When tumors originating in one inbred strain of mice are transplanted into a second inbred strain (homoiotransplants) they usually show either no growth, or temporary growth followed by complete regression. The maximum size attained varies greatly according to the tumor and host strain employed, but for any one combination of tumor and host strain it is often quite uniform. Particularly is this...

Brown seaweeds contain many bioactive compounds, including polyphenols, polysaccharides, fucosterol, and fucoxantin. These compounds have several biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, anti-tumor, anti-hypertensive, and anti-diabetic activity, although in most cases their mechanisms of action are not understood. In this study, extracts generated from five brown al...

Hibernoma is a very rare, benign soft fatty tumor that derived from remnants of fetal brown tissue. The following case of hibernoma break out occurred from a patient who had received surgical resection of neurilemmoma. There has never been a case that reported about hibernoma accompanied by neurilemmoma. It is anticipated that this experience would be helpful to other physicians who are interes...

We report a rare case of sebaceous epithelioma(SE) in the external auditory meatus of an 84-year-old woman. The tumor, measuring 1.5 cm in diameter, was hemispherical, yellowish-brown, elastic and hard. It was removed surgically without complications and there has been no recurrence two years postoperatively. The histopathologic findings were characteristic of a sebaceous epithelioma. The contr...

Most patients with mycosis fungoides are between 40 and 60 years of age. The disease has three clinical stages: (1) the premycotic, or patch, stage, consisting of macular, scaling, faint pink to red pruritic patches, usually on unexposed surfaces; (2) the mycotic, or plaque, stage, consisting of reddish, purple-brown plaques, often annular in shape and symmetric in distribution, and (3) the tum...

Brown tumors are giant cell focal lesion that arises as a result of abnormal bone metabolism in patients with hyperparathyroidism (HPT). The lesions localize in areas of extensive bone resorption, which is replaced by fibrovascular tissue and giant cells with abundant deposits hemorrhage and hemosiderin. A rare case of brown tumor of mandible in a 22-year-old woman is reported here. This case e...

Brown tumors may occur secondary to hyperparathyroidism in patients with chronic renal failure (CKD). They are increasingly rare because hyperparathyroidism in now diagnosed and treated at an early stage. We report 67-year-old man who had been on hemodialysis for CRF for over 3 years, who presented with back pain over the thoracolumbar junction from 2 years ago and because of pain he could not ...
