Comparative Immunohistochemical Staining for Chromogranin A and Synaptophysin in Intestinal Carcinoids

Tatsuo Tomita

Article Type: Research Article | First Published: September 16, 2019

Duodenal and ileal carcinoids were strongly positive for CgA, with or without invasion through intestinal wall. Small appendiceal carcinoids were weakly immunostained for CgA and SPY. Colorectal carcinoids were low-grade tumors especially those of small polypoid tumors (< 1.0 cm) with CgA-negative staining while larger tumors (> 2.0 cm) infiltrating through wall were more aggressive with often CgA positive staining. CgA positive carcinoids of duodenum, small intestine and colorectum of larger th...

Acrometastasis to Foot Revealing an Occult Lung Adenocarcinoma: Case Report and Literature Review

Ignez Candeloro and Bruno de Carvalho Dornelas

Article Type: Case Report and Literature Review | First Published: September 11, 2019

Metastases to the foot bones are uncommon and they mimic inflammatory conditions. Acrometastases may be the first manifestation of an unknown primary malignant disease. We report a case in which the first sign of lung adenocarcinoma was a pathological fracture due to metastasis to a proximal toe phalanx. A 68-year-old man was evaluated for pain in his fifth toe of the left foot after a trauma. Biopsy and immunohistochemistry reactions confirmed the metastatic lesion. Unfavorable clinical course ...

Extra-Nodal Non-Cutaneous Peripheral T cell Lymphoma: Common Peripheral Blood Findings and Clinical Follow Up

Hongwei Ma, Catherine Xie, Mohamed Masoud, Robin Williams and Ming Xie

Article Type: Research Article | First Published: September 07, 2019

Peripheral T cell lymphoma (TCL) is relatively uncommon and may involve lymph node, skin and extra-nodal non-cutaneous organs. Nodal TCL often presents as systemic disease with unfavorable outcomes. Extra-nodal non-cutaneous TCL, however, may remain as localized disease and be treated differently with favorable prognosis. This study revealed the common peripheral blood findings and clinical follow ups in patients with extra-nodal non-cutaneous mature TCL. There were 9 patients, 5 males and 4 fem...

Gumusay Ozge, Koseoglu Resit Dogan, Arici Akgul and Akin Ali

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: August 29, 2019

Solitary fibrous tumor is a rare soft-tissue neoplasm that is capable of metastasis of fibroblastic/ myofibroblastic cell origin. Although most of the cases are pleural in origin, extrapleural locations are reported with increasing frequency. Extrapleural cases are mostly seen in retroperitoneal location. Malignant forms are much rarer. The hemangiopericytomatous pattern is seen in many soft tissue tumors. Many cases with extrapleural/ extrathoracal locations that were previously diagnosed as he...

Influence of Image Manipulation Restricted to Global Alterations on Diagnosis by an Oral Cytologist

Aman Chowdhry, Keya Sircar and Deepika Bablani Popli

Article Type: Original Research | First Published: July 24, 2019

Cytology has always proudly been in forefront to absorb new technologic advances for practical use. The extensive and passionate implementation of digital imaging in telecytology, automated screening, education, training and certification, research, and publications is an appropriate example. Digitalization cytology records make its manipulation very simple. Several such manipulations, however, correspond to inappropriate changes and can affect final diagnosis of digital slides....

Article Type: Original Research | First Published: July 11, 2019

Craniopharyngiomas constitute 2 to 4% of intracranial neoplasms. Although this tumors exhibit a benign histopathological pattern, recurrence is commonly reported by cerebrospinal fluid seeding and direct brain invasion. The aim of this study was to analyses and recognizes craniopharyngioma pathological features in relationship to brain invasion as a prognostic factor. One hundred patients who were surgically treated for Craniopharyngiomas extending outside the sellar and suprasellar regions were...

Anubhuti Shrivastava, Shreenivas Kallianpur and Sandeep Gupta

Article Type: Research Article | First Published: June 17, 2019

The aim of our study was to evaluate the efficacy of n-Heptane (C7H16) as a xylene substitute for clearing, deparaffinizing and staining procedures in routine histopathology. 30 biopsied oral tissues were divided in two halves, each half was processed by xylene and n-Heptane respectively. Kappa statistical analysis established agreement between observers in all criteria's with significant p value < 0.05. The p value (> 0.05) was not statistically significant with Mann-Whitney U Test, for all cri...

Article Type: Retrospective Study | First Published: May 18, 2019

Glioblastoma, also known as glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), is the most aggressive primary brain cancer. GBM comprises 16% of all primary brain neoplasms with an incidence rate of 3.2 per 100,000 people. Patients with GBM have a poor prognosis, less than 5% of them survive for more than 5 years. In the treatment of GBM there is currently insufficient information to improve disease management because conventional treatments universally fail. Currently there is a crucial need to identify relevant t...

Predictive Value of Cerebrovascular Reserve in Patients with Carotid Artery Stenosis for Choosing Treatment Strategy

Аliev VA, Semenyutin VB and Panuntsev GK

Article Type: Review Article | First Published: April 08, 2019

The choice of treatment of carotid artery stenosis is firstly based on assessment of the degree of stenosis and embologeneity of the atherosclerotic plaque. But even in "good-risk" population it is still difficult to identify the patients who are particularly at high threat of stroke and would most benefit from carotid reconstruction. Along with common criteria numerous studies also focus on a prognostic role of a cerebrovascular reserve (CVR) and its state which allows to carry out more objecti...

Lineu Perrone Jr, Felipe Perozzo Daltoe, Luiz Carlos Areas Araujo, Fabio Daumas Nunes, Marina Helena Cury Gallottini and Andrea Mantesso

Article Type: Original Article | First Published: January 14, 2019

Mobius syndrome (MBS) is a rare congenital neurological disorder typically characterized by the absence or underdevelopment of the 6th and 7th cranial nerves, causing a loss of facial expression and strabismus. Other cranial nerves may be affected in addition to other structures such as the jaw, limbs, and anterior chest. While the primary cause of MBS has not yet been identified different hypotheses have been enumerated, including a possible genetic alteration. The Hoxb1 gene may be a good cand...
