Peritoneal keratin granuloma is a rare lesion included under granulomatous lesions of the peritoneum. It can be of infectious and non-infectious etiology. The lesion presents as a large intra-abdominal necrotic mass often misinterpreted clinically as a disseminated carcinoma. We report a case of peritoneal keratin granuloma in a 50-year-old male following peritonitis. Histomorphology revealed l...

Alterations in histomorphological features of the pelvic ureter such as muscle fiber orientation have been implicated in the etiology of vesicoureteric reflux. Consequently, anatomical sex differences in the histomorphology of the pelvic ureter may explain the female predisposition to this disease. Reports of these differences are, however, scarce. Twelve adult pelvic ureters (6 male and 6 fema...

Effects of feeding dietary defatted black soldier fly ( Hermetia illucens ) larvae meal (HI) on intestine microbiota, and histomorphology, oxidative enzyme activities in liver pikeperch Sander lucioperca were investigated. Four isoproteic (45% crude protein) isolipidic (18% ether extract) diets formulated to include 0% (CO), 9% (HI9), 18% (HI18) 36% (HI36) HI as replacement for fishmeal at 0, 2...

Histopathology is the most useful tool for diagnosis of a number of diseases, especially cancer. To be effective, histopathology requires that tissues be fixed prior to processing. Formalin is currently the most common histologic fixative, offering many advantages: it is cheap, readily available, and pathologists are routinely trained to examine tissues fixed in formalin. However, formalin fixa...

Objective: Physiological outcomes in patients of cloacal exstrophy are governed primarily by neurological innervation and detrusor histomorphology. An evaluation of the bladder plate histomorphology for the presence of neural elements, collagen fibres and smooth muscle components was done and correlation attempted with detrusor physiology. Methods: From three cases of cloacal exstrophy, full th...

Osteoporotic vertebral fracture (OVF) is a worldwide health concern and lacks sufficient basic studies. Suitable animal models should be the foundation for basic study and treatment of OVF. There have been few studies on the development of animal models of osteoporotic vertebral bone defects. OVF models using various animal species should be developed to evaluate the therapeutic strategy in pre...

Invasive lobular breast cancer (ILC) is the most common special histological type of (BC). This review recapitulates developments in histomorphologic assessment ILC from its beginnings with seminal work Foote and Stewart, which was published 1941, until today. We discuss different concepts their implications. These include (i) BC arising mammary lobules, (ii) growing dissociated cells single fi...
