In order to prove that ectopic over-expression of Pim-2 could induce malignant transformation of human liver cell line L02, three groups of cells were set up including human liver cell line L02 (L02), L02 cells transfected with Pim-2 gene (L02/Pim-2) and L02 cells transfected with empty-vector (L02/Vector). Pim-2 expression levels were detected. The morphology, proliferation level, apoptosis ra...

A case of malignant rhabdoid tumor (MRT) occurring as a primary hepatic neoplasm in a 12-month-old Japanese female infant is presented. The patient had a slight fever for 2 weeks and presented with a palpable mass in her left hypochondrial region. After admission, the hepatic artery was embolized due to intra-abdominal hemorrhage arising from the tumor. The patient received chemotherapy with ci...

epitheloid hemangioendothelioma (ehe) is an uncommon angiocentric neoplasm of intermediate malignant potential. this tumor is frequently seen in the lungs and liver, but its presentation in the oral cavity is rare. in the oral cavity, gingival region is the common sites of occurrence. we report a rare case of epitheloid hemangioendothelioma in a 48-year-old male, presenting as a growth in the u...

Background: Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) is a relatively rare bile duct neoplasm in the multistep carcinogenesis pathway towards cholangiocarcinoma. The diagnosis of IPNB is challenging, and its malignant potential means that its prognosis is related to the performance of R0 resection. We experienced a patient with IPNB detected during close examination of colonic dise...

BACKGROUND Although intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) of the pancreas is acceptable as a distinct disease entity, the concept of mucin-secreting biliary tumors has not been fully established. CASE PRESENTATION We describe herein a case of mucin secreting biliary neoplasm. Imaging revealed a cystic lesion 2 cm in diameter at the left lateral segment of the liver. Duodenal endoscop...

A solitary fibrous tumour is an unknown neoplasm that fibroblastic in nature. It causes diagnostic difficulty due to its unexpected Immunophenotypic appearance as well wide histologic appearance, but most of the time it accurately diagnosed histological characteristics and strong positivity CD34 expression.SFT known occur almost all parts body including meninges skin. This a slow-growing can be...

Two infants with mesenchymal hamartoma of the liver are reported. This lesion clinically simulates a malignant neoplasm very closely and awareness is essential to avoid unnecessary major hepatic resections. The cases were successfully treated with simple enucleation.
