the sex cord-like variant of endometrioid carcinoma is a rare subtype with a close histological resemblance to the sex cord-stromal tumor of the ovaries, in particular the sertoli cell tumor. however, very few cases of the granulosa cell tumor-like variant have been reported since it is commonly misdiagnosed as a granulose cell tumor. immunohistochemistry is useful in the diagnosis of these tum...

desmoplastic small round cell tumor is a rare malignant tumor that occurs primarily in young males. here, a case of small round cell tumor in an adult male successfully treated with a curative concurrent chemoradiotherapy is presented. a 58-year-old man had an intrapelvic tumor. surgical resection was attempted, but the tumor was unresectable. needle biopsy was performed and the diagnosis was s...

metastatic lesions represent 1-8% of all malignant tumors of the mouth and jaws, which are regarded as rare sites of metastases from different primary tumors. metastases in mouth soft tissue are also rare, and within these it is on the gums where they more frequently occur. primary tumors which metastasize to the mouth are most commonly: lung, breast, and kidney. clear cell carcinoma is the mos...

central granular cell odontogenic tumor) cgcot) of the jaw is an exceedingly rare benign odontogenic neoplasm with 35 reported cases in the literature. among these, very few studies have focused on the cone-beam ct features of cgcot. here, we report a case of an asymptomatic cgcot in a 16-year-old girl and focus on the cone-beam ct features. only 36 cases of this lesion, including this one, hav...

congenital granular cell tumor (cgct) is a unique benign tumor of soft tissue in newborns, which usually occurs on the anterior alveolar mucosa of the jaws. it is 8 to 10 times more prevalent in females than males. we present a case report of a 3-month-old female infant, who had a solitary mass on the anterior mandibular alveolar ridge. the lesion, which was histologically a congenital granular...

introduction: complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (previously called testicular feminization) is specified by a 46 xy karyotype and negative sex chromatin, bilateral undescended testes, female genitalia appearance, and lack of mullerian derivatives. discussion: our medline search revealed that this is the first reported case of bilateral sertoli–leydig cell tumor (slct) in androgen insensi...

desmoplastic small round cell tumor (dscrt) is a rare variant of sarcoma with a highly aggressive behavior. it usually affects abdominal cavity and has a male predominance. its correct diagnosis and treatment is sophisticated and requires an experienced multidisciplinary team. hereby we present a 25 yrold man from kerman province in 2013 with abdominal mass and ascites who underwent sonograghy ...

introduction: the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the hsp-70 (heat shock protein-70) induction in the lysate of heat shocked tumor cells on splenocyte proliferation, nitric oxide production by peritoneal macrophages, and fibrosarcoma tumor size reduction in balb/c mice. material and methods: wehi 164 cells (mouse fibrosarcoma cell line) were injected subcutaneously into the r...
