Nevus sebaceus of Jadassohn is a congenital cutaneous hamartoma comprised of multiple skin structures. It has the potential to develop into variety of neoplasms of various epidermal adnexal origins. While multiple tumors may occasionally arise, it is unusual for more than four tumors to arise simultaneously within a single sebaceus nevus. Here in, we report a case of a 70-year-old woman with si...

Ivemark syndrome is a rare sporadic or autosomal recessive disorder characterized by pancreatic fibrosis, renal dysplasia and hepatic dysgenesis. There have been no data describing the renal changes during embryologic development in this syndrome. In this report, we document the pathological findings of the kidney in three subjects with Ivemark syndrome: 6 months, 21 weeks and 16 weeks, respect...

Mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma (MANEC) is a rare disease, which mostly occurs in the gastrointestinal tract and pancreas. Here we report a case of gastric MANEC with tri-lineage differentiation in which only the neuroendocrine component had metastasized to the liver. Liver and gastric masses were detected by abdominal computed tomography, and the preoperative relationship between liver and...

We aimed to develop alternative fishing gear for catching the common octopus, to decrease the use of bait and operating costs in comparison to commercial net pots. A tubular-type pot was designed, and behavioral responses of the common octopus were experimentally monitored in tank and replicated 10 times to compare fishing performances between 300 experimental and 300 commercial net pots in the...

Background and Objective: Increment in cancer prevalence and subsequent need for chemotherapy leads to distinct kidney-related diseases such as acute kidney injury (AKI). Cisplatin is a common chemotherapeutic agent that has been used in many cancers; however, it can damage renal cells. Capparis spinosa is an important therapeutic plant in Persian medicine that encompasses high amounts of bioac...

An eleven-month old male F344/DuCrj (F344) rat was found dead and had right kidney mass at necropsy. Histopathologically, the mass was composed of nests of neoplastic stellate cells. At the center of the nests, neoplastic epithelial cells formed a tubular structure. In the fibrous connective tissue surrounding the nests, neoplastic cells with striations demonstrable by phosphotungstic acid hema...

MARGARET BISSON, P. BISSON, D. SPRATT, AND SYLVIA DAVIES (Renal Unit, Whipton Hospital and Area Department of Pathology, Exeter) Cytological examination of the urine has provided immediate indication of early rejection after renal transplantation. The appearance of activated lymphocytes and immunoblasts in the urinary deposit correlates well with other parameters of rejection, such as reduced r...

Fibrosis of the glomerular and tubulointerstitial compartments is a common feature of chronic kidney disease leading to end-stage renal failure. This fibrotic process involves a number of pathologic mechanisms, including cell death and inflammation. This review focuses on the role of the c-Jun amino terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway in the development of renal fibrosis. The JNK pathway is...

Article history: Received: 18 February 2016 Accepted: 27 September 2016 Published online: 3 November 2016 Abstract Neoplasia affecting a variety of tissues has been documented in many fish species. However, there are few reports of neoplasia in the common clownfish, Amphiprion ocellaris. An adult female clownfish in a public display aquarium was diagnosed with a locally invasive tubular carcino...
