childhood. Forty-four per cent of the cases had history of severe eczema occurring early in childhood, probably corresponding to the infective dermatitis associated to the HTLV-I. Myelopathy associated with HTLV-I (HAM) was present in 13.5% of cases. According to the classification of Shimoyama et al (1991) 22 cases were classified as lymphoma (29.7%), 21 as smoldering (28.4%), 19 as acute (25....

Accessory liver lobe (ALL) is a rare congenital abnormality characterized by the presence of hepatic tissue outside of, but attached to, the liver. ALL is usually asymptomatic, but in the case of torsion, it can be confused with an acute surgical emergency or a tumoral mass. Conventional imaging is often inconclusive, and diagnosis is generally made during laparotomy. We report the case of a pa...

  Background and Objectives: There are a few studies on histopathologic type of oral lesions especially from Iran. The aim of this study was to survey the oral lesions in Babol, northern Iran. Methods: The histopathology records were retrospectively reviewed for all lesions of oral cavity and jaws, during the years 1990 to 2009. The data were collected from the archive of pathology and analyz...

Mimickers of soft tissue tumours in the hand and wrist are more frequent than true neoplastic lesions. Pseudotumours belong to a large and heterogeneous group of disorders, varying from normal anatomical variants, cystic lesions, post-traumatic lesions, skin lesions, inflammatory and infectious lesions, non-neoplastic vascular lesions, metabolic disorders (crystal deposition disease and amyloid...

Intraventricular and ependymal lesions comprise a wide spectrum of tumoral, cystic, vascular, infectious and inflammatory disorders. With respect to tumoral and cystic diseases, the location, age and CT and MRI patterns are the main factors for diagnosis. The MRI findings of infectious diseases are supported by the clinical history, immune status and laboratory findings. Intracranial associated...

Recent advances in sequencing technology have allowed us to profile genome-wide mutations of various cancer types, revealing huge heterogeneity of cancer genome variations. However, its heterogeneous landscape of somatic mutations according to liver cancer progression is not fully understood. Here, we profiled the mutations and gene expressions of early and advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HC...

A 29 yrs-old patient was referred to our hospital due to generalized convulsions. She had hyperthyroidism treated with methimazole. Her MRI showed 4 metastatic lesions in the brain. She had a goiter with a "cold" nodule and a palpable ipsilateral lymph node. The FNAB disclosed a papillary thyroid carcinoma. Under 5 mg of MMI treatment, she had a subclinical hyperthyroidism and TRAb were 47.8% (...

The work assessment is to analyze eyelid tumors diagnosed in the last years in our hospital. We found 471 tumoral and pseudotumoral cases, in which malignant tumors predominated, with 255 cases. The most affected age range was the sixth decade and the majority of tumors were located to lower eyelid. The histopathological study allowed us to establish the lesions type and subtype. The Meibomian ...

Objectives: The liver is a common site for primary as well secondary malignancies. Ultrasonography (USG)-guided fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) rapid, accurate, economical, and safe diagnostic procedure various hepatic lesions. aims of the study were to categorize cytomorphological features lesions, age sex distribution analyzing cytological evaluate sensitivity, specificity, accuracy US...
