Pelvic tumors in adolescent females are very uncommon. While the most common presentation is pelvic discomfort, we report the case of a 14-year-old female presenting with menorrhagia which is an unusual initial complaint for a large pelvic tumor. Adolescent females who present with heavy menstrual bleeding initially undergo assessment to rule out a bleeding disorder. In this case, careful histo...

We designed the study to investigate B7-H4 expression in ovarian carcinoma tissues and the correlation between B7-H4 expression and clinicopathological characteristics. We detected B7-H4 expression by immunohistochemical test in the tissues of 65 ovarian carcinoma cases and 40 controls. The correlation between each independent clinicopathological factor and B7-H4 expression was analyzed. The po...

Approximately 60% of all ovarian tumors are epithelial in origin, and these neoplasms are thought to arise from the ovarian surface epithelium or small epithelial inclusion cysts. Surface epithelium is capable of differentiating into serous (tubal), mucinous, endometrioid or transitional epithelium. Serous and mucinous cystadenomas are the most common epithelial tumors and, together, account fo...

Inhibin production has been demonstrated in malignant epithelial ovarian tumours, but secretion of inhibins by benign cystadenoma has not yet been reported. The present study evaluated the concentrations of inhibin A and inhibin B and the relationship with oestradiol and nitric oxide metabolites in fluid collected from benign ovarian serous cystadenomas (n = 15). In addition, follicular fluid s...

INTRODUCTION TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) together with its receptors are involved in activation of the extrinsic pathway of apoptosis. Due to the special role of the apoptosis pathway in pathogenesis of ovarian cancers, the aim of the study was to assess concentrations of sTRAIL, sTRAIL-R1 and sTRAIL-R2 in serum of affected women. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study group include...

Chhaya J Bhatt*, Kavita Vaishnav** *Associate Professor,**Assistant Professor, Dept of Radiology and Imaging Smt NHL Municipal Medical College,Ahmedabad Abstract: Aim: Adenocarcinoma is the commonest malignant mass whereas pseudocyst is the commonest benign mass in the pancreas. However our aim is to hig...

Heterotopic or ectopic pancreas is pancreatic tissue present at an abnormal location which not connected to the main pancreas. They are predominantly located in gastrointestinal tract, with stomach being most common site. Mostly asymptomatic, they usually detected incidentally during surgeries for other conditions. Preoperative diagnosis very difficult and definitive histopathological examinati...

background and objective: ovarian tumors are among the most frequent pathologic conditions in gynecologic practice and a frequent cause of hospitalization and surgery. the aim of this study was to determine histologic distribution of benign operated masses especially functional ovarian cysts. material and methods: benign ovarian files of operated patients (2961 cases) in 20 tertiary and seconda...

context the current literature suggests that minimally invasive surgery is associated with faster recovery and less morbidity than open surgery. parenchyma-sparing pancreatectomy is minimally invasive surgery, including enucleation, inferior head pancreatectomy, spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy, and central pancreatectomy, combined pancreatectomy such as inferior head pancreatectomy plus...
