Opening hysterectomy specimens for pathological assessment can be performed before or after formalin fixation. The former method, preferred by most pathologists, limits the autolytic changes of the endometrium, but it may result in a distortion of the uterine wall as a result of the contraction of the myometrium. This may interfere with the assessm...

Non-thyroid malignancies to the thyroid gland resulting from distant metastases are extremely rare, and such cases are rarely seen in clinical settings. The question of how a tumor metastasizes to the thyroid remains unanswered. Here we report a case of lung adenocarcinoma metastasizing to the thyroid gland. The article covers the pathological feat...

Enteric duplication cysts are rare congenital anomalies. They are lined by gastrointestinal mucosa, connected to the digestive tract, and share smooth muscle layers and a common blood supply. In rare cases, duplication cysts are isolated from the digestive tract and have a unique blood supply. No patient with isolated duplication cysts that are loc...

Despite conventional histopathological and immunohistochemical methods, difficulties may be experienced in the differential diagnosis of pediatric cancers, especially in small round-cell undifferentiated tumors. In these cases, the determination of chromosomal abnormalities may be helpful. The aim of this study was to evaluate the place of the whol...

Mucosal melanoma (MM) occurs in non-cutaneous mucosal sites, e.g., the head and neck or the lower genital tract; it is a rare and aggressive neoplasm with a poor prognosis. To date, few prognostic markers of MM have been well-defined. The aim of this study is to clarify the prognostic value of the cell-cycle regulatory proteins (CDK4, pRb and Cycli...

Dendritic fibromyxolipoma, a rare subtype of lipoma, mainly occurs in the neck, back, and chest wall. Here, we describe the first reported case located in the parotid gland. It happened in a 24-year-old woman with a well-demarcated painless mass. Pathologically, the tumor was characterized by small spindle and stellate cells, an unequal number of m...

Follicular dendritic cell (FDC) sarcoma is a rare, low-grade malignant tumor originating from follicular dendritic cells in germinal centers that accounts for 0.4% of all soft tissue sarcomas. FDC sarcoma is classified into two types, the classic FDC sarcoma and inflammatory pseudotumor (IPT)-like follicular dendritic cell (FDC) sarcoma, the latter...

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease. Degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM) in chondrocytes is closely related to joint destruction in OA progression. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been reported to play important roles in progression of OA. However, the roles of miR-497-5p in OA process and its underlying mechanism remain not been well...

We evaluated the expression of autotaxin-lysophosphatidate signaling-related proteins and the clinical implications for metastatic breast cancer. We constructed tissue microarrays (TMA) with 126 cases of metastatic breast cancer [31 (24.6%) bone metastases, 36 (28.6%) brain metastases, 11 (8.7%) liver metastases, and 48 (38.1%) lung metastasis], an...

Glioblastomais is one of the main universal, primary brain cancers, in adults, that has an extremely poor clinical prognosis and a median living period of 12-15 months, accounting for nearly 3-4% of all cancer-related deaths. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play key roles in cancer pathogenesis by binding the specific and complementary sequences of the 3'UTR of...
