Clinical and morphological aspects of adenocarcinomas of the intestinal type in the inner nose: a retrospective multicenter analysis.

Clinical and histological parameters from 117 patients with wood dust-related sinonasal adenocarcinomas of intestinal type (ITAC) were analyzed and correlated with a follow-up period of 5 years at least. The rate of survival for 5 years was 53.1 % and for 10 years 30.

Prostate Biopsy Core Handling: Comparison of Contemporary Preembedding Methods.

Introduction: The probability of prostate cancer detection is related to the amount of tissue represented. For optimal tissue representation, the specimens should preserve their regular cylindrical shape and avoid artefacts and deformation caused by fixation and preembedding. The aim of our study was to compare contemporary preembedding methods including a new method of using thick cardboard.

Metastatic behaviour of sinonasal adenocarcinomas of the intestinal type (ITAC).

The relative frequency of regional lymphogenic versus distant hematogenic metastases was evaluated in 369 patients with sinonasal adenocarcinoma of the intestinal type (ITAC). We assessed the results of neck dissections for a limited number of patients undergoing this surgical intervention. 117 ITAC patients were followed up for at least 5 years.

Eosinophilic gastroenteritis with refractory ulcer disease and gastrointestinal bleeding as a rare manifestation of seronegative gastrointestinal food allergy.

Gastrointestinal bleeding and iron deficiency anaemia may cause severe symptoms and may require extensive diagnostics and substantial amounts of health resources.This case report focuses on the clinical presentation of a 22 year old patient with recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding from multilocular non-healing ulcers of the stomach, duodenum and jejunum over a period of four years. Extensive gastroenterological and allergological standard diagnostic procedures showed benign ulcerative lesions with tissue eosinophilia, but no conclusive diagnosis.
