Primary squamous cholangiocellular carcinomas are very rare. We describe a case of a 67-year-old man, who underwent chemotherapy and surgery for a right-sided liver tumor with an unusual presentation of metastasis to a lymph node in the left armpit. The patient was asymptomatic at the time of diagnosis but expired 20 months after surgery with epidural, lung, and spine metastasis. In addition to...

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the skin is one of the mostcommon non melanoma skin cancers (NMSC), along withbasal cell carcinoma (BCC). Besides ultraviolet radiation,exposure to industrial agents, ionizing radiation, and areas ofchronic inflammation are associated with the development ofSCC. Squamous cell carcinoma may also be associated withforeign bodies. We report a rare case of cutaneous...

OBJECTIVE To compare clinical and prognostic features in patients with basaloid squamous cell carcinoma (BSCC), poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma (PDSCC), and well to moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma (W/MSCC) of the oral cavity. DESIGN Retrospective cohort. SETTING Referral tertiary center. PATIENTS Seventeen patients with primary oral BSCC, 27 with PDSCC, and...

Adenoid basal carcinoma (ABC) of the uterine cervix is a rare neoplasm and its cell origin is still controversial. The clinicopathologic features was analyzed in a series of 10 pure ABCs. The immunohistochemistry expression of 3 basal markers including CK5/6, p63 and CAM5.2 was further investigated to explore the cell origin of ABC. The ages of the patients ranged from 56 to 73 years with a mea...

Background and objective The prognosis of male anal squamous cell carcinoma (MASCC) and female anal squamous cell carcinoma (FASCC) is variable. The influence of tumor subtype on the survival rate and gender is poorly known. Our study is the largest population-based study and aims to outline the difference in survival between MASCC and FASCC patients. Methods A retrospective population-based ...

INTRODUCTION Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the pancreas is a rare tumor with poor prognosis and is found in the literature only as case reports. The optimal management course remains poorly defined. We present a case of primary basaloid squamous cell carcinoma of the pancreas metastatic to the liver, which was treated with surgery and systemic chemotherapy. Our patient survived for 15 mont...
