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...

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,...
