Fibrosing mediastinitis and occlusion of pulmonary veins after radiofrequency ablation.

30 Oct 2009 Pulmonary vein stenosis is a known complication of radiofrequency ablation; its incidence ranges from 8% to 50%. However, complete occlusion of unilateral pulmonary veins is uncommon. We report a case with radiofrequency ablation that was ... Read more...

Nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma with clusters of LP Cells, acute inflammation, and fibrosis: a syncytial variant.

30 Oct 2009 Nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL) has clinicopathologic, immunophenotypic, and molecular features that are distinct from classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL). Distinguishing these entities is usually straightforward, but unusual ... Read more...

Recurrence and regrowth of benign meningiomas.

25 Oct 2009 The World Health Organization (WHO) grading system for meningioma is helpful for predicting aggressive subtypes. However, even benign meningiomas sometimes show relatively rapid growth and may recur after total removal. We attempted to find ... Read more...
