malakoplakia is a rare disease with undefined etiology that has been almost exclusively reported in urology and pathology journals. we are presenting a case of colonic malakoplakia in an i8-year old young man who was referred to us with a four-year history of intermittent rectorrhagia. the pathological examination of the endoscopically resected specimen revealed pathognomonic features of malako...

to investigate the effects of the two-pore-domain potassium (k2p) channel task-3 in a syngeneic murine model for malignant glioma. malignant or high-grade glioma (who grade iii and iv) are the most common and most aggressive primary brain tumors in adults. despite aggressive multimodal therapy, the outcome of patients with malignant glioma remains poor. however, recent phase i and ii trials hav...

Angiogenesis is a critical factor in tumor growth and metastasis, and microvessel density (MVD) was an important parameter for assessing vessels in tumors. However, radiologic assessment of tumor vascularity is not yet well established. In our study, we aimed at investigating the efficacy of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) in exploring the vascularity of the ovarian tumors or tumor-lik...

OBJECTIVE To describe the computed tomography (CT) features of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) and solid pseudopapillary tumors (SPTs) with unilocular cyst-like appearance, and to compare them with those of unilocular cystic tumors of the pancreas. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study was approved by our Institutional Review Board, and informed consent was waived. We included 112 pancr...

Childhood dermal tumors with melanocytic features is an unusual tumor that can create diagnostic confusion. Among them, paraganglioma-like melanocytic tumors- previous included in melanocytic tumors of uncertain malignant potential- has some particular histopathologic and immunohistochemical features. We describe a case of 13 years old girl with a paraganglioma-like dermal melanocytic tumor of ...

Intussusception in adults is a rare entity, especially caused by benign lesions like lipoma. The clinical picture of intussusception subtle making the diagnosis tenuous. Gastrointestinal lipomas are tumors and present report describes one such entity.

Targeted therapies against basal-like breast tumors, which are typically 'triple-negative breast cancers (TNBCs)', remain an important unmet clinical need. Somatic TP53 mutations are the most common genetic event in basal-like breast tumors and TNBC. To identify additional drivers and possible drug targets of this subtype, a comparative study between human and murine tumors was performed by uti...
