Introduction And Importance: Placental non-trophoblastic tumors (PNTT) are uncommon, consisting mainly of chorangiomas, placental teratomas (PT) and haemangiomas. PT are exceedingly rare, with less than 40 cases reported in the literature. We, herein, present a case of mature PT arising within the membranes, and we aim to discuss the clinico-pathological characteristics of this rare entity.

Methods: To clarify the connection among EMT markers, clinicopathological parameters, and epidemiological factors, we analyzed 35 PCa specimens from patients in Tunisia, a country in North Africa, arranged by stages. We also carried out extensive molecular and epidemiological analyses.
Unlabelled: Currently, clinical biomarkers are urgently needed to improve patient management to guide personal therapy for cancer. In this study, we investigate the deregulation of in prostate cancer (PC) Tunisian patients. Expression patterns of the were investigated in prostate adenocarcinoma and benign prostate biopsies using quantitative real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and 2-ΔΔCt method.
