thyroglossal duct cysts are the most common congenital anomalies in thyroid development, which in less than 1% of cases are malignant. in most cases the diagnosis is made postoperatively. up to now, a few cases have been reported which had been papillary carcinoma. controversies exist concerning its nature and treatment. we present a 30 years old woman with papillary carcinoma of thyroglossal d...

malignant papillary neoplasms of the breast comprise a number of microscopically distinct lesions, where apocrine metaplasia is commonly found in papillomas compared to other papillary lesions including papillary carcinomas. however, association of apocrine metaplasia in papilloma with ductal carcinoma in situ (dcis) is not very well defined. the lesions with apocrine metaplasia are not only di...

Warthin tumor-like papillary thyroid carcinoma is an uncommon variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma. We report a rare case of Warthin tumor-like variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma with a dedifferentiated component consisting of a solid tumor area composed of neoplastic cells with a spindle to tall cell morphology associated with marked nuclear pleomorphism, atypical mitoses, and foci of ne...

purpose: to compare the results of intravitreal bevacizumb (ivb) injection alone or in combination with intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide (ivt) versus macular laser photocoagulation (mpc) as primary treatment of diabetic macular edema (dme). methods: in this randomized clinical trial, 150 eyes of 129 patients with clinical dme and no previous treatment were enrolled. the eyes were randomly a...

Ovarian borderline serous tumors are uncommon. Combination of borderline serous adenofibromatous tumor and prominent micro papillary architecture is not previously reported. We report a case of borderline papillary serous adenofibromatous tumor (also called serous adenocarcinofibroma) with extensive micropapillary pattern in a 27 year-old married woman. She was infertile and presented with diff...

BACKGROUND The rupture of the anterolateral papillary muscle is less common than the posteromedial papillary muscle since the anterolateral muscle has dual blood supplies, while the posteromedial papillary muscle has a single blood supply. CASE PRESENTATION We present a case report of a 42 year old male presenting with heart failure being diagnosed to have mitral regurgitation from the partia...

The objective of this study was to describe a simple and reproducible papillary-ventricular complex technique for repairing functional mitral regurgitation. To avoid a recurrence of mitral regurgitation subsequent to left ventricular remodelling, we performed papillary muscle plication and papillary muscle and head approximation in combination with relocation of the papillary muscle heads to co...

Various structural anomalies of the left ventricular papillary muscles have been observed in recent years. Many of these have been linked to electrocardiographic aberrations. Recently two reports have appeared where the base of the posterior papillary muscle was identified as the source of frequent premature ventricular complexes. In some of these patients these frequent premature ventricular c...

Papillary fibroelastoma is the most common primary cardiac valvular tumor. Historically, papillary fibroelastoma was an incidental autopsy finding, deemed to have no clinical significance. More recently, reports of symptomatic cases of papillary fibroelastoma with complications such as myocardial infarction and stroke have led papillary fibroelastoma to be considered a potentially dangerous les...
