bronchogenic cyst/プロゲステロン

BACKGROUND To identify and estimate the prevalence of mediastinal cysts lined by the epithelium expressing steroid receptors. METHODS We retrieved 19 mediastinal cysts from our pathology files from 1996 to 2004, and examined estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) expressions in the

Mediastinal cysts with Mullerian differentiation are characterized by oestrogen receptor and progesterone receptor positive cell linings. We treated four patients with mediastinal cysts with Mullerian differentiation. All patients were female, from 46 to 52 years old, and had BMIs greater than 26

The Authors describe a very rare congenital case of bronchogenic subcutaneous cyst of the scapular region occurring in a 8-year-old girl. Only 8 other cases have been published so far. The cyst was asymptomatic and was surgically removed. It measured 2.3 cm. in diameter. Histologically, the cyst was

Cystic lesions can be occasionally be found in the mediastinum, and typically include bronchogenic cysts, esophageal duplication cysts, and neuroenteric cysts. In 2005, Hattori described the first mediastinal cyst with Mullerian differentiation. Since that time, three other authors have described

BACKGROUND A Müllerian cyst is a recently defined rare benign tumor of the posterior mediastinum. It is necessary to distinguish it from neurogenic tumor or bronchogenic cyst arising in the posterior mediastinum. Herein, we have reported and reviewed a case of Müllerian cyst in the light of the

Cysts of probable müllerian origin have recently been recognized in the mediastinum by Hattori (Virchows Arch. 2005;446:82-84; Chest. 2005;128:3388-3390). In a retrospective study, we found 9 such cases, accounting for 5.5% of a series of 163 consecutive mediastinal nonneoplastic cysts operated in
