background : basal cell carcinoma is the most common form of skin cancer in men. increased marker expressions of apoptosis and cell proliferation have been found in the majority of basal cell carcinomas. our purpose was to determine whether any correlation between immunohistochemical expressions of p53 and ki-67 in different histopathological variants of basal cell carcinoma and patient’s age, ...

Pleomorphic adenoma usually occurs in the salivary glands but rarely in the trachea or bronchi. A 71-year-old man had abnormal shadows on a chest X-ray. Chest CT revealed one tumor in the right basal segment of the lung and another, in the left main bronchus. Bronchoscopic biopsy of the right tumor revealed well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. Right lower lobectomy and lymph node dissec...

nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (bcns) is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder. multiple organ systems may be affected in this syndrome including abnormalities of the skin, skeletal system, genitourinary system and central nevus system. in this report, we present a case of nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome in a 26-year-old male patient. the patient had multiple odontogenic keratocys...

there is an impression that basal cell carcinomas (bcc) occurring in younger population may be of more invasive behavior in comparison to those arising in older patients. the purpose of this study was to investigate this hypothesis by comparing the histological types of bcc in a large cohort of young and old patients. a total of 287 histological reports and clinical records were evaluated. a co...

Basal cell adenoma (BCA) of the salivary glands is a rare benign tumor resembling pleomorphic adenoma, but with a prominent basaloid cell layer. The majority of these tumors arise in the parotid glands and account for only 1% of all salivary gland epithelial tumors. We report one such case of a swelling in the floor of the mouth in a 55-year-old female where BCA is the most likely diagnosis; ho...

Our aim was to analyze the correlation of early postoperative cortisol levels in patients after transsphenoidal pituitary adenoma surgery compared to the standard dose ACTH test and Insulin tolerance test (ITT) several months later. We retrospectively reviewed data from 94 patients operated for pituitary adenoma in years 2009-2012. The comparison of day 7 (median) postoperative basal cortisol l...

gorlin-goltz syndrome (ggs) consists of ectodermal and mesodermal abnormalities. in this case report we will investigate lower extremity lesions of ggs. a 52-year-old man with ggs underwent skull and lower extremity computer tomography. radiographic findings included cervical spondylosis, transparent areas with slurred margins, and cerebral falx calcification. tibial and fibular specific cortic...

Basal levels of sex steroids, and the responses of LH and FSH to LH-RH were studied in twenty-five female patients with Cushing's syndrome (17 Cushing's disease and 8 adrenocortical adenoma). Only two patients had a regular menstrual cycle. Amenorrhea or oligomenorrhea had been of long duration in the other cases except for three postmenopausal patients. In patients with Cushing's disease, basa...
