BACKGROUND
We describe 12 patients with an atrophying dermatitis in whom the biopsy findings were compatible with tinea versicolor.
METHODS
We encountered 12 skin biopsies from 12 patients in whom a clinically atrophying dermatosis was associated with light microscopic (LM) evidence of atrophy and
We report on 3 consecutive sib fetuses, presenting at 13, 12, and 13 weeks of gestation, respectively, with fetal hydrops, limb contractures, and akinesia. Autopsy of the first fetus showed subcutaneous fluid collections and severe degeneration of skeletal muscle. Histologic studies demonstrated
We studied basophilic degeneration of heart muscle cells in 100 consecutive autopsies (74 males, 26 females). Except for two infants, the age of individuals whose tissue was studied ranged from 10 to 90 years (mean age, 68.3). Using histochemical and immunohistochemical methods, we found the
We report a late onset form of polysaccharide myopathy with progressive limb girdle muscles weakness, without cardiomyopathy. Muscle biopsy showed a vacuolar myopathy in type 1 fibres. The PAS positive diastase resistant deposits were made of filamentous material at electron microscopy similar to
A case of adenocarcinoma of the head of the pancreas in a 13-year-old girl is reported. Some areas simulated an islet cell tumor by light microscopy, but contained numerous eosinophilic granules which were PAS-positive and diastase resistant. Ultrastructurally, the granules were large (960 mum-3000
Hyaline cartilage of the talus of a diastrophic dwarf was studied by light and transmission electron microscopy before and after proteoglycan extraction or digestion, glycogen digestion, and enzyme marking. The nuclei of the chondrocytes were as a rule large and round and the cytoplasm contained
Axillary skin biopsies from fifteen patients with axillary hyperhidrosis who had received long-term treatment with aqueous aluminium chloride solution were examined histologically. The apocrine glands were normal, but the eccrine glands showed conspicuous morphological changes of varying severity.
A case of primary malignant mesenchymal tumour of the liver occurring in an 86-year-old woman is described. This very uncommon tumour has previously only been described in children and young adults, the previous oldest being 28 years of age. The tumour was large, rapidly growing though well
Hardening issue in starch-based products that arises during storage, is ascribed to the long-term starch retrogradation which involves the recrystallisation of amylopectin. Present study aimed to delay storage hardening with the addition of high diastase honey bee honey (HBH) and low diastase
An eosinophilic substance (ES) is usually observed in the mouse nasal septum and increases in volume with aging. It has been described as amyloid in textbooks and one report. However, it has been described as "not amyloid" in other reports because there was a negative reaction to Congo red. In this
The prostate gland normally secretes neutral mucosubstances that can be detected within the lumina of acini and ducts; adenocarcinomas often produce both acidic and neutral mucins, a feature that has been suggested to be of some diagnostic use. The presence of mucin-filled cells is not, however, a
The dermal-epidermal (DE) junction areas of skin specimens obtained from 16 patients with either lichen amyloidosis or macular amyloidosis were studied. In the dermal papillae where amyloid was deposited, elastic fibers frequently were absent, but periodic acid-Schiff reaction after diastase
A case of Whipple's disease (WD) personally observed is described. A 28-year-old male was admitted to hospital for evaluation of weakness, intermittent fever and weight loss arisen since a month. On clinical investigation, he complained of vomit and diarrhea since three months. He had neither
Progressive myoclonic epilepsy (PME) is a syndrome complex encompassing different diagnostic entities and often cause problems in diagnosis. We describe the clinical, electrophysiological and pathological features of 97 patients with the diagnosis of PME evaluated over 25 years. Case records of
Kufs disease, the late-onset form of a group of neurodegenerative disorders, known as the neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinoses, is characterized by intraneuronal/extraneuronal accumulation of proteins that are visible as fingerprint inclusions and granular osmiophilic deposits (GRODs) at the
