A 38-year-old Caucasian male died following complications of a myocardial infarct. He had been obese and reportedly hyperphagic. At autopsy an 8-cm-in-diameter suprasellar epidermoid cyst was discovered to have destroyed much of his frontal lobe tissue. The histogenesis and classification of this
To address the possible involvement of hyperinsulinemia in breast cancer development, we have examined the susceptibility of lean and obese Zucker rats to N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU)-induced mammary cancer. Fifty-day-old female lean or obese Zucker rats received intraperitoneal (i.p.) injections of
Epidermoid cysts account for a small fraction of intracranial brain tumors, most commonly found in the cerebellopontine angle and parasellar cisterns. Here we present a rare case of an epidermoid cyst located in the suprasellar region, specifically originating from the infundibulum. Only one

Recent findings in familial hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) demonstrated loss-of-function mutations of components of the γ-secretase (GS) complex leading to decreased protease cleaving activity, which may compromise canonical Notch signalling. Appropriate Notch signalling is of pivotal importance for
