MMS: Mohs micrographic surgery SSDC: sclerosing sweat duct carcinoma INTRODUCTION Sclerosing sweat duct carcinoma (SSDC) is a rare slow-growing malignant tumor of the sweat glands that usually occurs in the head and neck region. SSDC isoftenmisdiagnosedclinically,which can result in tumor mismanagement and recurrence. Recent literature has shifted in favor of Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) as ...

Objective: Imaging features, diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma complicated with lung cancer were analyzed to improve the accuracy of diagnosis. Methods: The clinical data of 14 cases of pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma complicated with lung cancer treated in Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2008 to August 2016 were collected. Their clinical characteristics, ...

Classically characterized by its papillary appearance, papillary thyroid carcinoma is the most common malignant neoplasm of the thyroid. Several variants of papillary carcinoma have been described considering size (microcarcinoma); nature of the tumor boundaries (encapsulated); architecture (follicular, macrofollicular, cribriform-morular, solid, micropapillary); cellular characteristics (tall ...

Sclerosing stromal tumour (SST) is a rare benign sex cord occurring in women their second and third decades. Patients usually present with menstrual irregularity pelvic pain. Microscopically, this characterized by epithelioid spindle cells arranged pseudolobules separated areas fibrous deposition of various amount. Presence ‘staghorn like’ proliferating vasculature the hallmark feature tumour. ...

Background & Objective: In vascular (vasculogenic) mimicry (VM), tumoral cells mimic the endothelial cells and form the extracellular matrix-rich tubular networks. It has been proposed that VM is more extensive in aggressive tumors. This study was designed to investigate the rate of VM expression in the stromal cells of invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) and to find its relationsh...

BACKGROUND Ovarian sex-cord stromal tumours (SCST) are rare, and relatively infrequent in children. These have to be distinguished from more common germ cell tumors in children and also from benign epithelial neoplasms. OBJECTIVES The purpose of our study was to report the clinical and pathological findings in young patients with these tumours in our population. MATERIAL AND METHODS The pre...

BACKGROUND Sclerosing pneumocytoma is a rare lung tumor that is usually recognized as a solitary nodule in the lung. Surgical removal is recommended; however, its clinical diagnosis is still an issue because it is difficult to differentiate from lung adenocarcinomas using a tiny sample obtained from biopsy. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma located in the...
