<p class="abstract">The salivary glands home of several tumoral pathologies, diversified by their locations and histological types. Described as a rare malignant tumor the accessory glands, more so in palatine bone; diagnosis Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (CME) remains difficult to evoke due uncommonness clinical signs insidious evolution. The purpose this case report is discuss manifestation,...

Rationale: Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) of the breast is a rare entity comprising specific morphological and immunohistochemical features, and has been previously only reported in 33 cases. Patient concerns: Four cases of MEC of the breast are reported in this study. All patients were women with ages ranging from 39 to 66 years. The lesions consisted of neoplastic solid nests and cystic space...

introduction: natural killer (nk) cells, of which cd56 is a specific marker, play an important role in host defense against tumors. cancer stem cells, of which aldehyde dehydrogenase isoform 1 (aldh1) is an immunohistochemical marker, are a group of tumorigenic cells which are involved in migration and tumor recurrences. we aimed to evaluate the expression of aldh1 and cd56 in common salivary g...

conclusions regarding the findings of this study, it can be concluded that erα possibly cannot play an important role in the tumorigenesis and prognosis of the investigated malignant salivary gland tumors. results for acc, only one specimen expressed the er, and this was assessed as moderate. no specimens of mec expressed the er. the comparison of er expression between the two groups was not me...

Caspofungin and itraconazole were studied alone and in combination against 31 clinical isolates of Aspergillus spp. according to NCCLS M38-P guidelines. MICs and microscopic minimal effective concentrations (MECs) were recorded, and synergy was calculated by using both end points. Synergy or synergy to additivity was found in 30 of 31 isolates by using MIC end points. With MEC end points no syn...

PURPOSE Large studies examining the clinical and pathological factors associated with nodal metastasis in minor salivary gland cancer are lacking in the literature. METHODS AND MATERIALS Using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database, we identified 2,667 minor salivary gland cancers with known lymph node status from 1988 to 2004. Univariate and multivariate analyses wer...

Cancer stem cells, of which aldehyde dehydrogenase isoform 1 (ALDH1) is an immunohistochemical marker, are a group of tumorigenic cells which are involved in migration and tumor recurrences.
