Because ovarian follicular growth occurs in three dimensions, and because follicular maturation (increased E(2)) is a result of an increase in the three-dimensional follicular surface area where testo...
The functional dependency of the dominant follicle on pulsatile gonadotropin inputs was evaluated by using a GnRH antagonist as a probe. Hormonal dynamics, particularly the relationship of FSH, estrad...
Background: Trichoblastomas (TBs) are benign follicular tumors that can present either as solitary nodule or as multiple facial papules. Only one case of sporadic TB in a composite tumor has been repo...
This study examined the effect of estradiol benzoate (EB) plus progesterone (P4) as compared with GnRH on follicular wave emergence and follicular development, and synchrony of ovulation and pregnancy...
Focal follicular features in diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCLs) are bound to raise the question of follicular lymphoma (FL) with diffuse areas, because the diagnosis of FL is based on the presenc...
BACKGROUND: Published criteria to distinguish benign colloid nodules from follicular neoplasms emphasize only three interdependent features: size of follicles, amount of colloid, and cellularity. Ther...
Thyroid follicular adenomas (FA) are encapsulated tumors lacking vascular, capsular or lymphatic invasion and the typical nuclear features of papillary carcinoma (PC). However, some FA demonstrate nuc...
