Structure and function of the regenerating thyroid fragment were studied in 18 adult white rats 30 days after partial resection of centromedial or peripheral fragments of the lobes similar in size using quantitative methods (organometry, histometry, measurements of blood serum hormones). The volume of glandular tissue removed in two series of experiments was 40 and 75% of the total thyroid mass of experimental animals. Centromedial portions of the thyroid of intact rats were characterized by greater follicular epithelium volume (by 10%) and C-cell content per section area (six-fold), as well as by a lesser mean diameter of the follicles (by 26%) and colloid volumic fraction (by 40%) in comparison with the peripheral segments. No reliable differences in the quantitative structural parameters (mass, tissue component volumic fractions, mean follicular diameter and follicular epithelium height) and hormonal activity of the regenerated tissue in the two variants of surgery were observed. The results indicate that thyroid parenchyma of various portions of the organs is similarly capable of full-value regeneration.

Adenomatoid odontogenic tumors (AOT), first described by Steensland in 1905, are benign, slowly enlarging, nonaggressive, odontogenic epithelial neoplasms comprising 3%-7% of all odontogenic tumors. They tend to originate from the dental lamina remnants or the reduced enamel epithelium. Mutation at codon 12 of KRAS oncogene (Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog) plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis.

Background: Saidi sheep are one of the most important farm animals in Upper Egypt, particularly in the Assiut governorate. Since they can provide meat, milk, fiber, and skins from low-quality roughages, sheep are among the most economically valuable animals bred for food in Egypt. Regarding breeding, relatively little is known about the Saidi breed.

Cystic basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a rare subtype of BCC (1). Histologically, it is usually characterized by multiple small cysts without a clinical cystic appearance (2). Herein, we report an unusual case of cystic BCC with a large vulvar cyst.

Microtubule-stabilizing agents (enfortumab vedotin and brentuximab vedotin) and microtubule-disrupting agents (docetaxel and paclitaxel) are used as anticancer agents but can also induce drug eruptions. Recently, mitotic arrest figures have been reported in various non-neoplastic cells as the histopathologic side effect of these drug eruptions. Therefore, we performed a comparative analysis of drug eruptions associated with these microtubule-targeting agents.

Dermoscopic findings in two cases of trichogerminoma.

J Dermatol

January 2025

Department of Dermatology, Faculty of Medicine, Graduate School of Medicine, Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan.

Trichogerminoma (TG) is a rare, benign, cutaneous adnexal tumor originating from the hair germ epithelium. It typically presents as an asymptomatic, slowly enlarging nodule predominantly on the head, face, or trunk. Despite its benign nature, precise diagnosis is crucial because of its potential to become malignant.
