Invasive Aspergillus infection localized to the gastric wall: report of a case.

Invasive aspergillosis is most commonly seen in patients with immune disorders and usually in the lung. Local invasive aspergillosis of the gastrointestinal system is quite rare. A 13-year-old female without immune deficiency presented with acute abdomen due to full-thickness necrosis of the gastric fundus.

A huge ovarian mucinous cystadenoma in a 14-year-old premenarchal girl: review on ovarian mucinous tumor in premenarchal girls.

Superficial epithelial ovarian tumors are unusual in adolescent girls (when compared with adult women) and extremely rare before menarche. Mucinous cystadenoma (MCA) in children that is a rare form of epithelial tumor is a benign cystic ovarian neoplasm. To our knowledge, there are only eight cases of mucinous cystadenoma, three of borderline mucinous cystadenoma, and three of mucinous cystadenocarcinoma reported in the English-language literature.

Is Nothingham Prognostic Index correlated with apoptosis and p53 expression in infiltrating ductal carcinoma of the breast?

The role of p53 as a prognostic factor is not clear. P53 named as "guardian of the genome" plays an important role in many intracellular regulatory systems, one of which is apoptosis, having an impact on tumor kinetics. A retrospective study was undertaken to assess the relationship of the Nothingham Prognostic Index (NPI) to p53 expression and apoptotic cell counts.
