So-called dedifferentiation in mesenchymal neoplasms of the uterus is very rare. Among conventional low-grade stromal tumors only three cases of dedifferentiation were reported, whereas in mixed stromal-smooth muscle tumors the dedifferentiation was yet not described. Here we present such a case of low-grade mixed stromal-smooth muscle tumor with dedifferentiation. The tumor occurred in 52-year...

BARROW QUARTERLY • Vol. 24, No. 1 • 2008 Dysembryoplastic Neuroepithelial Tumor: A Review I 1988 Dumas-Duport et al. first used the term dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor to describe low-grade tumors found in young patients with intractable partial seizures.4 In 1993 the distinct pathological entity known as DNET was given a place in the WHO classification of brain tumors as a grade I tumo...

i.p.s. hypergroups are canonical hypergroups such that$[forall(a,x),a+xni x]longrightarrow[a+x=x].$i.p.s. hypergroups were investigated in [1], [2], [3], [4] and it was proved thatif the order is less than 9, they are strongly canonical (see [13]). in this paperwe obtain the sequences of fuzzy sets and of join spaces determined (see [8])by all i.p.s. hypergroups of order seven. for the meaning ...

Inherent cancer phenotypes that are independent of fluctuating cross-talk with the surrounding tissue matrix are highly desirable candidates for targeting tumor cells. Our novel study design uses epithelial cell lines derived from low versus high histologic grade primary breast cancer to effectively diminish the breadth of transient variability generated within the tumor microenvironment of the...

Osteosarcoma is a relatively uncommon malignancy however, it is the most common form of primary malignant bone tumors in human. Diagnosis and prognosis of patients with osteosarcoma is limited to clinico-radiopathological parameters, whereas molecular markers of tumor aggression have been poorly identified. Survivin, an inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP), is unique for its expression in human tumors ...

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between serum levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and the severity and extent of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the larynx based on stage of tumor progression and histological grade.   Materials and Methods: All patients with a diagnosis of laryngeal cancer who underwent laryngoscopy and biopsy while hospitalized in Imam ...

Background: To examine serum levels of vitamin D in newly diagnosed gastric cancer (GC) patients compared with normal subjects and any possible association with prognostic variables. Methods: One-hundred subjects (50 GC and 50 controls) were enrolled and serum vitamin D levels were assessed using ELISA. Based on two definitions, vitamin D was classified as a sufficient level (≥30 ng/dL) and op...

The anaplastic oligodendrogliomas are uncommon gliomas. It is clinically significant to know this entity as they have unique clinical, histopathological and molecular features. We present a 43 year female having complaint of headache, tingling numbness, giddiness. Which was 2 duration, off on, increased in last 15 days. MRI brain (plain + contrast) showed large heterogenously enhancing cortical...
