β¦ Synopsis
Direct invasion of the transverse colon is known to result from noncontiguous primary tumors spreading along ligamentous attachments or from direct extension of metastatic disease involving the greater omentum. The resultant desmoplastic reaction produces characteristic findings on barium enema. However, to our knowledge, these findings have not been reported to result from extension of a cecal tumor to the transverse colon via the pericolonic fat. We present such a case and discuss the radiographic findings.

Background. Pellets made of a carcinogenic substance, methylcholanthrene, admixed with a high molecular weight substance, hydroxypropylcellulose, were implanted into the thigh of 90 rats (three groups, 30 rats each). In Group 1, the pellets were placed at the window made in the cortex of the lfemur
Thirty-five colon adenomas from 26 patients were analyzed with centromeric probes for chromosomes I, 7, 17, X and Y in order to study numerical aberrations, chromosome imbalances, aneuploidy and tetraploidization. The fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) technique was applied to single-cell susp
