Molecular diagnosis of synovial sarcoma: A comparative study with histologic correlation in Ramathibodi Hospital
Synovial sarcoma (SS) is a relatively common sarcoma of soft tissue arising in extremities of young adult, which is often diagnosed by histology and immunohistochemistry (IHC). Synovial sarcoma can be found in various locations and may cause diagnostic dilemma in tumors arising in unusual locations. In this study, we evaluated the application of...
Non-functioning adrenal cortical adenoma arising in adrenohepatic fusion, mimicking hepatocellular carcinoma – a case report
Adrenal cortical adenoma arising in adrenohepatic fusion is an exceedingly rare occurrence. It can potentially be misinterpreted as hepatocellular carcinoma as they share radiologic and histologic similarities. We report an incidental subcapsular adrenal cortical adenoma arising in adrenohepatic fusion tissue in segment 7 of the liver...
Mantle cell lymphoma presenting as multiple lymphomatous polyposis of colon: A case report.
Mantle cell lymphoma is a clinically aggressive lymphoma with a poor prognosis. Secondary involvement of gastrointestinal tract by this neoplasm is not uncommon but the primary involvement with distinguished multiple lymphomatous polyposis is unusual. We report a case of mantle cell lymphoma presenting as multiple lymphomatous...
Incomplete pentalogy of Cantrell: a case report
Pentalogy of Cantrell is a rare congenital syndrome characterized by defects involving the supra-umbilical abdominal wall, lower sternum, anterior diaphragm, pericardium, and the intra-cardiac anomalies. The ensuing congenital heart disease is a source of major morbidity. The full spectrum of the syndrome is rare while incomplete expression of the...
Disseminated Tuberculosis in a Mother with Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma resulting in Placental and Inferred Congenital Tuberculosis: An Autopsy Case Report
Tuberculosis of the placenta is a rare condition which mainly occurs in the immunosuppressed individuals especially in acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and hematologic malignancy9. Tuberculosis can spread to the fetus via hematogenous or cervicovaginal route and result in congenital tuberculosis....
Frontoethmoidal encephalomeningocele histopathology and proposed mechanism of developing lesion
The purpose of this study is to describe histopathological fi ndings of frontoethmoidal meningoencephalocele (FEEM), and to correlate with the embryogenesis. The study materials were gathered from 86 cases of FEEM, during 1995-2005. The histopathology was observed in terms of the pattern of the lesion, the relation to the skin and surrounding soft tissue,...
The effect of calcitonin upon the proliferation of giant cell tumor ; Preliminary of 9 cases
Giant cell tumor is one of the most common primary bone tumors in adult. Current therapy is still curettage and bone graft packing with adjuvant chemical and thermal cautery. However, the rate of recurrence is rather high ranging from 20 to 85 % and many attempts have been made to decrease this rate. Some inves- tigators showed that the cells of...
