Hyaline bodies may be found in the optic disc and in several parts of the retina as a nonspecific finding (Wolter, 1959). The term drusen ("colloid bodies") is usually reserved for large hyaline bodies of the optic disc and Bruch's membrane. Lorentzen (I966), postulated that drusen of the optic disc had an irregular dominant pattern of inheritance after an examination of the relatives of 49 aff...

The histological features of 168 lesions of Kaposi's sarcoma from 159 patients in Malawi, where the disease is commoner than elsewhere, were characteristic. All showed well-developed areas of tumour and could be grouped fairly readily into those with a mixed pattern, a predominantly spindle cell pattern, and an anaplastic group, though intermediate patterns were seen. Hyaline bodies were presen...

Carbon dioxide (CO2) exposure was found to result in production of pulmonary hyaline membranes in rodents by a number of investigators (1-3). In previous studies with Niemoeller (4), we were able to show that incidence of hyaline membrane formation progressively decreases in guinea pigs during prolonged exposure to CO2 after compensation of the respiratory acidosis, suggesting a nonspecific aci...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype influences the severity of disease and response to therapy. This retrospective study examined the clinical and histological features and the genotype distribution in biopsied patients with HCV related chronic liver disease. METHODS Of 105 biopsies from patients with HCV infection, 96 from patients with chronic liver disease were review...

We report a case of papillary adenocarcinoma of the sigmoid colon with psammoma bodies and intracytoplasmic hyaline globules. The patient was a 59-year-old woman. The tumor showed central ulceration with smooth elevated ridges. Histologically, the tumor was composed of numerous large irregular tubular structures accompanying infolded papillary growth. The tumor cells showed cytoplasmic basophil...
