Histological examination of resected specimens showed that tumor's proliferation adopted a hepatoid architecture, organized in large trabecular pattern, and composed of large polygonal cells with abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm, centrally located nuclei, nucleoli (Figure 3a). Immunohistochemical staining of tumor cells showed a focal positivity for CK19 and

Objectives:The objectives of this study are to determine the average and extreme values of the thickness of plantar fascia (PF) and to evaluate its correlations with anthropometric parameters and walking activity.Materials and Methods:Analytic study of 226 feet. On these feet, the thickness of the PF was measured on ultrasound; and its correlation with the age, height, weight, body mass index (BMI), gender, and daily walking of the participants were studied.Results:Thickness of the PF was symmetrical; the extreme values were 1.8 mm and 4.3 mm with an average of 3 mm ± 0.5. There was positive correlation of PF thickness with age, height, weight, BMI, and daily walking (P < 0.05). The variation of the PF thickness with gender was not significant (P > 0.05).Conclusion:Thickness of PF has a close correlates with age, height, weight, BMI, and walking activity.

Alveolar proteinosis is a rare pulmonary disease characterized by intra-alveolar accumulation of surfactant composed of lipoproteinaceous material, related to a lack of surfactant resorption by alveolar macrophages. Crazy paving pattern is characteristic, but not specific. The multinodular forms of this affection remain exceptional.
