Skin cancers are often misdiagnosed or diagnosed late in skin of color (Fitzpatrick types 4-6) resulting increased morbidity and mortality. Rare such as Eccrine Porocarcinoma (EPC), which accounts for 0.005% to 0.01% all epidermal neoplasms, even less likely be accurately color. is Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC), melanoma, seborrheic keratosis. The paucity case report...

A variety of human neoplasms were examined for their ability to produce collagenolytic enzymes in culture. Some types of tumors of epithelial origin demonstrated a very high frequency of collagenolytic activity, while neoplasms of mesenchymal origin, nonneoplastic tissues, and other types of epithelial neoplasms only rarely produced collagenase. In particular, tumors of the colon and carcinomas...

The grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) is a herbivorous, freshwater fish species of the family Cyprinidae, and the only species of the genus Ctenopharyngodon. Neoplasms in fishes are generally less aggressive than neoplasms in mammals and are most commonly discrete, focal and benign neoplasms. A 3-year-old grass carp with a big mass on the vertebrae was referred to the clinic. According to the...

BACKGROUND Expression of human CD133 (human prominin-1) in cancer cells has been postulated to be a marker of stemness and is considered as a putative marker of cancer stem cells (CSCs). We designed a study to describe the expression pattern of CD133 in normal skin and in epithelial cutaneous neoplasms. METHODS The CD133 immunohistochemical expression of forty-three eccrine and apocrine tumor...

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors are uncommon neoplasms; presentation of these in the lower extremities is extremely rare. Treatment varies depending on type, location and patient factor. Here case 60-year-old female post-menopausal (P2L2) presented with swelling over anterior aspect right leg which was exophytic nature left breast lump. Combined histopathology immunohistochemistry findings ...

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1) is an autosomal dominant neurocutaneous syndrome which is characterized by formation of neurofibromas all over the skin and various other body systems. The anaesthetic management of these patients requires attention to all possible abnormalities and associated disturbances to prevent any peri-operative complication. NF-1-associated complications of the musculoske...

......................................... Received: 19-02-15 Accepted: 26-02-15 Abstract A basic principle of pathology is that neoplasms differ according to their cells of origin. Neoplasms of the liver resemble its constituent liver, biliary, epithelial, endothelial, mesenchymal cells or some combination of these different types of cells. It is important to remember here that metastases are t...

Ghost cells have been a topic of controversy since a long time. The appearance of these cells in different lesions has given it varying terms. In lesions like that of Calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor (CCOT), these cells have been termed as 'Ghost cells' whereas similar descriptive cells have been called shadow/translucent cells in non-odontogenic lesions like Craniopharyngiomas of the pituit...

One individual with two or three malignant neoplasms is not uncommon. However, a patient with more than 5 primary malignancies is unusual. We present a 51-year-old female who developed 6 metachronous primary malignant neoplasms in a period of 10 years. The anatomic sites of neoplasms in this patient included the cervix, larynx, skin, left breast, bladder and right lung (middle lobe). All of the...

Although tumors on the surface of the skin are considered to be easily recognizable, neglected advanced skin neoplasms are encountered even in the 21st century. There can be numerous causes of the delay in the diagnosis: fear of the diagnosis and the treatment, becoming accustomed to a slowly growing tumor, old age, a low social milieu, and an inadequate hygienic culture are among the factors l...
