Needle aspiration biopsy

histological finding of bone invasion.11 Histologically, the tumor might be misdiagnosed as another odontogenic tumor, as the characteristic palisading layer of ameloblastoma may not be pre-sent in all the epithelial clusters, particularly if the biopsy specimen is small. Areas with only narrow strands of epithelial cells within desmoplastic stroma may simulate odontogenic fibroma. The importance lies in the differences in the clinical behavior and management of these two tumors. Ameloblastoma…

Amyloidosis is an incurable fatal disease where abnormal proteins called amyloid fibrils are misfolded and then deposited in the tissues and organs of the body. It is a serious condition that can affect one organ or tissue or multiple organs at the same time. This study was performed to analyze and describe the latest clinical trials, research, diagnosis procedures, treatment plans, and drugs available for the treatment of amyloidosis AL (primary), AA (secondary), ATTR (hereditary and senile),…

Blood work is done and shows leukocytosis and anemia, both indications of Burkitt lymphoma. An ultrasound guided biopsy of lymph nodes of the neck and spine is completed and sent to the lab. In addition, a CT chest for pulmonary embolus is performed showing splenomegaly and axillary/mediastinal adenopathy. The lymph nodes shown in the CT also show bilateral hilar and…

Cancer Medicine (Oncology) Cancer cells arise from different normal cells, thus when the normal cells become abnormal, it allows the cancer cells to grow out of control. Cancers can start almost anywhere in the human body, it can occur in any tissue and at any time of life, but mostly, elders have the highest risk. Cancers are called neoplasm because neoplasm is new growths that arise from normal tissue. Furthermore, there are two different characteristics of neoplasm: benign and…

Discussion Elastography is a non-invasive imaging modality that detects tumors based on their stiffness (elasticity) compared to normal tissue. Generally breast cancer tissue is harder than normal breast tissue. With elastography the elastic properties of breast tissue can be imaged in real time by means of color-coded superimposition on the B mode image and then used for differentiating between benign and malignant breast lesions (8). Elastography is a supplementary method for conventional US…

The Gastrointestinal System The gastrointestinal tract is a collection of organs that work together to enable the body to digest and absorb numerous substances. It is often described as a long muscular tube starting at the mouth, and ending at the anus.

There are also antibodies produced that are directed against the thyroid gland and lead to chronic inflammation. It is not yet known why some people produce these antibodies, although this condition is linked to families. When your thyroid comes under attack from malfunctioning…
