Choriocarcinoma (CC) is a malignant tumor of trophoblastic tissue composed cytotrophoblastic, intermediate and syncytiotrophoblast cells. predominantly has gestational origin. The non-gestational type said to arise from the gonads pluripotent germ It rapidly invasive metastasizes widely, but it good response chemotherapy once identified. Metastatic choriocarcinoma are extremely rare in breast. ...

One hundred and one testicular tumours previously diagnosed as "teratoma" were examined and 93 of the patients were followed up. These neoplasm were assigned to one of three groups. Those compared exclusively of somatic tissues were the only tumours referred to as teratoma. The second group was exclusively extra embryonic and consisted of either yolk sac or choriocarcinoma. Neoplasms in the thi...

research about potential use of stem cells for the development of germ line cells in vitro had been challenged. in the present study, we reported a novel protocol consisting of cocktail growth factor addition for germ cell differentiation followed by transfection. the cells were purificated based on the expression on the cell surface of a protein. this protein is not present in normal cells of ...

testicular germ cell tumor (tgct) is the most solid tumor in 20-40 years old man. tgct account for 95% of testicular tumors and represent a unique type of human cancer from several different perspectives. tgct arise by transformation of germ cells. the transformed germ cells exhibit ploripotentially to differentiate into embryonic. extra-embryonic, and somatic tissue types, and are highly sensi...

Giant cell glioblastoma is an extremely rare variant of Glioblastoma (WHO grade IV) which is characterized by a predominance of bizarre, multinucleated giant cells. These tumors comprise of 0.8% of brain tumors and up to 5% of glioblastomas. In pediatric age group, these tumors are still uncommon with only around 53 published cases since 1952. Here, we report a case of a 12-year old female pat...

Ovarian sex cord-stromal tumors are relatively infrequent neoplasms that account for approximately 8% of all primary ovarian neoplasm. Sex cord-stromal tumors of the ovary include granulosa cell tumors, fibrothecomas, Sertoli-Leydigcell tumors, steroid cell tumors, and sclerosing stromal tumors (SST). Sclerosing stromal tumors account for 2% to 6% of ovarian stromal tumors. Despite the rarity o...
