Bowen’s disease (BD) is a non-melanoma skin cancer with several histological subtypes. Herein we describe a case of a 35-year-old woman with a 4-cm diameter crusted plaque on the parietal scalp region. She had the lesion for 2 years. It had previously been histologically diagnosed as pemphigus vulgaris and only treated with a topical cream. The lesion progressively became thicker and larger. A ...

cemento-ossifying fibroma (cof) is a rare benign fibro-osseous tumor. the radiographic and clini cal features of this lesion are unpredictable and variable. in this report, the patient was a 12-year old girl with a painless swelling which demon strated an opaque lesion with radiolucent zone to involve left posterior portion of the mandible on panoramic radiography. the radiographic manife stati...

background: cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by l. major is an important public health problem in endemic areas. the aim of this study was to explore the therapeutic effect of microwave and or infrared radiation in the treatment of lesion induced in balb/c mice by l. major inoculation. methods: the footpad lesion was induced in balb/c mice by inoculation of l. major promastigotes subcutaneously. ...

conclusion lesion depth from the pleural surface and the presence of emphysema were strongly correlated with the increasing incidence of pneumothorax after ct-guided pcnb. our results may be applicable for the risk management of pcnbs to reduce pneumothorax as a complication. background previous studies identifying risk factors for pneumothorax in percutaneous core needle lung biopsies reported...

abstract background: a tumefactive lesion of central nervous system (cns) is defined as a mass-like lesion with a size greater than 2 cm in brain (magnetic resonance imaging) mri. neuroimaging may help to distinguish the nature of a tumefactive lesion and therefore can prevent an unnecessary brain biopsy. method: in this paper, we have emphasized on determining the nature of a cns tumefactive l...

Primary tumors of the calvarium are infrequent, and with the exception of osteoma, lesions confined to the surface of the skull are very rare. The differential diagnosis includes benign and malignant matrix forming tumors, other mesenchymal tumors, and reactive lesions. Fibro-osseous lesions are characteristically centered within bone and surface fibro-osseous lesions always prompt consideratio...

Elucidating the brain basis for psychological processes and behavior is a fundamental aim of cognitive neuroscience. The lesion method, using voxel-based statistical analysis, is an important approach to this goal, identifying neural structures that are necessary for the support of specific mental operations, and complementing the strengths of functional imaging techniques. Lesion coverage in a...
