Growth hormone-releasing pituitary microadenoma overshaded by a macroadenoma: a case of double pituitary adenomas and review of the literature.

Objectives: Double pituitary adenoma is a rare entity that can pose a significant challenge. The incidence of double or multiple pituitary adenomas is ∼1% in autopsy cases and 0.4-1.

Desmoplastic fibroma of the jaw bones: A series of twenty-two cases.

Desmoplastic fibroma (DF) is an intraosseous counterpart of desmoid-type soft tissue fibromatosis. It is most frequently seen in the jawbones. The clinical and radiological features of the present cases were nonspecific.

Effects of melatonin on uterine hypertrophy/hyperplasia: A preliminary experimental rat study.

Endometrial hyperplasia is a process of endometrial proliferation that results in a thickening of the endometrial tissue. Melatonin might be able to change the pathophysiological process and prognosis into a positive way that might prevent and heal endometrial hyperplasia, which is the first stage of endometrial cancer. For this perspective, we tried to investigate the effect of melatonin on uterine hypertrophy/hyperplasia in an experimental rat model.

Coexistence of sclerosing polycystic adenosis and dysgenetic polycystic disease of parotid, Report of a case.

Sclerosing polycystic adenosis (SPA) is a rare benign salivary gland lesion. Dysgenetic polycystic disease (DPD), which is a histologically similar lesion, may cause a lattice-like gross appearance with bilateral enlargement of the entire salivary glands. In this report, we present a case of SPA in the right parotid and coexistent DPD involving the both parotid.

Parenchymal changes of salivary glands adjacent to a variety of salivary gland disorders.

A fully developed tumor is the first manifestation of a typical salivary gland neoplasm. Identification of precursor lesions and the accompanying clinical findings may improve our understanding of these tumors. The frequency of possible precursor lesions of salivary gland tumors have not been systematically investigated to date.

A series of 240 odontogenic keratocysts: Should we continue to use the terminology of 'keratocystic odontogenic tumour' for the solid variant of odontogenic keratocyst?

Most of the odontogenic keratocysts show an indolent behaviour like non-neoplastic lesions. For this reason, the odontogenic keratocyst was reclassified within the odontogenic cysts category in the WHO 2017 classification. Some odontogenic keratocysts may contain satellite cysts or solid squamoid islands within their wall.
