Furthermore, cancer texture separability measures against normal tissues are to be developed and compared either for colorectal or larynx tissues.Study design: Light microscopic digital images from histopathological sections were obtained from laryngectomy materials including squamous cell carcinoma and nonneoplastic regions. The texture features were calculated by using co-occurrence matrices and local histograms. The texture features were input to the quasi-supervised learning algorithm.Results: Larynx regions containing squamous cell carcinomas were accurately identified, having false and true positive rates up to 21% and 87%, respectively.Conclusion: Larynx squamous cell carcinoma versus normal tissue texture separability measures were higher than colorectal adenocarcinoma versus normal textures for the colorectal database. Furthermore, the resultant labeling performances for all larynx datasets are higher than or equal to that of colorectal datasets. The results in larynx datasets, in comparison with the former colorectal study, suggested that quasi-supervised texture classification is to be a helpful method in histopathological image classification and analysis.","PeriodicalId":55517,"journal":{"name":"Analytical and Quantitative Cytopathology and Histopathology","volume":"36 6","pages":"314-23"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"33156960","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Only 32 cases have been reported to date in the literature. We describe the first case of multifocal blue nevus of the prostate gland.Case: A 69-year-old man presented with obstructive urinary symptoms. The preoperative clinical and radiological fndings had shown a massive increase in the volume of the prostate. Suprapubic prostatectomy was performed with good postoperative course. The histopathological examination disclosed benign hyperplasia with large areas characterized by abundant fibromuscular component. In the context of this hyperplasia were observed a dozen foci of pigmented cells measuring 0.1-1 cm in diameter. Histochemical and immunohistochemical stains confirmed the pigment as melanin.Conclusion: A review of the literature shows that the blue nevus of the prostate is an incidental finding and is most often associated with a benign disease of the prostate, as indeed occurred in our case. All the cases reported are monofocal. Ours is the first reported multifocal case and, as the material has not been fully sampled, consists of at least 12 different outbreaks of varying sizes. Even in our case blue nevus was asymptomatic, and the patient showed no symptoms related to the same blue nevus.","PeriodicalId":55517,"journal":{"name":"Analytical and Quantitative Cytopathology and Histopathology","volume":"36 6","pages":"335-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"33156963","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Africa and the Middle East, with highly prevalent chronic infection by Schistosoma haematobium (S. haematobium), urinary bladder squamous cell carcinoma is the most prevalent histologic type of bladder cancer, followed by transitional cell carcinoma. Small cell carcinoma accounts for <1% of all primary bladder malignancies. It has the same demographic and clinical features as conventional urothelial carcinoma, and to our knowledge there is no data regarding its association with S. haematobium infection.Case: We report on the clinicopathological characteristics of a 62-year-old, African man who presented with gross hematuria and advanced disease, resulting in a diagnosis of small cell carcinoma of the bladder associated with S. haematobium infection. He was treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by cystoprostatectomy, and remains alive after 19 months of follow-up.Conclusion: We cannot rule out the possibility that a parasitic infection played a major role in the pathogenesis of small cell bladder carcinoma in this particular case.","PeriodicalId":55517,"journal":{"name":"Analytical and Quantitative Cytopathology and Histopathology","volume":"36 6","pages":"339-44"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"33156857","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the torsion and detorsion groups, bilateral adnexal torsion (3-hour ischemia) was carried out. Bilateral adnexal detorsion (3-hour reperfusion) was performed in the detorsion group.

There were significant associations between the higher values of H-scores for both iNOS and NF-κB and positive family history (p = 0.002 and p = 0.001, respectively) and very severe melasma areas and severity index score (p < 0.001 and p = 0.001, respectively).

Of the 33 cases, 15 showed the presence of SH material on the smears; 11/15 cases with SH material were positive for fungus. Of the 18/33 cases that were negative for SH material, there were 7 acid-fast bacilli-positive tuberculous lesions, 8 nonspecific inflammatory lesions, and 3 fungal infections.
