Histopathological image classification is one of the most important steps for disease diagnosis. We proposed a method for multiclass histopathological image classification based on deep convolutional neural network referred to as coding network. It can gain better representation for the histopathological image than only using coding network. The main process is that training a deep convolutiona...

Hybrid tumors are very rare tumors composed of two different tumor entities, each of which conforms to an exactly defined tumor category. A 14-year-old boy was referred for an intraosseous painless lesion with a histopathological feature of multiple odontogenic lesions including calcifying odontogenic cyst, complex odontoma and ameloblastic fibro-odontoma. The final diagnosis considered to be a...

clinical and histopathological features of basal cell carcinoma (bcc) may differ according to the type of carcinogen involved. bcc arising from radiotherapy treatment has high incidence and its clinical and histopathological features may be different from bccs caused by other carcinogens. the aim of our study was to investigate any possible association between specific histopathological or clin...
