Jeffrey Brenner. (Photo by MacArthur Foundation) Jeffrey Brenner doesn’t believe in blaming a person for showing up at an emergency room for a cold or an ear infection, even if the illness could have been treated in a doctor’s office at much lower cost. Instead, he faults the health care system, and he wants to prove that if providers, employers and insurers work together more effectively, that...

We report a case of a 74-year-old female, who underwent total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy due to a solid-cystic tumor of the right ovary. The histopathological diagnosis revealed a borderline Brenner tumor (BBT). After 25 disease-free months the patient was admitted to a hospital because of a tumor in the postoperative scar of the abdominal wall, later diagnosed ...

A human ovarian Brenner tumor presenting a wide spectrum of benign and malignant histologic features was studied for its patterns of intermediate filament expression. All epithelial elements of the tumor, regardless of their morphologic type, contained cytokeratins as their only intermediate filament component. Differences were detected, however, between tumor nests that displayed transitional ...

otherwise of the tumour. Examination of the tumour for stainable fat is also recommended. Furthermore, vaginal cytology for cestrogenic activity and estimation of circulating oestrogenic hormone should also be performed in laboratories where facilities for such investigations exist. The view expressed by Novak and Woodruff (1962) in relation to the functioning properties or otherwise of Brenner...
