chondroma is a benign tumor which mostly occurs in extremities but also sometimes in brain. most intracranial chondromas arise from skull base, but chondroma of falx origin is a rare circumstance. indeed, the intracranial chondromas rise from falx is mostly in relation with syndromic disorders such as mafucci's syndrome or ollier's syndrome. here, we reported a rare case of falxian intracranial...

schwannomas are benign neoplasms with unknown etiology, which apparently arise from neural sheath schwann cells. intraoral schwannomas are solitary, slow-growing lesions occurring at different ages; these lesions are normally asymptomatic and in some cases, they are accompanied by pain and paresthesia if spotted in the intraosseous regions of the mandibles. definitive diagnosis of schwannoma is...

despite of the fact that the vulva contains a high density of apocrine and anogenital mammary glands in addition to eccrine glands and folliculosebaceous units, the benign vulvar adnexal tumours are rare. though the varied clinical presentation and diverse histopathological spectrum of vulvar neoplasms has amazed the pathologists, only few studies have been reported in literature. the present f...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the rate of morbidity and mortality associated with colorectal polyps after the next 8-years period of endoscopic polypectomy, in a high risk managed care population. MATERIAL AND METHOD Cohorts of 77 subjects with benign neoplasms were identified with a colonoscopy in 1999. Three groups of subjects: benign neoplasms with polypectomy, benign neoplasms without polypectom...

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...

Salivary gland neoplasms account for 0.5-2% of all tumors worldwide, and can display a remarkable range of morphological diversity between different tumor types. The aim of this retrospective study was to present the clinico-pathologic characteristics of salivary gland neoplasms in a tertiary referral hospital in northwest region of Nigeria. Clinical and histopathological records of patients wi...

lipoma, a benign tumor of adipose tissue is one of the most common benign neoplasms of the body. however, its occurrence in oral cavity is very rare. it accounts for 1 to 4% of benign neoplasms of mouth affecting predominantly the buccal mucosa, floor of mouth and tongue. we report three cases of intraoral lipoma, two in buccal mucosa and one in labial mucosa. an excisional biopsy was performed...

background: salivary gland tumors are relatively uncommon and they consist of 3-10% of head and neck neoplasms. most of studies have shown geographic variation in the incidence and histopathologic types of salivary gland neoplasms. the aim of this study was to evaluate the salivary gland tumors in isfahan for 10 years duration. materials and methods: in this epidemiological study, 229 medical r...

Historically benign liver tumors were encountered incidentally during laparotomy or more re‐ cently during laparoscopy at which time definitive histological diagnosis can be established. However, with the utilization of advanced imaging modalities hepatic neoplasms have been in‐ creasingly identified, with a prevalence rate of up to 50% reported among the general popula‐ tion [1]. Among these i...
