Carcinoma of the breast with medullary-like features: diagnostic challenges and relationship with BRCA1 and EZH2 functions.

30 Oct 2009 This case presentation reviews the histologic distinction between pure medullary carcinoma and breast carcinomas with medullary-like features. This particular case prompts us to analyze the relationship among medullary carcinoma, basal-like breast ... Read more...

Virtual reality Powerwall versus conventional microscope for viewing pathology slides: an experimental comparison.

30 Aug 2009 AIMS: Virtual slides could replace the conventional microscope. However, it can take 60% longer to make a diagnosis with a virtual slide, due to the small display size and inadequate user interface of current systems. The aim was to create and test ... Read more...

Accuracy of teledermatology for pigmented neoplasms.

10 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Accurate diagnosis and management of pigmented lesions is critical because of the morbidity and mortality associated with melanoma. OBJECTIVE: We sought to compare accuracy of store-and-forward teledermatology for pigmented neoplasms ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Carcinoma, Basal Cell'

Definition: A malignant skin neoplasm that seldom metastasizes but has potentialities for local invasion and destruction. Clinically it is divided into types: nodular, cicatricial, morphaic, and erythematoid (pagetoid). They develop on hair-bearing skin, most commonly on sun-exposed areas. Approximately 85% are found on the head and neck area and the remaining 15% on the trunk and limbs. (From DeVita Jr et al., Cancer: Principles & Practice of Oncology, 3d ed, p1471)
