hemangioma of the ovary is reported in a 66 years old woman. vascular tumors of the female genital tract are rare, especially those of the ovaiy. most cases are discovered incidentally. the case presented here was missed clinically.

Background: New blood vessels formation is a critical step in tumor progression. Vascular density affects the clinical outcome and prognosis of malignant tumors. The aim of this study was to investigate the relation between the Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) expression and vascular density with the clinical and histopathologic features in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). &nbsp...

introduction: vascular abnormalities are relatively uncommon lesions, but head and neck is a common region for vascular malformation which is classified as benign tumors. in this paper, the authors report a rare presentation of vascular malformation in the tongue and its managements. case report: an 18 months 2 old child presented with a giant mass of tongue which caused functional and aestheti...

Primary angiosarcoma of bone is very rare.It occurs more commonly in middle-age and later life, with a male predominance in the ratio of 2:1. Angiosarcoma of bone has a tendency to involve the long tubular bones, and multifocal involvement is common. Here, we present a case of a 69-yr-old man in Shahid Sadooghi Hospital of Yazd in 2014 that had angiosarcoma of the left tibia. He was treated wit...

Background & Objective: Recent studies from gene profiling have revealed some genes that are overexpressed in the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process and are responsible for its initiation and activation resulting in tumor progression and metastasis. The present study aimed to assess the role of genes involved in the EMT process and the association of these genes wi...

breast cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related death in female, after lung cancer. angiogenesis is essential for tumor growth and metastasis; therefore, antiangiogenesis strategies for treatment of cancer are currently an issue of interest. the role of vascular endothelial growth factor that assumed to be most potent angiogenesis factor is ambiguous in breast cancer. this study descri...

Glioblastoma is one of the most common brain tumors in adults with poor prognosis, aggressiveness, and treatment resistance. Vasculogenic mimicry (VM) consists of generating vascular-like channels by tumor cells, independent of endothelial angiogenesis. Studies showed in glioblastoma, the proportion of VM to all vascular channels is associated with poor prognosis and higher invasiveness levels....

littoral cell angioma is a splenic vascular tumor of splenic sinus lining cells that is considered benign in general. this report describes a case of littoral cell angioma with no malignant histological features. the lesion is composed of anastomosing vascular channels resembling splenic sinus; they are lined by endothelial cells which show mitotic activity very rare. immunohistochemically, the...
