Demographic data including age, sex, clinical signs, and histopathologic diagnosis were entered into the pre-prepared checklist. The data were analyzed by SPSS software. The values of PV​ Results: Out of 1662 patients 934 were men (56.2%) and 728 (43.8%)were women. The mean age of patients was 42.4 with a deviation of 15.7 years and the range of changes was 15-87 years.
