Unicentric castleman's disease located in the lower extremity: a case report.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Feline mammary carcinoma has been proposed as a natural model of highly aggressive, hormone-independent human breast cancer. To further explore the utility of the model by adding new similarities between the two diseases, we have analyzed the oncogene HER-2 status at both the protein and the gene levels. ME...
