Hyalinizing Clear Cell Carcinoma of Buccal Vestibule: A Rare Case

Hyalinizying clear cell carcinoma is a rare tumor which affects women more than men and is more common in minor salivary glands. The purpose of this paper was to describe a case of hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma of buccal vestibule in a 55-year-old woman.

VX2-induced rabbit buccal carcinoma: a potential cancer model for human buccal mucosa squamous cell carcinoma.

The buccal mucosa is the site at highest risk of contracting malignancy in habitual betel-quid chewers who expose the buccal mucosa to high doses of carcinogens. Of all oral squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs), those of the buccal mucosa are most associated with the poorest prognoses. Therefore, an animal model would be helpful to evaluate new treatment modalities for buccal SCC. We evaluated wheth...

Improved outcomes in buccal squamous cell carcinoma.
