Dysplasia is linked to altered tissue architecture. The lesion belongs into the diagnostic field of human pathology and is highly relevant for the clinical physician, because it breaks the criteria of hyperplasia and regeneration. Dysplasia is a precancerous disorder leading in all probability to malignant transformation if not treated. However, different descriptions do apply for dysplasia in ...

Pathologic specimens, both biopsies and endoscopic mucosal resections, for Barrett esophagus and Barrett-associated dysplasia and malignancy are common for pathologists in North America, and the incidence in South Asian countries seems to be increasing. Dysplasia and malignancy arising in intestinalized gastric-type mucosa raises issues in the interpretation of dysplasia and the evaluation of t...

The two most common types ectodermal dysplasias are hypohidrotic (Christ-Siemens-Touraine syndrome) and hidrotic (Clouston syndrome).

DNA image cytometry was performed on Feulgen stained sections from 91 biopsies obtained during prospective endoscopic surveillance of 55 patients with Barrett's oesophagus. Aneuploid cells were detected in specimens from six of these patients. Four subsequently developed dysplasia and adenocarcinoma but, in the other two, biopsies had been reported as showing specialised epithelium only, with n...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES To analyze retrospectively the usefulness of cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging in the assessment of patients with clinically suspected arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia. MATERIAL AND METHOD We reviewed retrospectively findings from 46 consecutive patients (mean age, 42+/-19 years; 25 male) who were referred for investigation to rule out right ventr...

BACKGROUND Acetabular dysplasia (AD) is the main cause of hip osteoarthritis in Japan. A simple method to evaluate acetabular dysplasia would be helpful for early treatment or prevention of hip osteoarthritis. Acetabular dysplasia is reported to be associated with pathological transverse growth of the pelvis, indicating that the distance between the 2 anterior superior iliac spines might be use...

In a prospective study of 100 patients with ulcerative colitis, 82 of whom had extensive colitis, carcinoma and dysplasia were distinguished cytologically from reactive hyperplasia. Six patients had carcinoma complicating colitis and satisfactory samples were obtained from five; the cytological appearances were interpreted as carcinoma in three and as dysplasia in two. Seventy eight patients ha...

OBJECTIVE To provide a database on the incidence of developmental dysplasia of hip (DDH) among newborns in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE). METHODS This is a retrospective study of babies born in Dubai Hospital, Dubai, UAE, suspected of having hip dysplasia. Their case records were studied, and the conclusions and treatment were analyzed. The study period was from January 2004 to December 2...

Five hundred and four asymptomatic patients in whom gastrectomy had been performed between 1931 and 1960 were investigated by endoscopy plus biopsy. Ten stump carcinomas were detected (1.98%). In five patients the tumour was limited to the mucosa and was not seen at endoscopy. In three patients with previously noted severe dysplasia intramucosal carcinoma was detected during follow up and in tw...

Placental mesenchymal dysplasia is an underdiagnosed and a rare vascular anomaly of the placenta. It characterized by presence grape-like vesicles, which, on ultrasonography gives appearance partial mole. Histologically it can be differentiated mole absence trophoblastic proliferation. essential to make correct diagnosis as management outcome both these entities are vastly different. We present...
