Psoriatic arthritis associated with peliosis hepatis: characteristics and therapeutic management.

Peliosis hepatis is characterized by hepatic sinusoidal dilatation and multiple blood-filled cystic cavities within the liver parenchyma. It can be due to infectious diseases, immunological disorders, neoplasia, and the use of various kinds of drugs. We presented the case of a nonsmoker 55-year-old man who complained about a 5-month history of arthritis.

Comparative expression profile of CD10 and cyclin D1 in cutaneous histiocytofibroma and dermatofibrosarcoma.

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) and histiocytofibroma (HF) are two rare fibrohistiocytic tumors, with some overlapping pathologic features. Immunohistochemistry is very useful in these cases. CD34 is a commonly used marker.

EpCAM (MOC-31) - immunohistochemical expression in papillary thyroid carcinoma and non invasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary-like nuclear features (NIFTP).

Introduction: Ep-CAM, is a cell adhesion glycoprotein located on the basolateral cell membrane surface and in the cytoplasm of most normal epithelial cells. It has also been described to be expressed in several malignancies such as lung, digestive, prostate and renal carcinomas suggesting it has a potential role in carcinogenesis.  In thyroid carcinoma, Ep-CAM expression has rarely been studied especially in papillary thyroid carcinoma.
