Purpose: To compare the effects of mitomycin C (MMC) and paclitaxel entrapped within Carbopol 980 hydrogel (CH) on conjunctival wound healing.

Methods: Twenty rabbits were randomized into 2 groups. In group 1, limbal-based conjunctival flaps were created in both eyes.

Gastric cancer and the coincidental finding of herpetic esophagitis immediately after pregnancy: a case report.

Endobronchial metastasis of thyroid follicular carcinoma.

Well-differentiated forms of thyroid cancer, including follicular carcinoma, usually have good prognoses. But they are also known to metastasize to the bones, lungs and central nervous system. Endobronchial metastasis is exceptionally rare.

Atypical endometrial stromal cells related with a polypoid leiomyoma with bizarre nuclei: a case report.

We presented a polypoid leiomyoma with bizarre nuclei having atypical endometrial stromal cells adjacent to the leiomyoma. Although atypical stromal cells of the female genital tract have been described, to our knowledge, no lesion identical to ours has been reported thus far. These atypical cells may be mistaken for malignant cells on histologic examination, especially in small endometrial samples.
