background: primary intra cardiac tumors are rare. in this article, we present papillary fibroelastoma of mitral valve chordae. case presentation: a 35-year old man presented with atypical chest pain and palpitation. physical examination and electrocardiogram were normal. transesophageal echocardiography (tee) revealed a mass of 1015 mm attached to chordae of anteromedial papillary muscle of m...

Background: Thyroid carcinoma is the most common malignancy of the endocrine system. Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common type of thyroid cancer, accounting for 70–90% of well-differentiated thyroid malignancies. Thyroid papillary microcarcinoma is a subtype of papillary carcinoma that included tumors with less than 10mm diameter. As a result of diagnostic methods improvement, p...

Solid-cystic papillary tumors of the pancreas are very rare and, until today, 718 cases have been reported in a review of the literature. Four patients affected by solid-cystic papillary tumors, observed in our Institute between January 1985 and July 2005, are reported. The clinicopathological, operative and survival data of this tumor were reviewed comparing our experience with a review of the...

intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (ipmns) are rare pancreatic tumours, accounting for less of 1-2% of all neoplasms of the gland. main characteristics of ipmns are their favourable prognosis as these pre-malignant or frankly malignant lesions are usually slow-growing tumours and radical surgery is frequently possible. according with the localization of the lesions, three different entiti...

We report a case of a 67-year-old Caucasian man with right upper quadrant abdominal pain. He underwent radiologic investigations that revealed a solid, focal mass, at the V hepatic segment. Because a definitive diagnosis, based on imaging appearance of the lesion, was impossible in our case, we performed a hystopathological investigation but the biopsies were inconclusive. So, the definitive di...

background and objective: thyroid cancer is the most frequent endocrine malignancy in the world and papillary carcinoma is the most frequent thyroid carcinoma. different markers used for determination of prognosis and vegfr is one of them. the aim of present study was to determine the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (vegfr) as a prognostic marker in papillary carcinoma...

Pseudo papillary tumor of the pancreas, also called Frantz´s tumor, is a very rare disease; between 0.2 and 2.7% pancreatic carcinomas. Ethiology unknown; observed in young women. It´s tumors with low malignant potential, usually asymptomatic evolution by long time symptoms are due to regional compression: pain or abdominal mass. The possibility form around 15%. Anatomically, they most frequent...

ovarian borderline serous tumors are uncommon. combination of borderline serous adenofibromatous tumor and prominent micro papillary architecture is not previously reported. we report a case of borderline papillary serous adenofibromatous tumor (also called serous adenocarcinofibroma) with extensive micropapillary pattern in a 27 year-old married woman. she was infertile and presented with diff...
