preoperative gleason score (gs) obtained from trans rectal ultra sonography (trus) is the most common grading system to evaluate the appropriate treatment for patients with clinically localized prostate cancer. but this method showed upgraded and downgraded results in comparison to gleason score obtained from radical prostatectomy. the current study aimed to determine clinical or pathological v...

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...

Polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinomas are minor salivary gland neoplasms with a predilection for intraoral sites. Women are affected twice as frequently as men, and generally present in the fifth to sixth decade of life with a painless ihaoral mass. The palatal mass is, on average, about 2 cm in greatest dimension. The tumors are submucosal, identified below an intact mucosa as a well-circumsc...

background: gastric and colorectal adenocarcinoma are the second and the fifth most common cancers in iran, respectively. expression of cytokeratin 7 (ck7) is established in most malignancies including gastric and colorectal adenocarcinoma. demonstration of ck7 could be related to prognostic factors and help to the better management of the patients. the objective of our study was to evaluate th...

Polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma is a malignant epithelial tumour with low metastatic rate and infiltrative growth pattern. The palate is the most common site. Paranasal sinuses are uncommon venues for polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma. Here, we report a polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma case of the maxillary sinus, a very rare location. Although it is a low grade ...

Background and aims: When to perform oesophagectomy for neoplastic progression in Barrett’s oesophagus is controversial. Some resect for high grade dysplasia whereas others defer treatment until intramucosal adenocarcinoma is diagnosed. Interobserver agreement for a diagnosis of high grade dysplasia or intramucosal adenocarcinoma remains unknown and may have therapeutic implications. Methods: H...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS When to perform oesophagectomy for neoplastic progression in Barrett's oesophagus is controversial. Some resect for high grade dysplasia whereas others defer treatment until intramucosal adenocarcinoma is diagnosed. Interobserver agreement for a diagnosis of high grade dysplasia or intramucosal adenocarcinoma remains unknown and may have therapeutic implications. METHODS H...

Prostatic adenocarcinoma rarely may involve the urinary bladder. Prostatic adenocarcinoma and highgrade transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) may coexist and account for the malignant cells seen in urinary cytology. Differentiating prostatic adenocarcinoma cells from those of TCC is important for therapy but remains difficult. A 10-year retrospective search identified 250 patients with high-grade c...
