Primary cerebral rhabdomyosarcomas are very rare and malignant tumors that occur predominantly in the posterior fossa of pediatric patients. We report a rare case of primary cerebral rhabdomyosarcoma located in the supratentorial compartment of a 51 year-old woman together with a review of the pertinent Literature especially regarding the histological diagnosis and pitfalls.

BACKGROUND Micronuclei (MN) in oral exfoliative cells have been shown to indicate a disparaging change in genetic information of the cell. Recent studies showed correlation between the frequency of MN and severity of this damage. Grading of lesions can be used to determine the austerity of this damage. Aims: The aim of this study is to compare the MN frequency in oral exfoliated cells of normal...

Abstract Rib biopsy can be challenging. A spectrum of bone techniques are available to undertake Bone and yield a histological specimen. In this technical report, we described new Piggyback technique performing rib decrease the incidence pneumothorax consolidate diagnostic accuracy.

BACKGROUND Thyroid core biopsies obtained with ultrasound (US)-guided needles are an alternative to conventional fine-needle aspiration and, according to various authors, have greater sensitivity and specificity. The technique is inexpensive, rapid and reliable with a low rate of complications, similar to conventional fine-needle aspiration procedures. OBJECTIVES This paper critically reviews...

the adrenal gland of notopterus notopterus (pallas) consisted of interrenal and chromaffin cells, distributed around the main branches of posterior cardinal vein in most anterior part of the pronephric kidney. seasonal histological characteristics of the interrenal and chromaffin cells in relation to testicular activity of n. notopterus were studied by adopting different staining techniques. th...

quantitative histology of the descended testis of unilateral cryptorchid bucks was compared with testis of normal bucks to evaluate the reproductive potentials of the scrotal testis in unilateral cryptorchids, using light microscopy techniques. the contralateral scrotal testes of the unilateral cryptorchids and the testes of the normal bucks contained profiles of seminiferous epithelium and eac...

Descriptions of the presence of blood vessels in the valves of human hearts vary. Using routine histological, injection, and clearing techniques, the majority of authors have described vessels in the attached portion of the cusp, but differ on the incidence of this observation and its relation to completely normal histological valve structure. Thus Gross (1921) demonstrated blood vessels in 6 p...
