Primary nasopharyngeal adenocarcinoma is a rare malignancy, constituting only 0.026–5% of all nasopharyngeal malignant neoplasms. Nasopharyngeal adenocarcinoma has been classified by their morphological features and clinical behavior into two main subtypes: conventional /mucosal surface origin-type and salivary gland-type. The former is usually a low-grade tumor with papillary configuration, and likely originate from nasopharyngeal surface mucosa, while the latter consists of tumors such…

Cancer, malignant tumours or neoplasm refers to same thing. It is a term for diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control and can invade nearby tissues. Cancer cells can also spread to other parts of the body through the blood and lymph systems.

of involved bone. Although the distal tibia and fibula are more common sites than the foot, aneurysmal bone cysts do occur in the tarsal bones.

Approximately 9% involve the foot and ankle [7], with the neck of the talus being a common site. In the feet, they more commonly occur in cancellous bone; in other parts of the body, they more commonly occur…

borders and had no suspicious characteristics. The patient was instructed to follow up in four months in order to monitor any change of the lesion. When the patient returned the lesion was found to be unchanged. The patient was diagnosed with a benign neoplasm of the choroid otherwise known as a choroidal nevus. Conclusion. Choroidal nevi have the potential to grow into a choroidal melanoma. Thorough examination and proper patient education is of vital importance in these cases in order to…

Colon Cancer Pathophysiology Colon Cancer Introduction Pathophysiology is based on structural changes and abnormalities that cause disease and defects. Colon cancer is a disease of the large intestine. Cancer early on shows no signs or symptom and is called the silent killer.
