Background/aim: A common finding in cancer cells is the overexpression of histone deacetylases (HDACs), leading to altered expression and activity of numerous proteins involved in carcinogenesis. Considering that leptin can modulate the levels of HDACs, we hypothesised that leptin receptor antagonists can alter HDAC expression.

Materials And Methods: HDAC expression in cells exposed to leptin and leptin receptor antagonists (SHLA and Lan2) were evaluated in ovarian epithelial (OVCAR-3, CaOV3) and folliculoma (COV434, KGN) cells. Read More

Purpose: There are no data showing a direct correlation between obesity and increased blood leptin levels with folliculoma. Moreover, folliculoma is not the best studied among other ovarian cancer types. We investigated whether oestradiol can modulate ObR expression in some oestrogen-responsive tissues and that leptin exerts its activity not only via the leptin receptor but also through cross talk with other signalling systems.

A 12-year-old girl presented to us with a swelling over the lateral surface of the right pinna of 4 years duration. Examination revealed an irregular mass arising from lateral surface of the pinna obscuring the external auditory canal. The lesion was not ulcerated. Read More

Neoplasms of the skin are occasionally seen in domestic birds but are uncommon in nondomestic birds. An 8-year-old male hooded merganser (Lophodytes cucullatus) was presented with bilateral axillary ulcerative lesions that improved but did not resolve with empiric antibiotic and antifungal therapy. Skin biopsies were taken, and bilateral feather folliculomas were diagnosed on histopathologic examination. Read More

The granulosa-cell tumor (folliculoma) is a rare type of ovarian neoplasm, accounting for 5% of all cases. It is the most common type of sex cord-stromal tumors, diagnosed in 70% of cases. The granulosa-cell tumor is a hormone active one, originating from granulosa cells which produce estradiol. Read More

Objectives: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the helpfulness of sonomorphological index in preoperative diagnosis of ovarian tumours.

Material And Method: 686 patients diagnosed and treated because of adnexal tumours were analyzed. At the admission day the patient underwent an ultrasonographical examination that stated morphology of tumour using the sonomorphological index (SM). Read More

The authors present the course of puberty in three girls after surgery because of hormonally active ovarian tumours diagnosed and operated at the age of 3, 6 and 9 years, respectively. In the youngest patient with folliculoma ovari chemotherapy was also given, and girl No. 3 with luteinic capsule was treated for one year with decapeptyl because idiopathic precocious puberty was diagnosed.

It is well recognized that genetic alterations within oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes, DNA mismatch repair and excision repair genes contribute to tumorigenesis within the human ovary. This study was undertaken to screen for the existence of K-ras gene point mutations in paraffin-embedded slides randomly selected from benign and malignant ovarian tumors applying the PCR-RFLP technique. Expression of p21ras was also assessed in 30 primary ovarian adenocarcinomas immunohistochemically. Read More

Introduction: Authors have investigated the incidence and distribution of hormonally active ovarian tumors in a 30-year surgical material. Out of 552 ovarian tumors, there were 28 hormonally active tumors (5.07%): 18 granulosa cell tumors, 4 thecomas, 2 arrhenoblastomas, 2 malignant v. Read More

Proliferative cutaneous lesions are frequently encountered in examination of avian species. Tumors of the skin have been reported in many bird species, although comparatively less is known about the incidence of integumentary neoplasia in nondomesticated species than in production or companion species. An adult male, 9-yr-old, captive-bred barn owl (Tyto alba) was presented for examination of a proliferative skin mass of several months' duration on the left wing. Read More

DNA methylation level from woman ovarian malignant tissues was investigated by 32P postlabeling of the single nucleotides, separation on TLC with followed autoradiography and Cerenkov counting. Slight differences in DNA methylation extent were found in malignant ovarian tumors as compared to normal myometrium and benign uterine tumor [myomas]. Lowest level of m5dC in relation to C and also in relation to total DNA was found in carcinoma embryonal tissue whereas maximal DNA methylation level was obtained in folliculoma tissue. Read More

The authors present a new case of a rare tumor, folliculoma, located in the face of a 57 year old woman. Concerning histogenesis, it appears most likely that Folliculoma represents a nevus developed from primary epithelial germ. Read More

Spontaneous folliculosis of Macacus rhesus monkeys-a type of follicular conjunctivitis associated with marked, local, inflammatory reactions-is apparently a disease sui generis, due to a specific infectious agent. It can be transmitted from monkey to monkey by means of subconjunctival injection of suspensions, and by conjunctival swabbing of the secretions, of affected tissues, or by contact of normal animals with folliculosis monkeys. The agent causing folliculosis has failed in our hands to pass through Berkefeld and Seitz filters, even those of an unusual degree of permeability; and the lesions that it causes show no cellular inclusions suggestive of the action of a virus.
