UNLABELLED The sentinel lymph node (SLN) is the first node in a lymph node basin to receive direct drainage from the primary tumour. However, in some cases, lymphoscintigraphy images demonstrate the presence of lymph nodes located in the area between the primary tumour and the first regional lymph node basin. These nodes are called in-transit nodes and have to be considered SLNs as well. AIM ...

results there were 39 cases with lymph node metastasis in 59 malignant tumors, and 0 cases in 6 benign follicular type tumors. the staining scores by jt-95 of the 39 tumors with lymph node metastasis were 5+ in eight cases and 6+ in 31 cases. on the other hand, the scores of 20 malignant tumors without lymph node metastasis were < 4+ in all of the cases. in the co-cultured assay, numerous adhes...

follicular dendritic cells or dendritic reticulum cells are important components of the immune system essential for antigen presentation. malignancies arising from these cells are uncommon and the first case was reported in 1986. the most common sites of follicular dendritic cell sarcomas are lymph nodes, especially cervical, axillary and mediastinal regions, but extranodal sites including head...

kawasaki disease is believed to be the commonest vasculitis of medium vessels in asian children. however, the majority of children with kawasaki disease continue to remain undiagnosed perhaps because of the lack of awareness amongst pediatricians. the clinical features of kawasaki disease can be confused with other common conditions such as scarlet fever, stevens johnson syndrome, measles fever...

discussion benign metastasizing pleomorphic adenoma is a rare and controversial but distinct clinical entity. although the definition of the term benign precludes metastatic disease, these tumors do not demonstrate any malignant features yet metastasized to distinct sites. it remains to be determined whether this benign metastasizing pleomorphic adenoma is really low grade salivary malignancy. ...

Microcystic adnexal carcinoma is an uncommon type of cutaneous neoplasm known by its slow growth but local aggressivity and no potential systemic metastasis. The standard diagnostic approach histopathological study a deep incisional or excisional biopsy. literature has detailed variety treatment modalities, including the Mohs micrographic surgery, excision, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, obse...

BACKGROUND Phyllodes tumor (PT) is a rare neoplasm of the breast. Concomitant PT with invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) is an even rarer occurrence. When ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) or IDC are detected within the specimen, the management changes from wide local excision to further staging work-up, including sentinel node biopsy and radiation. CASE REPORT We report the case of a 70-year-old pr...

*Corresponding Author Abstract Introduction: Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of lymph nodes is a safe, easy, cheap and quick diagnostic tool, which involves the examination of a random sample of cells from a lymph node. Aim: To assess the distribution of diagnostic categories and the efficacy of lymph node fine needle aspiration cytology at our institution. These were compared to the lit...

Objective: Angiomyomatous hamartomas are extremely rare, tumor-like lesions of the lymph nodes. They usually seen in inguinal region rarely nodes cervical region. Histopathologically, fibrous tissues, smooth muscle cells, and vascular structures node structure. It is important to distinguish it from benign malignant node.&#x0D; Case: A 1 cm diameter excision material removed a 26-year-old male ...

Background: Abdominal wall endometriosis has been well-described and can occur after caesarean section. However, malignant transformation of abdominal wall endometriosis is rare, less than 40 cases have been reported so far and its pathogenesis is still poorly understood. Case report: Here, we report a 48-year-old woman, gravida 1, para 1, with a history of uneventful caesarean delivery present...
