The prevalence and importance of crypt apoptosis, focal active cryptitis, and neutrophilic infiltrate of the lamina propria in colorectal adenomas.

Even though apoptotic bodies (ABs) are frequent in colorectal adenomas, their relevance has been covered only in a few studies. Focal active cryptitis (FAC) is a well-known manifestation of several etiologies; however, its prevalence and significance in colonic adenomas were not scrutinized. Likewise, whether the neutrophilic infiltrate of the lamina propria (LP) in colonic adenomas has a clinical or pathologic significance was not previously studied.

The significance of intramammary lymph nodes in breast cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Intramammary lymph nodes (IntraMLNs) are frequent mostly benign incidental findings. However, they are clinically important because they can be the primary sites of metastasis and sentinel lymph nodes. Literature data regarding the clinical significance of IntraMLNs metastasis, however, remains controversial.
