Though, numerous predisposing factors have been identified, still it is rarely diagnosed and commonly mistaken for a benign condition. The objective of this study was to verify the efficacy of the Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology/ Scrape cytology ...

Thyroid squamous cell carcinoma is very rare. At present, it limited to case reports. Since the thyroid follicular epithelium non-squamous epithelium, how primary (SCC) of occurs still a controversial issue. Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) considered be an independent risk factor for cancer, under basis HT, tumor cells evolve and develop papillary (PTC), particularly de-differentiate into SCC elus...

Primary urethral squamous cell carcinoma is rare. Its management is particularly challenging owing to the paucity of evidence from randomised trials to inform practice. We report two male and female cases of squamous cell carcinoma of the urethra, which were treated with concomitant cisplatin and radiotherapy. These cases add to the body of case reports that have shown benefit for concomitant c...
