Pseudoneoplastic lesions of the testis and paratesticular structures

Pseudotumors or tumor-like proliferations (non-neoplastic masses) and benign mimickers (non-neoplastic cellular proliferations) are rare in the testis and paratesticular structures. Clinically, these lesions (cysts, ectopic tissues, and vascular, inflammatory, or hyperplastic lesions) are of great interest for the reason that, because of the topography, they may be relevant as differential diagnoses. The purpose of this paper is to present an overview of the pseudoneoplasic entities arising in the testis and paratesticular structures; emphasis is placed on how the practicing pathologist may distinguish benign mimickers and pseudotumors from true neoplasia. These lesions can be classified as macroscopic or microscopic mimickers of neoplasia

Firms' strategic behavior versus consumers' behavior: an explanation through the inoculation theory: Proceedings of the 2014 Academy of Marketing Science (AMS) World Marketing Congress

International audienceOur paper sheds light on an unexplored link between consumer behavior and firm behavior. A netnographic study of Smartphone consumers reveals interesting results on a possible impact of the firm strategic behavior on consumer behavior. Our research uses the Inoculation Theory to suggest that the interaction between firms on the public scene can be a possible source of inspiration for consumers who react vertically to the firm and horizontally to its consumers by replicating the same firms interactional scheme with other consumers
