[Glassy cell carcinoma of the endometrium: case report and review of the literature].

The authors presented a case of a 68-year-old woman with glassy cell carcinoma of the endometrium in FIGO stage IA, treated with hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and radiation therapy. The patient was alive and disease free at the end of 2 years of follow up. Glassy cell carcinoma of the endometrium is a rare neoplasm, with 13 previously cases reported in the literature.

[Endoscopic harvesting of saphenous vein during coronary artery bypass operations].

Unlabelled: The great saphenous vein is the most commonly applied conduit in coronary bypass surgery during the treatment of ischaemic heart disease. Regarding the increasing age of patients, multiple comorbid factors and poor patient's general state, the minimally invasive approach is of basic significance during these operations.

Objectives: The aim of study was to evaluate the possibilities of endoscopic saphenous vein harvesting and the quality of saphenous veins harvested endoscopically.

[Successful treatment of Weber-Christian panniculitis with cyclosporin-A].

The inflammatory disease of the subcutaneous fatty tissue are called panniculitis. The panniculitis has got a septal and a lobular histopathologic type. In the opinion of the etiologic classification occurs idiopathic (primary) or secondary entity.

[The pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis-associated colorectal cancer].

The fact that there is an increase in cases of ulcerative colitis-associated dysplasia and colitic cancer raises some problems for clinical practice and pathological diagnosis. How to detect ulcerative colitis-associated dysplasia and early cancer endoscopically? How to discriminate inflammatory regenerative epithelium from UC-associated dysplasia and aberrant crypt foci histologically? How to distinguish dysplasia-associated lesion or mass from sporadic adenoma pathologically? UCAC has established risk factors including, among others, long duration of disease, large extent and low activity of disease, and the lack of adequate surveillance and therapy. Colonoscopic and histological evidence of low grade and high grade dysplasia means the possible evidence of coexisting carcinoma.
