Hepatic Angiomyolipoma: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Hepatic angiomyolipoma (HAML) is an uncommon primary liver tumor with limited reported cases in the literature. It is composed of varying amounts of fat, smooth muscle, and blood vessels, typically non-malignant proliferation. It usually presents diagnostic challenges due to diverse imaging characteristics.

Florfenicol induces malformations of embryos and causes altered lipid profile, oxidative damage, neurotoxicity, and histological effects on gonads of adult sea urchin, Paracentrotus lividus.

The frequent occurrence of antibiotics in the aquatic environment has engendered negative impacts on non-target organisms. The effects of the veterinary antibiotic florfenicol (FLO) during the embryo-larval development of the sea urchin, Paracentrotus lividus was assessed using four increasing concentrations (1, 2, 5 and 10 mg/L). Furthermore, FLO toxicity to adults was investigated through the analysis of oxidative damage, histopathological alterations, lipid metabolism and acetylcholinesterase activity following an exposure period of 96 h.

Thus far, no particular risk factors have been identified. We present a case of synchronous multiple primary cancers of the stomach and kidney in a 67-year-old female presenting with a 3-month history of vomiting and abdominal pain.

Multifocal nodular lesions in fatty liver mimicking neoplastic disease: a case report.

Usually, fatty hepatic infiltration is diffuse and homogeneous. However, in some cases, it can be localized simulating benign or malignant tumors. We present a case of a 61-year-old female patient with family history of malignancy: sister with lung cancer, an other sister with colon cancer and a mother with breast cancer; who presented with multiple hepatic nodules at the ultrasonography images.

Colonic tuberculosis: a case report.

Aim: Colonic tuberculosis is rare. It accounts for 2-3% of abdominal tuberculosis. Clinical, radiological and endoscopic features are nonspecific.

A pancreatic metastasis of anaplastic thyroid carcinoma: a rare case report.

Unlabelled: Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is a rare malignancy with a poor prognosis. It is characterized by abrupt development with local and distant metastases. Metastases are essentially present in the lung.

Collision tumor of the appendix incidentally discovered in a patient diagnosed with an adenocarcinoma of the colon: a case report.

Collision tumor of the appendix is an extremely rare entity, defined as the coexistence of two independent tumors located in the same site without transitional changes. We describe in this report the case of a 75-year-old man who presented with an acute abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. Physical examination revealed an abdominal distension with a hypogastric mass.

Cribriform-morular thyroid carcinoma: A case report with review of the literature.

Cribriform-morular thyroid carcinoma (CM-TC) is a rare entity that usually occurs in association with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) but may be sporadic. Herein, we present a new case of cribrifom-morular thyroid carcinoma occurring in a 28-year-old woman with no history of FAP.

Recurrence with lymph node and brain metastasis of an oncocytic carcinoma of the submandibular gland: A case report.

Oncocytic carcinomas of the salivary glands are rare. The submandibular gland is a rare location. It is usually associated with a poor prognosis and recurrence after treatment.

The potential adverse effects of acrylamide on the oxidative stress response, fatty acids profile, and histopathological aspect of the Mediterranean Holothuria forskali respiratory tree.

Acrylamide (ACR), organic compound, has been widely used owing to its broad spectrum of chemical and industrial applications. This study aims at evaluating the response of the antioxidant defense system, fatty acid composition and histopathological aspect in the respiratory trees of Holothuria forskali against ACR exposure under laboratory conditions. Holothuries were exposed to 5, 10, and 20 mg L ACR concentrations for 5 days.

A Rare Variant as a Candidate Marker for Lynch Syndrome II Screening in Tunisia: A Case of Diffuse Gastric Carcinoma.

Several syndromic forms of digestive cancers are known to predispose to early-onset gastric tumors such as Hereditary Diffuse Gastric Cancer (HDGC) and Lynch Syndrome (LS). LSII is an extracolonic cancer syndrome characterized by a tumor spectrum including gastric cancer (GC). In the current work, our main aim was to identify the mutational spectrum underlying the genetic predisposition to diffuse gastric tumors occurring in a Tunisian family suspected of both HDGC and LS II syndromes.

Post-chemotherapy Gastric Obstruction in Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma: Endoscopic Dilation Can Fix It!

Treatment of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is based on immunochemotherapy with overall good outcomes. Complications related to the treatment or the disease itself can occur during follow-up. We herein report a case of a 37-year-old male who was diagnosed with stage IV gastric DLBCL.

Glyphosate exposure modulates lipid composition, histo-architecture and oxidative stress status and induces neurotoxicity in the smooth scallop Flexopecten glaber.

Glyphosate is the most sprayed pesticide across the globe. Its toxicity to non-target marine organisms has recently piqued the scientific community's interest. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the potentially toxic effects of glyphosate on scallops, an ecologically and economically important bivalve group.
