Incidental finding of solitary fibrous tumor of male breast: case report and review of literature.

Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) of the breast is a rare mesenchymal tumor composed of spindle-shaped tumor cells with collagen and large blood vessels in the shape of a "staghorn". It is discovered anywhere in the human body, usually incidentally or through nonspecific symptoms. A combination of clinical, histological, and immunohistochemical features is required to establish a diagnosis.

Ectopic leiomyoma as a late complication of laparoscopic hysterectomy with power morcellation: a case report and review of the literature.

Electromechanical power morcellation is a widely used technique to extract uterine fibroids during laparoscopic hysterectomy. Although the complication rate of morcellators is low, ectopic leiomyoma can appear several years after their use. We present a case of an ectopic leiomyoma and a literature review of power morcellation-induced complications and ectopic leiomyoma.

Fatal case of metastatic cellular fibrous histiocytoma: case report and review of literature.

Background: Cellular fibrous histiocytoma was first described in 1994 as a distinct variant of fibrous histiocytoma. Since then, at least 21 cases of cellular fibrous histiocytomas metastasizing to regional lymph nodes and/or lungs have been described, though not all fatal.

Case: We report the case of a 68-year-old male patient who presented with a large ulcerated skin tumor on the left thigh.

Effects of portal vein arterialization on liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy in the rat.

Although portal venous supply is considered essential to preserve hepatic integrity, in this study, effects of portal arterialization on liver regeneration were evaluated in a rat model of partial hepatectomy (PH). Ninety-six Lewis rats were randomly assigned to four groups of 24 rats each: PH only (group 1), PH with either venous or arterialized portal supply (groups 2 and 3, respectively), and PH without portal supply (group 4). Liver regeneration rate (LRR), 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine (BrdU) labeling index, and liver biological characteristics were assessed on days 1, 2, 3, and 7.
