Retrorectal cyst-hamartomas （RCH） are derived from remnants of the tail gut, the most caudal part of the embryonic hincl gut, which normally involutes by the 8^th wk of embryonic development （3-8 mm stage）. They have specific radiological and histopathological features that distinguish them from other similar formations （dermoid cysts, enteric duplication cysts and teratomas）. We report a patient with adenosquamous carcinoma arising within RCH, who underwent complete resection of the cyst through anterior laparotomy, and reached complete （recurrencefree for 14 mo, so far） functional recovery. The cyst was incidentally discovered during hysterectomy 12 years ago. Diagnostic, therapeutic arid histopathological aspects of this rare case are discussed. The mentioned pedod between diagnosis and surgical treatment suggests that RCH, given enough time, can develop malignant degeneration, and should be resected at the time of diagnosis.展开更多

Such an approach to the study of similes is quite new as they have been hitherto considered either from a literary viewpoint as one of the stylistic expressive means of language or in the philosophy of language in correlation with metaphor. The three-dimensional linguosemiotic methodology of research has enabled us： （1） to reveal the cognitive, psychological, and metaphorical essence of similes and work out the invariant conceptual model which remains unchanged throughout their structural-semantic variation in the text; （2） to single out pragmatic features of similes, the set of which defines their linguistic status as a language-in-use construct, i.e., textual phenomenon; （3） to study the denotational-cognitive aspect of similes pointing out the parameters according to which similes have been differentiated into semantic types and subtypes and （4） to generalize the syntactical aspect of similes and define the set of their structural modifications in the text conditioned both by the intralinguistic regularities and by pragmatic factors. Therefore, we have worked out an interdisciplinary theory of similes implying the synergy of the data of linguistic, literary, cognitive, and psychological studies展开更多
