Ectopic adrenocortical carcinoma located in the ovary.

Aim: Ovarian corticosteroid-producing tumors are exquisitely rare. Our aim was to describe the first case observed in our practice.

Case History: A 34-year-old female was referred for Cushing's syndrome (CS) occurring in the postpartum period.

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) abundance correlates with p53 and Bcl-2 accumulation and patient age in a small cohort of North African nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients.

In North Africa, nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is characterized by a bimodal distribution involving a juvenile (≤  30 years old) and an elder population (> 30 years old). The Epstein Barr virus oncogene LMP1, the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 protein and the tumor suppressor p53 have recently emerged as biomarkers of the disease. EGFR/ErbB1 expression is detected in the majority of NPC tumors with advanced disease.
