Ectopic thyroid tissue in the adrenal gland: a case report with clinical and pathogenetic implications.

Ectopic thyroid tissue (ETT) was usually discovered in head and neck region, adrenal ETT was rare reported in literature. Here is a report of adrenal gland cyst with ETT in a 49-year old woman who was admitted to our hospital for health care. CT scan demonstrated a mass in left adrenal gland, and surgical resection was prepared.

Expression of PI3Kp110α and PI3Kp110β in the colorectal conventional adenoma, serrated lesions and adenoma with canceration and their significance.

Aims: To evaluate the expression and clinical significance of PI3Kp110α and PI3Kp110β in colorectal conventional adenoma, serrated lesions and adenoma with canceration.

Methods And Results: Immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis were conducted to detect the expression of p110α and p110β in normal colorectal tissues, conventional adenoma, serrated lesions and adenoma canceration. Results revealed that the expression of P110α and P110β in the adenoma canceration was significantly higher than that in normal tissues, tubular adenoma (low grade) and tubular-villous adenoma (low grade) of conventional adenoma, hyperplastic polyps of serrated lesions (P<0.
