INTRODUCTION The occurrence of clear cell tumors in the bladder is not uncommon. Clear cell dysplasia is well-described and characterized by focal replacement of transitional mucosa by cells with abundant clear cytoplasm, nuclear enlargement, and a granular chromatin pattern. Clear cells can also be seen in clear cell adenocarcinoma, which is rare, comprising 0.5% to 2.0% of the reported bladde...

TOPIC: Occupational and Environmental Lung Diseases TYPE: Fellow Case Reports INTRODUCTION: Infections caused by Cryptococcus neoformans occur mainly in immunocompromised hosts, most commonly present either as primary lower respiratory infections or secondary disseminated processes.

Hyalinizying clear cell carcinoma is a rare tumor which affects women more than men and is more common in minor salivary glands. The purpose of this paper was to describe a case of hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma of buccal vestibule in a 55-year-old woman. It is important to differentiate this neoplasm from other tumors with clear cell features because of their differences in treatment and cli...

Rhinosporidiosis is a chronic granulomatous disease of the nasal cavity caused by Rhinosporidium seeberi,1-4 which is an aquatic protozoan formerly considered to be a fungus.5 The disease, first described by Seeber in Argentina and O’Kinealy in India,1 is endemic to southern India and Srilanka.1-4 However, sporadic cases have been reported from other parts of the world including the United Stat...

After the first year of life the valves of the human heart become covered by filiform tags, known as Lambl's excrescences. These have been shown by Magarey (1949) to be the result of the organization of partially attached deposits of fibrin on the surface of the valve, and hence may be regarded as a normal ageing process. Lambl's excrescences rarely exceed 1 cm. in length and produce no patholo...

Primary sinonasal tract mucoepidermoid carcinomas (MEC) are uncommon tumors that are frequently misclassified, resulting in inappropriate clinical management. The design of this study is retrospective. Nineteen cases of MEC included 10 females and 9 males, aged 15-75 years (mean, 52.7 years); males, on average were younger by a decade than females (47.2 vs. 57.7 years). Patients presented most ...
