A clinically rare case of recurrent meningioma of the orbit of 30 years old male is reported. The right eye invaded with fibroblastic meningioma was enucleated in association of resection of tumor mass ten years ago. The second surgery of socket reconstruction for the palpebral and conjunctival atrophy was performed eight years later. An experience of orbital exenteration to a complete removal of walnut sized firm and palpable mass recurred in the orbital socket with successful result after the histo-pathological examination was described.

The idiopathic calcinosis of the scrotum (Shapiro, 1970) is usually multiple, asymtomatic nodules of the scrotal skin which begins m childhood or early adult life, increase in the size and numbers, and sometimes breakdown to discharge chalky contents. Clinically they are most often misdiagnosed as cysts. The forty eight years old male patient visited our hospital on Oct. 14, 1980, because of multiple asymtomatic scrotal masses which are pin head to walnut sized. There is no family history of calcification, scrotal or otherwise. Histology shows naked amorphous masses in the dermis without any evidence of residual cysts, and is acicular clefts in the masses. Most of the tumors were surgically removed in 5 sessions.

A 13-year-old male presented a single, elevated, oval, walnut sized, soft mass on the left retroauricular ares which has increased in size since birth, Histopathologic examination revealed a cyst in the subcutaneus area. Cyst wall is lined by normal epiderrnis and cyst cavity contains hairs and keratinous materials.

This study investigated the clinical effectiveness and safety of sealed bleaching compared to conventional in-office bleaching using a randomized clinical trial of split arch design. Ten participants received a chairside bleaching treatment on the upper anterior teeth, and each side was randomly designated as sealed or control side. A mixture of Brite powder (PacDent, Walnut, USA), 3% hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide (KoolWhite, PacDent, Walnut, USA) were used as bleaching agent. The control side was unwrapped and the experimental side was covered with a linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) wrap for sealed bleaching. The bleaching gel was light activated for 1 hour. The tooth shades were evaluated before treatment, after treatment, and at one week check up by means of a visual shade (VS) assessment using a value oriented shade guide and a computer assisted shade assessment using a spectrophotometer (SP). The data were analyzed by paired t-test. In the control and sealed groups, the visual shade scores after bleaching treatment and at check up showed statistically significant difference from the preoperative shade scores (p < .05). The shade scores of the sealed group were significantly lighter than the control immediately after bleaching and at the check-up appointment (p < 0.05). Compared to prebleaching status, the DeltaE values at post-bleaching condition were 4.35 +/- 1.38 and 5.08 +/- 1.34 for the control and sealed groups, respectively. The DeltaE values at check up were 3.73 +/- 1.95 and 4.38 +/- 2.08 for the control and sealed groups. DeltaE values were greater for the sealed group both after bleaching (p < .05) and at check up (p < .05). In conclusion, both DeltaE and shade score changes were greater for the sealed bleaching group than the conventional bleaching group, effectively demonstrating the improvement of effectiveness through sealing.

We report a case of papillary eccrine adenoma occurring in a 39-year-old male who had a walnut sized, firm nodule on the right knee without subjective symptoms. Histopathologic exammination revealed a well circumscribed, non-capsulated dermal nodule consisting of multiple ducts with various sizes. These ducts were composed of double layered epithelial cells in most areas, but in some areas severe intraluminal papillation snd pseudostratification into the lumen were seen and the lumina were filled with a homogenous eosinophilic substance and partially with calcium deposition. Immunohistochemical studies with S-100 antigen and csrcinoembryonic sntigen (CEA) were also performed. Positivity for these sntigens strongly supports the hypothesis that this unusual neoplasm differentiates toward the eccrine secretory coil.

Epidermodysplasia vertuciformis (E.V.) is a generalized viral infection due to the wart virus, which is chacterized by wartlike papules often distributed over the entire body and generally starting in infancy, of which a high percetage develops into cancer. We present a case of E.V. in a 31 year old male with typical skin lesions resembling flat warts and tinea versicolor-like lesions that eventuated in malignancy, i.e., Bowens disease and squamous cell carcinoma on the forehead. The skin lesions appeared initially on the foerhead at the age of 6 and gradualIy generalized all over the whole bcdy thereafter. The light brown scaling papules on erythernatous hase and walnut sized ulcerative lesion on the forehead had been noticed for 4 to 6 years and identified as Bowens disease and squamous cell carcinoma.

Tumid lupus erythematosus is a rare subtype of chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus. We report a case of tumid lupus erythematosus. A 51-year-old female patient, presented with a solitary walnut sized tender erythematous nodule on the left forehead. Histopathologic findings showed dense perivascular and periadnexal lymphocytic infiltration, mucin deposition between the dermal collagen fibers like cutaneous lupus erythematosus. But there was no involvement of epidermis or dermoepidermal junction. Those histopathologic findings suggest polymorphous light eruption, Jessner lymphocytic infiltration and reticulated erythematous mucinosis. Mucin deposition is seen in reticulated erythematous mucinosis and tumid lupus erythematosus. To distinguish tumid lupus erythematosus from reticulated erythematous mucinosis, clinicopathologic correlation is essential.

Inflammation is one mechanism through which cancer is initiated and progresses, and is implicated in the etiology of other conditions that affect cancer risk and prognosis, such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and visceral obesity. Emerging human evidence, primarily epidemiological, suggests that walnuts impact risk of these chronic diseases via inflammation. The published literature documents associations between walnut consumption and reduced risk of cancer, and mortality from cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, particularly within the context of the Mediterranean Diet. While encouraging, follow-up in human intervention trials is needed to better elucidate any potential cancer prevention effect of walnuts, per se. In humans, the far-reaching positive effects of a plant-based diet that includes walnuts may be the most critical message for the public. Indeed, appropriate translation of nutrition research is essential for facilitating healthful consumer dietary behavior. This paper will explore the translation and application of human evidence regarding connections with cancer and biomarkers of inflammation to the development of dietary guidance for the public and individualized dietary advice. Strategies for encouraging dietary patterns that may reduce cancer risk will be explored.
