[OA-14] Clinico-radio-pathological characters of intracranial germ cell tumours and the cut-off values of tumour markers
Intracranial germ cell tumours (ICGCTs) are rare; current treatment depends on tumour secreting status. ICGCTs with beta-hCG > 50 U/L or/and AFP > 10 ng/dL do not need histopathology before treatment initiation. Correlation of clinical, pathological diagnosis and reliability of tumour marker cut-off values are unknown. The aim of this study was to describe clinico-radio-pathological characters of ICGCTs, ...
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,...
