[Prevalence of fungal infections detected from biopsies and autopsies in the past 11 years at the University Hospital Joan XXIII in Tarragona, Spain].

Infectious diseases caused by fungal pathogens have increased in the past 10 years. More than 300 pathogenic fungal species have been incriminated as the etiologic agents. We carried out a retrospective study (1994-2004) to evaluate the prevalence of mycoses at the University Hospital Joan XXIII (330 beds).

Fine needle aspiration cytology of high grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the breast: a case report.

Background: Primary mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the breast is a very unusual tumor. It is often misdiagnosed, masquerading under different diagnoses. The cytologic assessment is especially difficult when the lesion is high grade.

[Histopathological diagnosis of mycoses].

Infectious diseases emerge as a cause of pathology in our patients. Among the possible etiologies, mycoses have shown a considerable increase in the two last decades. In general, the clinical features of fungal diseases are not very distinctive.
