“…EPC expresses carcinoembryonic antigen and epithelial membrane antigen, but so does benign poroma ( 2 – 4 ). Expression of CD117 can be used to differentiate EPC from squamous cell carcinoma, whereas S-100 can be used especially in diagnosis of dedifferentiated EPC and is expressed only in dendritic cells within the tumour ( 2 , 13 , 20 – 22 ). EPC may be erroneously diagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma and vice versa; however, the presence of neoplastic ducts is necessary for a diagnosis of EPC.…”

“…Incidence rates per 100,000 person-years were calculated by sex and 5-year age groups, using population counts from Statistics Finland. The incidence rates were age-standardized to the World Standard Population (WSP) version 1966 ( 13 ). To compare these results with previous studies age-standardized incidence rates were also calculated, using the European Standard Population (ESP) ( 14 ).…”

Malignant eccrine porocarcinoma is a rare skin adnexal cancer arising from the sweat glands. Little is known about the epidemiology and incidence of eccrine porocarcinoma. This registry-based study examined the epidemiology and incidence data for eccrine porocarcinoma from the Finnish Cancer Registry. The study included all persons diagnosed with eccrine porocarcinoma in 2007 to 2017. There were 69 cases in the study period; 34 (49%) male and 35 (51%) female patients. Mean age at diagnosis was 75.5 years. Incidence for men was 0.06 per 100,000 person-years and for women 0.04 per 100,000 person-years adjusted for age according to the World Standard Population. Incidence increased with age. There was one eccrine porocarcinoma-specific death among the 69 patients. The incidence of eccrine porocarcinoma in Finland is therefore low. The mean age at time of diagnosis and the location of eccrine porocarcinoma are consistent with previous reports. The survival of patients with eccrine porocarcinoma is high.

“…A similar comparison cannot be made with cancer of the endometrium since, in most countries, reported death rates for cervical and endometrial lesions are combined. However, available data from Japan show that endometrial cancer is significantly less common than in the Western world.53, 75 Japanese death rates for cancer of the ovary are of special interest in a comparison of pre-and postmenopausal rates (Fig. 7).…”

One hundred‐fifty ovarian cancer patients plus eight with a diagnosis other than adenocarcinoma and endometrioid cancers and 300 age‐matched control patients were interviewed in New York hospitals. There were no essential differences in marital status, nor in other marital or pregnancy factors. The study suggested a trend for more ovarian cancer patients to have dysmenorrhea. These data may be artifactitious and further studies in this area are indicated. Among the gynecologic findings, the ovarian cancer patient gave a more frequent history of heavy menstrual bleeding and earlier menopause than the control group. A comparison of mortality rates in Americans and Japanese Americans suggests possible differences in the etiologic background of pre‐ and postmenopausal ovarian cancer patients. The increase of ovarian cancer among Japanese immigrants to the U.S. represents a primary lead to the etiology of this type of cancer. It is suggested that further work done on Japanese, Japanese‐Americans, and other native Americans in terms of the effect of diet on steroids with particular reference to their effect on various target organs.

Tabulation of cases reported in the literature of unilateral psychogenic somatic symptoms revealed that more symptoms were on the left side of the body than on the right; this result, although falling short of statistical significance, is consistent with recent reviews of hospital records by Stern and by Galin et al. A review of organic diseases and traumata for which lateral preferences have been reported, and a retrospective study of hospital emergency room records, provided no evidence for the hypothesis that the left-sided predominance of psychogenic symptoms is underlain by a generalized greater vulnerability of the left side to organic pathologies. The status of three other explanations for the asymmetrical incidence of psychogenic symptoms is discussed.Both clinical observation and systematic investigation have suggested that, when unilateral, somatic complaints with arguably psychogenic components are more frequent on the left than on the right. Such a gradient has been reported for hysterical hemianesthesia (21), hypochondriasis (45), "rheumatic" and "neuritic" complaints (19,36,37), pain in psychiatric patients (1, 89), and postamputational stump pain (61). Most recently, careful reviews of hospital records by Stern (90) and by Galin et al. (27) have found unilateral conversion symptoms to occur more often on the left than on the right. (A report by Fallik and Sigal [20] provides an exception to the directional gradients found in the studies just cited; of their 33 unilateral cases, 76 per cent had rightsided symptoms.)At least three varieties of explanation for a left-sided predominance of psychogenic symptoms have been proposed. The first assumes that-probably because most humans are right-handed-the symbolic or evaluative significance of right and left are different. Malevolent forces are sinister; physically or socially clumsy persons are maladroit or gauche; skilled motor performances require manual dexterity; unintended or grudging praise is expressed in left-handed compliments; the mind of the wise man faces right, but the mind of the fool faces left (Eccl. 10:2). Given a psychological association between right and good, and between left and evil, one might expect the neurotic choice of symptom site to be influenced by such associations. This ____________________________ A second explanation has been called the convenience hypothesis (90). On the assumption of a variant of the law of least effort, the (right-handed_ neurotic in search of a symptom site would find it less discommoding to have, say, a paralyzed left arm than a paralyzed right arm. This hypothesis predicts that left-handers should have more rightsided stigmata. However, of eight sinistrals with unilateral sensory conversion symptoms, Stern (90) found that seven had their symptoms on the left, and of six with unilateral motor symptoms, all had left side involvement. Analysis by body part 2 makes the argument still more compelling. All eight of the sensory symptom cases, and five of the six motor symptom cases, were patients with i...
