INTRODUCTION Nodular hyperplasia of parathyroid glands (PG) is the most probable cause of medical treatment failure in secondary hyperparathyroidism (sHPT). This prospective cohort study is located at the interface of medical and surgical consideration of sHPT treatment options and identifies risk-factors for nodular hyperplasia of PG. MATERIAL AND METHODS One-hundred-eight resected PG of 27 ...

Brunner's gland hyperplasia is a very rare lesion of the duodenum, which is usually asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. It can cause gastrointestinal bleeding but hemorrhagic shock is a rare clinical presentation of Brunner's gland hyperplasia. The authors present a case of a patient with hemorrhagic shock due to a bleeding Brunner's gland hyperplasi...

Focal nodular hyperplasia of the liver, neoplasia of the brain, and intracranial vascular malformations have recently been described as a new syndrome. We report three cases of focal nodular hyperplasia of the liver with intracranial vascular anomalies. Two patients died from ruptured berry aneurysm. It is important to consider intracranial pathology in patients with focal nodular hyperplasia o...

A case is reported of an optic nerve glioma with a marked degree of arachnoid hyperplasia which was initially diagnosed as an optic nerve meningioma. Hyperplasia of the arachnoid was also the underlying cause for expansion of the optic canal. The relationship between arachnoid hyperplasia in optic nerve glioma and meningioma of the optic nerve sheath in childhood is discussed.

Condylar hyperplasia (CH), as the name suggests, affects mandibular condyle producing overgrowth of condyle, which is characterized by a slowly progressive, usually unilateral enlargement of the mandible, facial asymmetry and deviation of chin to the unaffected side. The condition is known to be self-limiting, usually begins around puberty, but may not be recognized until later in life. This pa...

background: endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic malignancy that has often proceeded by a premalignant phase. modern molecular and immune staining methods for precancerous lesions diagnosis have been expanded. one of the genetic alternations in the endometrial cancer carcinogenesis is the mutational activation of the k-ras oncogene. k-ras mutation has recognized to occur at an earl...

the tp53 gene is one of the most frequently mutated genes amongst human malignancies, particularly tp53 codon 72 polymorphism. furthermore, an association between the tp53 codon 72 variants and prostate cancer has been reported in several studies. although some studies have indicated an association between the tp53 arg/arg variant and an increased risk for prostate cancer, other studies have sh...

introduction bladder diverticulum is a result of bladder mucosa and submucosa herniation through the muscularis propria of bladder wall. bladder diverticula are mostly seen in the elderly men in association with benign prostatic hyperplasia (bph). case presentation a 74-year-old man presented with complaints of vague epigastric discomfort, dyspepsia, and mild lower urinary tract symptoms. an ul...

Old intact male dogs are often predisposed to benign prostatic hyperplasia. Both hypertrophy and hyperplasia of prostate gland occur due to hormonal influences. Clinical signs such as haematuria, stranguria and tenesmus are often associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia. A seven year-old local breed intact male dog was presented with a primary complaint of haematuria and stranguria. Diagnos...
