introduction: salivary gland tumors (sgts) are important parts of human neoplasms. the most common sgt is pleomorphic adenoma and the most common malignant sgts are mucoepidermoid carcinoma and adenoid cystic carcinoma (acc). metastasis-associated genes 1 (mta1), a member of the nucleosome remodeling and histone deacetylation complex, is one newly discovered gene which recruits histone deacetyl...

background and aims. mast cells are one of the characteristic factors in angiogenesis, growth, and metastatic spread of tumors. the distribution and significance of mast cells in many tumors have been demonstrated. however, few studies have evaluated mast cell infiltration in salivary gland tumors. in this study, mast cell counts were evaluated in benign and malignant salivary gland tumors. mat...

abstract primary neuroendocrine carcinoma of the breast is a very rare malignant tumor. there are not many cases reported in the english literature since it was first documented in 1983. reports on the imaging features, in particular the ultrasonographic features of this rare tumor are scarce. herein, we report a case of aggressive primary infiltrating neuroendocrine carcinoma of the breast, ma...

thyroid cancer, the most common endocrine malignancy worldwide, originates from follicular epithelial cells. it is classified as a well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma (wdtc), which includes both follicular (ftc) and papillary types (ptc), poorly differentiated thyroid carcinomas (pdtc), anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (atc), and/or arising from para-follicular calcitonin producing cells involve m...

giant cell carcinoma of the endometrium is a rare and an aggressive tumor that should be distinguished from other endometrial tumors with a prominent giant cell component, including trophoblastic tumors, certain primary sarcomas, and malignant mixed müllerian tumors. at present, cumulative data on this rare histological variant is limited and the prognostic significance of the presence and the ...

objective: a number of studies have demonstrated the potential antitumor effects of saffron and its constituents on different malignant cells in vitro. it has been reported that a novel glycoconjugate isolated from corms and callus of saffron possesses cytotoxic activity against different tumor cellswith nitric oxide (no) production. these data suggest that the cytotoxic effect of saffron extra...

 Abstract Bronchoalveolar carcinoma presenting as non-resolving consolidation is an uncommon presentation. The typical presentation of bronchoalveolar carcinoma is asymptomatic (solitary nodule) and remains without symptoms even as disease disseminates. We report a case of bronchoalveolar carcinoma presenting as non-resolving consolidation in a young male with productive cough, exertional ...

Abstract Background Breast carcinoma is uncommon in women under 25 and very rare in less than 20 years old. Only few cases of infiltrating breast carcinoma have been reported and among them there was no report of medullary subtype. The purpose of this report is to determine clinical, histopathological and sonographic findings of large mass in breast of young female patient that diagnosed as ...

Mucinous carcinoma of the breast is a well differentiated, rare histological type of invasive ductal carcinoma, seen in oldest median age (69 years). We describe a case of a 60 yr old female with large right breast mass of 10 years duration with no nodal involvement. The reasons to present this case are 1) Because of its rarity. 2) Despite having a large tumour size, the axillary lymph node ...
