Fibroadenoma is the most common breast tumor in adolescent and young women. Fibroadenomas that consist of sclerosing adenosis, papillary apocrine metaplasia, epithelial calcifications, and/or cysts greater than 3 mm are considered as complex fibroadenoma. The relative risk of developing breast cancer in patients with complex fibroadenoma is increased, compared to women with noncomplex fibroadenoma.

Calcification of brain tissue is a feature of congenital infection, particularly those involving the TORCH ( Toxoplasma gondii , rubella virus, Cytomegalovirus, and herpesvirus) group. An autosomal-recessive congenital infection-like syndrome with intracranial and extracranial calcifications has been categorized as pseudo-TORCH syndrome.

This study investigates CD10 expression in epithelial and stromal cells of non small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), and evaluates its prognostic value for this tumor and its histologic subtypes. Sixty-six cases of NSCLC [35 cases of nonsquamous cell carcinoma (NSCC) and 31 cases of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC)] were analyzed immuno-histochemically for CD10 antibody.
