the propensity for skip lesions (intraepithelial neoplasia) in sebaceous carcinoma, microscopic intraepithelial neoplasia may be present even with negative margins and may lead to local recurrences. It is interesting that our patient developed a late regional nodal metastasis without any evidence of local recurrence. One plausible explanation is that the primary sebaceous carcinoma in the carun...

BACKGROUND Strengthening primary care is the focus of many countries, as national healthcare systems with a strong primary care sector tend to have lower healthcare costs. However, it is unknown to what extent general practitioners (GPs) that perform more services generate fewer hospital referrals. The objective of this study was to examine the association between the number of surgical interve...

Introduction There are several congenital cystic conditions affecting the liver and bile ducts. The first group includes the intrahepatic cysts, which may be solitary or multiple, and their precursors, the von Meyenburg complexes. These are microscopic areas of duct ectasia which may enlarge gradually to form macroscopic cysts. The second group includes those lesions affecting the biliary drain...

INTRA-EPITHELIAL EPITHELIOMATA may present to the ophthalmologist on the cornea, conjunctiva or eyelids, generally of elderly men. Here they form vascularized elevated plaques, that look rather gelatinous or granulomatous, and they most often arise in sites of chronic infection, as after burns or pannus. Years later they tend to break through the basement layer of the epithelium and finally yie...

Epithelioma, arising on skin surfaces, other than the neighbourhood of mucous membrane, is of rather rare occurrence in England. But in Kashmir the commonest seat of epithelioraata is the skin of the thigh and the abdomen. The cause of this is not far to seek. During the severe winters and indeed for a great part of the year, every Kashmiri man, woman or child carries a portable charcoal brazie...

different opinions exit in histological typing of bone cysts. epidermoid cysts are very rare as the small numbers of published cases indicate. they arises following preceding trauma exclusively in distal phalanges and skull. the roentgenogram shows a round osteolytic resion with no trabecular pattern. we observed 2 cases of epidermoid cyst of finger in imam khomeini hospital central path depart...

BACKGROUND Sebaceous carcinoma (SC) is a rare malignancy, occurring predominantly in eyelids. Till date, only 25 cases of sebaceous carcinoma (SC) of the parotid gland have been reported in world literature. CASE PRESENTATION A 33 year-old male presented with left sided laterocervical mass. Clinical examination showed enlargement of the left parotid gland, with cervical lymphadenopathy. No sk...

Adiponectin plays important roles in metabolic function, inflammation and multiple biological activities in various tissues. However, evidence for adiponectin signaling in sebaceous glands is lacking, and its role remains to be clarified. This study investigated the role of adiponectin in lipid production in sebaceous glands in an experimental study of human sebocytes. We demonstrated that huma...
