July 24th, 2006. Multilocular peritoneal inclusion cyst – a case report

We report a case of a 26-year old female who underwent Caesarean section during which cysts which were multiloculated, thin-walled and filled with serous fluid, were incidentally discovered. Its histopathologic examination established the diagnosis.

July 19th, 2006. Imaging of pleural disease

The conditions covered include benign and malignant pleural thickening, pleural effusions, empyema and pneumothoraces. The relative merits of CT, MRI and PET in the assessment of these conditions and the role of image-guided intervention are discussed.

March 10th, 2006. Benign Peritoneal Cystic Mesothelioma

Conclusions: Lack of consistent definitions, various treatment approaches, and mostly short follow-up times make it difficult to draw any firm conclusions from published reports. The natural history of this rare disease is less than well clarified. When possible, in an individual patient, surgical resection with curative intent seems to be the treatment of choice.

February 23rd, 2006. Cell proliferation rate and telomerase activity in the differential diagnosis between benign and malignant mesothelial proliferations

Conclusion: As a result, being cheap and simple methods, Ki-67 and hTERT immunohistochemistries can be used in differentiating malignant and benign mesothelial lesions in routine formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded material.

December 23rd, 2005. Argyrophilic nucleolar organizer regions in benign and malignant mesothelial lesions

This differentiation is based primarily on the mean number of AgNOR-dots per cell rather than number of AgNOR-positive cells. AgNOR is highly sensitive, specific and cost-effective technology which can be used as an ancillary diagnostic approach for distinguishing between reactive and/or hyperplastic changes of mesothelium as well as in differential diagnosis of epithelial type mesothelioma.

December 14th, 2005. Benign multicystic peritoneal mesothelioma: cases reports in the family with diverticulosis and literature review

After the recurrences, one patient was treated with cystic aspiration and the other with hormones. The cysts in both cases regressed partially but the patients were relieved of their clinical symptoms, for 2 years after cystic drainage in one case and for 5 years after hormonal treatment in the other.

November 1st, 2005. Differential diagnosis of benign and malignant mesothelial proliferations on pleural biopsies

Conclusions: Various histologic clues favor a benign over a malignant mesothelial proliferation and vice versa. Invasion is the most reliable criterion for determining that a mesothelial proliferation is malignant. When there is any doubt that a pleural biopsy represents a malignancy, we recommend a diagnosis of atypical mesothelial proliferation.

June 1st, 2005. Mesothelial inclusion cysts (so-called benign cystic mesothelioma)–a clinicopathological analysis of six cases

One female failed to report for follow-up examinations. The report also presents the review of literature.

February 1st, 2005. Benign cystic mesothelioma, a rare tumor of the peritoneum

We hope that surgical eradication was effective to prevent recurrence. One year after the operation the patient is complaint and symptom free.
