800x600 investigations of choroidal vasculature have been of particular interest given choroidal vascular dysfunction are thought to be related with a number pathologic conditions such as central serous chorioretinopathy and various forms of amd, including polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy. on the other hand, en face imaging of the choroid allows an exceptional alternative to histopathologic ev...

non-hodgkin lymphoma (nhl) is one of the masquerade syndromes of malignant melanoma that can occur with two main patterns of presentations in the eye: metastatic involvement of uveal tract, and primary involvement of retina. we report ophthalmic, imaging and histopathological findings in the first case diagnosed as primary choroidal nhl without central nervous system or systemic involvement. a ...

BACKGROUND Primary intracranial leiomyoma is an extremely rare occurrence of a low-grade mesenchymal tumor characterized by a proliferation of smooth muscle cells. When present, these lesions predominantly occur in immunocompromised patients in the setting of infection or transplant and have not been known to involve the ventricular system of the brain. In this report, we describe a case of pri...

BACKGROUND A recent clinical trial demonstrated that selective progesterone receptor modulator asoprisnil is effective in reducing uterine leiomyoma volume. We investigated the effects of asoprisnil in vitro on the expression of the extracellular matrix (ECM)-remodeling enzymes and collagens in cultured leiomyoma and matching normal myometrial cells. METHODS The expression of extracellular ma...

Focal choroidal excavation is a choroidal pit that can be detected by optical coherence tomography. Central serous chorioretinopathy, choroidal neovascularization and polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy are pathologies associated with focal choroidal excavation. In this article, we present the follow-up and treatment outcomes of three eyes of two patients with focal choroidal excavation.

smooth muscle tumors rather benign or malignant can arise wherever the muscular tissue presents but cutaneous leiomyoma is one of the rare benign tumors of the which even the diagnostic criteria from the malignant type of the tumor is still in doubt. this study was aimed to compare the subtypes of cutaneous leiomyoma from different histologic aspects in order to find unique criteria for better ...

round ligament leiomyoma of uterus is rare. it can be presented as inguinal swelling mimicking the inguinal hernia or lymph node. surgical excision is its curative treatment. definitive diagnosis is made by histopathological examination. a 32 year old pregnant patient having round ligament leiomyoma as diagnosed histopathologically in recep tayyip erdogan university hospital in 2014 was present...

OBJECTIVE We evaluated the role of MRI as a preoperative diagnostic tool for leiomyoma and adenomyosis. METHOD This is a retrospective chart review at a university-based hospital. The study included 1517 women who underwent hysterectomy or myomectomy over a 5-year period, and 153 women with a preoperative pelvic MRI were included. Comparisons were made between the results of the MRI and posto...

Uterine leiomyomata, or fibroids, are benign tumors of the uterine myometrium that significantly affect up to 30% of reproductive-age women. Despite being the primary cause of hysterectomy in the United States, accounting for up to 200,000 procedures annually, the etiology of leiomyoma remains largely unknown. As a basis for understanding leiomyoma pathogenesis and identifying targets for pharm...
