background and objectives: squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue (sccot) is the most common malignant neoplasm in oral cavity. at the time of the diagnosis of sccot regional metastases with a high mortality rate are common, which is due to the extensive lymphatic system drainage of the tongue. although the level of healthcare has significantly improved, the survival rate is still low with an un...

The World Health Organization (WHO) recently published new guidelines for the diagnosis and classification of lung pleural tumors. This review provides a concise overview key updates, including discussions histologic features recommended terminology small diagnostic samples, revised grading system adenocarcinoma with inclusion complex glandular filigree micropapillary patterns, molecular large ...

statement of problem: many studies have indicated that genetic disturbances are common findings in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (oscc). identification of these changes can be helpful in diagnostic procedures of these tumors. purpose: the aim of this study was to appraise the chromosomal disorders in blood and tissue patients with oscc. methods and materials: in this descriptive st...

While primary squamous-cell carcinoma of the hand is common, metastasis of a squamous-cell carcinoma to the hand is very rare. It has been reported to arise from carcinoma of the lung and oesophagus and, rarely, from other tumours. We describe a patient with metastatic squamous-cell carcinoma occurring in the first web space of the hand from primary lung cancer, which remained undetected for 30...

In carcinoma, such as of the lung, the histological subtype is important to select an appropriate therapeutic strategy for patients. However, carcinomas with poor differentiation cannot always be distinguished on the basis of morphology alone nor on clinical findings. Hence, delineation of poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, the 2 most common epithelial-origin carc...

Background Mediastinum harbors a mixed bag of neoplastic lesions with varied therapeutic and prognostic implications. Distinguishing pulmonary squamous cell carcinoma from thymic carcinoma is a challenging task owing to rather nonspecific clinicoradiological features and a considerable overlap in histomorphological features. Thus, we evaluated the diagnostic utility of cluster of differentiatio...
