Human papillomavirus-58 and -73-associated digital squamous cell carcinoma in a patient with aggressive digital papillary adenocarcinoma.

Aggressive digital papillary adenocarcinoma (ADPA) is a rare tumor that is considered to arise from eccrine sweat glands of the skin. It occurs predominantly in men with a mean age in the sixth decade. It shows a strong tendency for local recurrence and has the potential to metastasize to distant sites.

Giant atypical carcinoid of the liver with vascular metastases and local sinusoidal invasion: a case report.

We present the case of a 46 year old woman with a giant, 23-centimeter, atypical carcinoid of the liver. A primary site for this neoplasm could not be identified despite multiple radiographic imaging studies, including a somatostatin scan, and a thorough inspection of the bowel during surgical resection of the lesion. Histologically, the tumor displayed mild cytologic atypia, abundant necrosis, and intravascular metastases, the last feature of which was identified by immunohistochemical markers for chromogranin and synaptophysin.

Adenoid basal carcinoma of the cervix in a 20-year-old female: a case report.

Background: Adenoid basal carcinoma of the cervix is a rare condition mostly occurring among postmenopausal women. Although it can be confused with adenoid cystic carcinoma of the cervix, adenoid basal carcinoma has several clinicopathologic features that will allow distinction from adenoid cystic carcinoma.

Case Presentation: This is the case of a twenty-year old African-American female who initially presented with a high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion on Pap smear, with a subsequent cervical LEEP specimen revealing adenoid basal carcinoma.

Onchocerca volvulus breast mass: case report from Cameroon and literature review.

Onchocerca volvulus is usually associated with subcutaneous and ocular infections. Infection of the breast is rare and there are only two previous case reports. We report a case of a thirteen-year-old Cameroonian female with a left breast mass, which had a microscopic evaluation consistent with O.

Native aortic valve tissue systemic embolization complicating bacterial endocarditis.

Systemic embolic events are known complications of bacterial endocarditis. Embolization of prosthetic valves has previously been reported in the literature. We report a case of embolization of native aortic valve tissue to the popliteal artery as the presenting event in a patient with subacute bacterial endocarditis.
