Purpose: Carcinoma of the colon occurs quite more often in obese than in healthy people. The key molecule in the development of obesity is leptin, a product of Ob gene that expresses its effects through a specific receptor (LEPR), so our goal was to investigate the expression of LEPR in colorectal carcinoma and the association of their expression with neoangiogenesis, with local/regional and distant metastases and with tumor stage according to the Astler-Coller classification.

Methods: In the paraffin blocks taken from 75 patients treated for colorectal cancer, 3-4 μm thick cuts were made using routine hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and immunohistochemical ABC methods with anti-LEPR and anti-CD105 antibodies.

Purpose: This study tested whether there exists a correlation between leptin receptors (LEPR) expression with proliferation and neoangiogenesis in colorectal carcinoma.

Methods: Enrolled were 75 patients with colorectal carcinoma, who underwent surgical tumor resection. After routine histopathological preparation, sections 3-4 μm thick were prepared.

Introduction: Prostatic gland basal cell proliferations exhibit morphological continuum ranging from basal cell hyperplasia to basal cell carcinoma. In the following report, we described clinical features, morphological spectrum, neuroendocrine differentiation and histogenesis of prostatic gland basal cell carcinoma in our patient.

Case Report: Hematoxylin-eosin (HE), Alcian blu-periodic acid schiff (AB-PAS) at pH 2.
