereditary diseases, which are autosomal recessive. CAH occurs due to defect in one of the cortisol coding genes and often clinically presents itself with signs of androgen overproduction. In this article, we report a case of CAH and Schmid metaphyseal dysplasia. Our literature review indicated that this report is the first attempt on CYP11B1 a...

Fibrous dysplasia is a benign bone disease first described by Lichtenstein in 1938. It is characterized by progressive replacement of normal bone with fibro-osseous connective tissue. When the disease involves craniofacial skeleton, it results in significant disfigurement and other functional problems. This paper reports a case of large craniofacial fibrous dysplasia involving zygomaticomaxilla...

Animal models of colitis, which develop dysplasia and cancer similar to human ulcerative colitis are needed to further investigate the dysplasia cancer sequence. This study describes the expression of B-catenin and p53 along with the histopathology and inflammation scores as they relate to dysplasia and cancer in the dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) colitis model. Swiss Webster mice were fed with 5...

Numerous tools and techniques such as vital stain, autofluorescence, exfoliative cytology, histomorphometry, etc. were explored in the detection of dysplasia, but have variable sensitivity specificity. The present study evaluated effect toluidine blue increasing accuracy histomorphometry analysis dysplasia OPMDs on cytology. An experimental, observational, cross-sectional research was performed...

larsen syndrome is a skeletal dysplasia (osteochondro-dysplasia) in which multiple dislocations of the large joints are the major feature . nosology in this group of disease, which constitutes 8% of mendelian disorders in man, is primarily based on clinical and radiological features. the underlying genetic defect is 3p21.1-p14.1 in the dominant type

  A 29- year old female with bone pain and history of precocious puberty was referred for bone scintigraphy. On physical examination café au lait macular spots were noted on her neck, buttocks and left leg. Bone scan showed multiple areas of intense increased activity which was in favour of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia. Considering the presence of polyostotic fibrous...

Leukoplakias (LPLs) are lesions in the oral mucosa that may develop into oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). The objective of this study was to assess presence and distribution of dendritic Langerhans cells (LCs) and T cells in patients with LPLs with or without cell dysplasia and in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Biopsy specimens from patients with leukoplakias (LPLs) with or without dy...

OBJECTIVES Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is often described as a benign disease. However, the natural progression of dysplasia and transformation to squamous cell carcinoma has not been elucidated for RRP. This study delineates our extensive experience with dysplasia in RRP. STUDY DESIGN/SETTING Case series with chart review. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Demographic data and surgical p...

Among oral lesions, we encounter a series of malignant epithelial lesions that go through clinical and histopathologic processes in order to be diagnosed. Identifying these processes along with the etiology knowledge of these lesions is very important in prevention and early treatments. Dysplasia is the step preceding the formation of squamous cell carcinoma in lesions which have the potential ...
