Background: Malignant melanoma is the most aggressive form of skin cancer. In contrast to other tumors, the role of estrogen in the initiation and progression of melanoma remains unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate estrogen receptor beta protein expression in human melanoma tissues and in the benign melanocytic lesions. Method: Twenty-one patients, 11 with cutaneous melanoma and 10 w...

Introduction: To explore diagnostic potential of computerize texture analysis methods in discrimination of the normal, benign and malignant ovarian lesions by CT scan imaging.   Materials and Methods: Ovarian CT image database consists of 10 normal, 10 benign and 3 malignant which were reported by radiologist and proven by clinical examinat...

In 30 patient with single cold thyroid nodule and normal thyroid function tests, 99mTc-MIBI scan is performed. The nodules are divided to hot (10), Warm (12) and cold (8). FNA reported papillary Ca in 4, suspicious follicular neoplasm in 3 and 23 benign lesions. 7 patients were operated on and had final pathology reports (4 papillary Ca and 3 benign lesions). All the nodules with no MIBI ...

background: we conducted our study on 1110 patients with breast masses in order to investigate different aspects of power doppler sonography (pds) for differentiating between benign and malignant breast lesions and their prognostication. materials and methods: this study was conducted on the women who were referred to the sonography units of university hospitals for breast sonography and had a ...

abstract objective: evaluating the usefulness of the triple test score (tts) in breast lesions. materials and methods: medical records of 100 cases were evaluated and tts was calculated based on of physical examination, mammography and fine-needle aspiration cytology findings. the diagnostic value of tts was assessed according to histopathology results. results: of the 23 lesions with score of ...

Chest radiology is an important investigation in the diagnosis of intrathoracic lesions. Benign and malignant lesions have characteristic radiological appearance. Awareness about these characteristics essential for further evaluation diagnosis. Keywords: feature benign lesion, Posterior mediastinal tumor

Background: Warts are common in renal allograft recipients (RAR) with reported incidence of 24% to 100%. These patients also demonstrate an accelerated malignant transformation of warts. Although in immunocompetent patients, the histology of common warts is quite predictable, this is not so in RAR. Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the histopathologic findings of warty lesion...
