Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
A case of cardiac myxoma with glandular differentiation is reported. The patient did not have elements of the Carney triad or syndrome. The tumor was mainly composed of characteristic stellate cells in a focally collagenized, myxoid stroma, along with aggregates of glandular-forming epithelial cells, with mucin-containing intra- and intercellular lumina. Ultrastructurally, these gland spaces displayed short, straight microvilli and junctional complexes. The epithelial cells were positive for cytokeratin 7 and negative for cytokeratin 20. Calretinin was positive in the stellate cells and negative in the epithelial component. The potential origin from pluripotent mesenchymal cells or from seeded stem cells is hypothesized for glandular differentiation in myxomas. Further studies are required to unravel the relationship between stellate cells and the diverse heterologous components reported in these tumors. © 2013 Informa Healthcare USA, Inc.
