Epithelial myoepithelial carcinoma is a rare biphasic low grade neoplasm of salivary glands; it most commonly occurs in the parotid gland but can also arise in minor salivary glands. Here a case of 58-year-old female presented with left cheek swelling of one-year duration. CT scan revealed a localized submandibular salivary gland tumor mass not involving surrounding tissues. Histological examin...

thermo-sensitive polymers were prepared by graft copolymerization of gelatin with n-isopropylacrylamide via gamma radiation. characterization of polymers such as dsc analysis, swelling in different ratios and cell assays were investigated. dsc and solubility analysis showed gelatin and nipaam monomer were grafted via gamma radiation successfully. results show swelling of samples increased with ...

Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma (EMC) is considered as a rare malignant salivary gland neoplasm with good prognosis, low recurrence rate and rare metastasis. Here we present a case of epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma in a 42-year-old female with a swelling of 3-year duration in her palate. Histopathologic evaluation of the lesion demonstrated a well-circumscribed, biphasic salivary gland t...

objective: helicobacter pylori has a well-established role in the development of gastric cancer. in vitro studies reveal increased proliferation of the gastric mucosa in the presence of h. pylori infection. it has been also shown that production of some cytokines, such as interleukin-1 beta (il-1b) is increased in h. pylori infection. in addition, il-1b increases proliferation of gastric epithe...

A 2-year-old male hamster was presented because of left facial swelling and salivation. Necropsy wasperformed and affected cheek pouch with tissue samples of regional and internal organs were submitted forhistopathological study. In histopathological examination it was found that the tumor consisted of cords andislands of tumoric epithelial cells which were diffused in the dermis. Vacoulation o...
