THE existence of a giant-cell tumour in the jawbones has been a matter of discussion for many years. In an excellent review Jaffe, Lichtenstein and Portis (1940) tried to clarify some of the problems by denning true giant-cell tumours of bone and separating them from reparative giant-cell granulomas. Later Jaffe (1953) further discussed some of the giant-cell containing lesions of the jaws and ...

Functioning paraganglioma is extra-adrenal catecholamine-secreting tumours that may cause secondary hypertension. Primary intrapericardial paragangliomas are very rare and are located adjacent to the great vessels or heart, typically near the left atrium. These tumours are an exceptionally uncommon finding during the investigation of refractory hypertension. However, in recent years, intraperic...

GASTRO-INTESTINAL STROMAL-TUMOURs (GASTRO-INTESTINAL STROMAL-TUMOURs) are tumours of the gut found mostly in stomach and small intestine. The complications Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, obstruction, pain rarely perforation. We reporting an abnormal presentation STROMAL-TUMOURS presenting as acute abdomen with Right Iliac Fossa (RIF) mass 57-year-old male. Contrast Enhanced Computed Tomography...

Giant cell tumour (GCT) is a benign, locally aggressive tumour of the bone that accounts for 5% of primary bone tumours and 21% of benign bone tumours. This tumour more commonly presents as a single (solitary) lesion; however, it may appear with multiple (multicentric) lesions in less than 1% of the cases. According to the literature, 1-9% of solitary GCTs metastasizes to the lung, more commonl...

AIM To evaluate whether increased telomerase activity can be clinically useful for detecting malignant cells in a variety of gynaecological specimens. METHODS Telomerase activity was examined in frozen tissue samples of histologically confirmed lesions of the endometrium, ovary, and cervix. It was also assessed in exfoliated cells in cervical smears from patients with premalignant and maligna...

The importance of the cerebellum for non-motor functions is becoming more and more evident. The influence on cognitive functions from acquired cerebellar lesions during childhood, however, is not well known. We present follow-up data from 24 patients, who were operated upon during childhood for benign cerebellar tumours. The benign histology of these tumours required neither radiotherapy nor ch...

chrysomya bezziana villeneuve is the most important fly, which produces myiasis, exists as an obligate ectoparasite in the ani­mals, and afflicts human. poor hygiene and working in contaminated areas particularly during warm seasons provide a situa­tion to infest by this parasite. infestation in human and livestock are often observed in wounds, normal body orifices such as eyes, ears, nose, and...

 Methods: This was a cross sectional study.
 Results: highest incidence benign tumors 3rd 4th decade, whereas for malignant tumor it 5thdecade life. ...
