conclusions: according to our results, it is likely that the increased frequency of the fcγriiib-na1/na2 genotype is associated with impaired immune responses against vl and its subsequent clearance from the patient. results: our results indicated that polymorphisms within the fcγriiib gene (that lead to the expression of the na1/na2 isoforms) are significantly associated with vl. the results d...

PURPOSE To study the sebaceous tumors of eyelid/conjunctiva associated with Muir-Torre syndrome (MTS) and to determine the role of immunohistochemical markers (MSH2, mismatch repair gene) in the diagnosis of patients with MTS. METHODS A retrospective, noncomparative case series of 5 patients diagnosed with MTS from our laboratory. We also reviewed all previously reported cases of sebaceous ey...

An antigen (LMS) prepared from Leishmania major-like promastigotes was used in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the diagnosis of human and dog visceral leishmaniasis. The results were compared with those from the indirect immunofluorescent antibody test (IFAT). A total of 1822 canine sera were tested, including sera from dogs with visceral leishmaniasis, transmissible venereal t...

Benign follicular tumors comprise a large and heterogeneous group of neoplasms that share a common histogenesis and display morphological features resembling one or several portions of the normal hair follicle, or recapitulate part of its embryological development. Most cases present it as clinically nondescript single lesions and essentially of dermatological relevance. Occasionally, however, ...

BACKGROUND Breast metastases from extramammary tumors are extremely rare, the most common primary tumors being contralateral breast carcinoma, followed by lung, gynecological, gastrointestinal, melanoma, and hematological cancers. Only a few cases deriving from head and neck squamous cell carcinoma have been reported in the literature to date. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of a 47-year-o...

Abstract Marek’s disease and reticuloendotheliosis are neoplastic diseases in poultry infected by virus (MDV) (REV), respectively. This infection may lead to tumor growth the chicken organ which is difficult distinguish based on macroscopic lesions, therefore it important further diagnose histopathological examination. Thus, this study aimed layer anatomical pathology histopathology The samples...

Solitary fibrous tumors of the pleura (pSFT) are a relatively rare neoplasms that can arise from either visceral or parietal and may have different aggressive biological behaviors. Surgery is well known to be cornerstone treatment for pSFT. We reviewed existing literature, focusing on role surgery in management All English-written literature has been reviewed, those reporting perioperative post...

Nodal inclusions of ectopic tissue within lymph nodes are seen comparatively often in dermatopathology and general pathology. Glandular nonglandular epithelium, as well melanocytic nevi can be observed represent mostly incidental findings without any relevance. The main challenge reporting these morphologic features is to differentiate such benign from metastatic settlements distinct organ tumo...

Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is considered one of the endemic diseases in Iraq, and due to distinction anti-leishmaniasis treatments currently used by their many side effects addition toxicity human body, as well length treatment period, problems they cause digestive system, Salvia officinalis (Saga) was a natural preventive against leishmaniasis. Because its therapeutic properties for health sy...
