Published: November 1988

A histological and histochemical analysis of two new cases of mucinous cystic tumors of the pancreas is reported. Histochemical study revealed a predominantly sulphated acidic mucin secretion with some neutral mucins. Argyrophilic elements were also observed. The authors propose an origin from intestinal type epithelium through a metaplastic process.

Background & Objectives: Differentiation of histologic subtypes of appendiceal mucoceles may prove to be difficult on computed tomography (CT). The main objective of this study was to identify the CT features of mucocele of the appendix and correlate the imaging findings with histopathology in inflammatory, benign, and malignant neoplastic lesions, and whether these entities can be accurately differentiated on CT imaging.

Materials And Methods: CT scans of 31 patients with diagnosis of appendiceal mucocele were retrospectively reviewed and compared with histopathology.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs) are rare mesenchymal neoplasms with intermediate biological potential and are characterized by spindle-shaped myofibroblastic cells and significant inflammatory infiltrates. This case report describes a 24-year-old male with diabetes who was admitted to the hospital for over three days of vomiting and abdominal pain and was initially diagnosed with diabetic ketoacidosis. Upon admission, an abdominal CT scan revealed a large cystic-solid mass in the abdominal cavity and multiple nodules in the mesentery, omentum, and peritoneum, suggesting a preliminary diagnosis of an intra-abdominal mesenchymal tumor with peritoneal metastasis.

Background: Low-grade mucinous neoplasms typically originate from the appendix and are characterized by a lining of low-grade mucus-secreting columnar epithelial cells and smooth muscle. However, atypical origins can occur, as demonstrated in this case report.

Case Presentation: We present a case involving a 33-year-old male who, upon physical examination, was found to have an abdominal mass.

Background: Lungs of people with Cystic Fibrosis (pwCF) are characterized by chronic inflammation and infection with P. aeruginosa. High levels of IL-17 A and F have been observed in sputum of pwCF and the interleukin-17(IL-17) family (A-to-F) has been suggested to play a key role in CF pulmonary disease.
