Lesions that were considered naturally occurring were surveyed in female SENCAR mice used in short-term bioassays. These lesions were encountered in selected target organs and in organs and tissues with gross lesions encountered at necropsy. The genitourinary system was the most frequent site for lesions; cystic ovaries, cystic endometrial hyperplasia, and glomerulonephritis were commonly encou...

Cystic pancreatic neoplasms comprise a heterogeneous group of pathologic entities. Mucinous cystic tumors and serous cystadenomas account for more than 75% of reported cases. While serous cystadenomas are almost uniformly benign, mucinous cystic tumors all have malignant potential and must be treated as such. While both clinical and biochemical features can distinguish among the various cystic ...

hyper - immunoglobulin e syndrome is a rare primary immunodeficiency disease characterized by recurrent abscess formation, respiratory tract infections and very high titers of serum ige associated with peculiar face and skeletal features. we report a seven-year old  girl  presenting with persistent productive cough and  history of chronic eczematoid facial lesions since infancy  and  two episod...

Aims: The study cytomorphologic features that distinguish cystic papillary thyroid carcinoma from other cystic thyroid lesions. Materials and Methods: This study was carried out in the department of pathology in a tertiary care health centre in north India over the period of one year. Results: Total 70 lesions showed cystic degeneration were included in the study. Out of 70 cases 18 were malign...

INTRODUCTION Cystic lesions of the pterygoid process are rare: there are only four case reports in PubMed. CASE REPORT Two new cases (one schwannoma and one cystic lymphangioma) are reported, with clinical, radiological and therapeutic aspects. DISCUSSION A literature review presents the semiology, radiology and treatment of cystic lesions of the pterygoid process.

BACKGROUND Solid pancreatic tumors such as pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), solid pseudopapillary tumor (SPT), and pancreatic endocrine tumor (PET) may occasionally manifest as cystic lesions. In this study, we have put together our accumulated experience with cystic manifestations of various solid tumors of the pancreas. METHODS From 2000 to 2006, 376 patients with pancreatic solid t...

Cystic tumors of the pancreas are less frequent than solid lesions and are often detected incidentally, as many of these lesions are small and asymptomatic. However, they may be associated with pancreatitis or have malignant potential. With advancements in diagnostic imaging, cystic lesions of the pancreas are being detected with increasing frequency. Many lesions can cause a pancreatic cyst, m...

Although cystic lesions of the pancreas are considered relatively rare, improved diagnostics have resulted in higher reported incidence. Cystic neoplasms comprise approximately 10% to 15% of primary cystic masses of the pancreas, and 1% to 15% of all pancreatic neoplasms. While non-neoplastic cystic lesions predominantly affect men with a wide age range, the vast majority of neoplastic cysts oc...
