Craniorachischisis Totalis with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia-A Rare Presentation of Fryns Syndrome.

Fryns syndrome is a multiple congenital anomaly syndrome with an autosomal recessive inheritance. Here we describe the autopsy case findings of a 19-week male fetus, born out of a consanguineous marriage. The dissection revealed left-sided diaphragmatic hernia, resulting in pulmonary hypoplasia and shift of heart to the right side.

Oral hyaline ring granuloma: a case report.

A lack of agreement exists on the nature of these hyaline rings. Opinions ranging from their being hyaline degenerative blood vessels to remains of leguminous cells have been postulated.

Perlecan (basement membrane heparan sulfate proteoglycan) and its role in oral malignancies: an overview.

Perlecan means pearl-like structures. Perlecan is a large proteoglycan (400-500 kDa) present in virtually all vascularized tissues with a distribution that is primarily confined to basement membranes including those of oral mucosa. It is a basement membrane-type heparan sulfate proteoglycan.

Ovarian tumours: a study of 282 cases.
