A primary osteosarcoma occurred in the left ovary of a 47-year-old Japanese woman. The preoperative diagnosis, based on computerized tomography, was cystic teratoma. The excised tumor was composed of large multilocular cysts containing blood and associated with an area of solid tissue.
Uterine sarcomas are rare tumors that account for 3% to 7% of uterine cancers. Their histopathologic classification was revised by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2003. The objectives of this study were to determine the frequency of different subtypes of uterine sarcoma applying the WHO
Laboratory measurements can be used to detect, classify, and monitor patients with breast cancer. This review covers in detail the clinical usefulness of carcino embryonic antigen, tissue polypeptide antigen, various glycoproteins, pregnancy-associated proteins, casein, lactalbumin,
Basophilic hepatic foci, nodules, and trabecular hepatocellular carcinomas, collectively referred to as focal hepatic lesions, were induced by single injections of 5.0 micrograms of diethylnitrosamine (DEN) per gram body weight in 15-day-old C57BL/6J X C3HeB/FeJ F1 (B6C3 F1) mice. Groups of eight
The general trend on the treatment for prostatic carcinoma has been changing from endocrine therapy alone to an alternative type according to stage. We evaluated clinically the favorable and unfavorable outcome of endocrine therapy in Japan, so that others will be appropriately evaluated. In a
The initial biochemical data (serum[S]-carcinoembryonic antigen, S-lactate dehydrogenase, S-gammaglutamyl transferase, S-alkaline phosphatase urine[U]-creatinine, and three urinary quantities related to collagen metabolism) and surgical pathology data (tumor size, grade of tumor anaplasia, number of
The authors report the case of a 7-year-old boy with a history of developmental delay who presented with aggressive behavior. A magnetic resonance (MR) image showed a mass lesion originating from the cerebellar vermis with an atypical folial pattern and contrast enhancement. Histologically, the
Meningiomas in general are circumscribed slow-growing tumors. However, despite gross total resection, tumor relapse and patients' outcome are still an issue. Risk stratification based on histomorphology alone remains problematic. This study explored the independent prognostic value of potential risk
