Leiomyoma may originate at any anatomic location of smooth muscle in the genitourinary system. The kidney capsule is the most common site for the genitourinary leiomyomas. Leiomyoma origination from the scrotum is rare. The previous reported cases presented as small, firm, nontender, slowly enlarging freely movable masses within the scrotum. We report a case of leiomyoma of the tunica dartos, a...

We describe a de novo apparently balanced reciprocal translocation, 46,X,t(X;16)(q28;qll.2), in a 13 year old girl with median cleft of the upper lip, pedunculated skin masses on the nasal septum, short stature, and mental retardation. Pai syndrome is characterised by median cleft of the upper lip, pedunculated skin mass(es) on the face, and midline lipoma(s) of the central nervous system. The ...

Hepatic hemangioma is the most common benign tumor of the liver. Most such hemangiomas are small, asymptomatic, and have an excellent prognosis. Giant hepatic hemangioma has been reported in the literature, but the exophytic and pedunculated forms of hepatic hemangioma are rare. A 56-year-old woman was referred to our hospital under the suspicion of having a gastric submucosal tumor. Abdominal ...

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS Bleeding after colonoscopic resection of pedunculated polyps cannot be easily predicted. The aims of this study were to evaluate the blood supply in pedunculated polyps and to clarify the optimal position on the polyp stalk for snare placement to prevent post-polypectomy hemorrhage. ] PATIENTS AND METHODS In one institution, 11 pedunculated polyps from 11 patients we...

Introduction. Uterine leiomyoma is the most common benign pathology in women and lipoleiomyoma is an extremely rare and specific type of leiomyoma. Here, we report an unusual case of giant pedunculated subserous lipoleiomyoma misdiagnosed preoperatively as leiomyosarcoma. Case. A 45-year-old woman admitted to our gynecology outpatient clinic for complaints of abdominal distention, tiredness, an...

frequent cause of lower intestinal bleed− ing in the elderly. Recent advances in co− lonoscopy have discovered colonic vascu− lar ectasia with increasing frequency. Co− lonic vascular ectasia often presents as multiple reddish, slightly elevated, muco− sal lesions. It may be treated at colonos− copy with laser photocoagulation, heat probe, electrocoagulation, and argon plasma coagulation [1 ± 4...
