This report describes the histological and immunohistochemical features of a small intestinal tumor that resembled a human gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GISTs) in a seven-year-old male cross-breed dog. This was unique because of the expression of desmin by the tumor. Grossly, the white-gray tumor measured 8.0 × 4.0 × 6.5 cm and was 760 gram in weight. It was cystic and enveloped the jejunum. ...

Keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT) is a benign intraosseous neoplasm of the jaw occurring most commonly in mandibular ramus molar area with male predilection. Peripheral KCOTs are very uncommon. Here we report a case of keratocyst in buccal mucosa in a 55 years old female patient, the diagnosis of which was based on subjective histological evaluation and further confirmed by immunohistochemi...

background and aim: salivary gland tumors classification continuously undergoes alternations, especially in the recent years. this study used immunohistochemical markers for distinguishing between polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma (plga) and adenocarcinoma carcinoma (adcc) which have several overlapping histological and clinical features. materials & methods: ten adcc and eight plga with fi...

Retroperitoneal leiomyosarcomas (LMSs) are rare gynecological malignancies that display poor prognosis and high mortality. Cell cycle-related and expression-elevated protein in tumor (CREPT) is an oncogene that is involved in the regulation of many cell cycle-related proteins. However, its distribution and clinical significance in retroperitoneal LMS remains poorly understood. This study assess...

Abstract Despite significant evidence that the expression of several microRNA’s (miRNA) impacts on disease activity in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), it remains unknown if more severe phenotype seen pediatric-onset UC can be explained by altered miRNA expression. In this study, we aimed to assess relationship between expression, age, and severity pediatric adult UC. Using RT-qPCR, analy...
