Primary cerebral rhabdomyosarcomas are very rare and malignant tumors that occur predominantly in the posterior fossa of pediatric patients. We report a rare case of primary cerebral rhabdomyosarcoma located in the supratentorial compartment of a 51 year-old woman together with a review of the pertinent Literature especially regarding the histological diagnosis and pitfalls.

INTRODUCTION Comparability and Quality Control in Cancer Registration remains an essential component of standardisation of cancer incidence data. The information provided by registries is used as a base-line data for cancer control and cancer research. As such misleading information will encourage fictious cancer patterns with over or under registration of some cancer sites. METHODOLOGY The r...

The purpose of this study was to develop a more efficient fluorescent microsphere method to facilitate the rapid use of the histological technique and to enable its use in large tissue regions. Using fluorescent plate/slide imaging technology and automated detection and analysis software, we were able to rapidly image, detect, and count 3 separate microsphere colors in 200 microm thick tissue s...

BACKGROUND Micronuclei (MN) in oral exfoliative cells have been shown to indicate a disparaging change in genetic information of the cell. Recent studies showed correlation between the frequency of MN and severity of this damage. Grading of lesions can be used to determine the austerity of this damage. Aims: The aim of this study is to compare the MN frequency in oral exfoliated cells of normal...

Buxus wallichiana Baill, belongs to family Buxaceae. Traditionally Buxus wallichiana is used as bittertonic, diaphoretic, anti-rheumatic, vermifuge, antihelmentic, analgesic, purgative, diuretic, antiepileptic, antileprotic and in hemorrhoids. Th is paper deals with the macroscopic, microscopic and powdered studies of Buxus wallichiana wood, along with this physical constants like ash values an...

PURPOSE To determine the histological and biomechanical characteristics of glycerol-preserved human sclera. METHODS A total of 114 paired human sclerae were cleaned and preserved with 98% glycerol under refrigeration at 4 to 8 degrees C. The samples were divided into a control group with no preservation and 5 groups of 19 sclerae in 7, 15, 30, 90 and 180 days of preservation. Each specimen wa...

AIM OF THE STUDY To determine the significance of expression of synaptophysin, chromogranin A, and Ki-67 and their association with clinicopathological parameters, and to find out the possible prognostic factors in gastric neuroendocrine carcinoma (G-NEC). MATERIAL AND METHODS We investigated the immunohistochemical features and prognosis of 62 G-NECs, and evaluated the association among expr...

From September 2001 to December 2004, 25 patients underwent a Fontan procedure using tissue-engineered vasculature (TEV) under informed consent and institutional review board approval [1]. Six of these 25 patients died, although no graft-related mortality occurred. The case presented herein is the first case in which the family agreed to the performance of an autopsy to elucidate the late-term ...
