verrucous carcinoma is a unique clinical and pathological entity which has been recognised in the recent years. it is a variant of well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma which may occur in the larynx; other anatomic locations such as: the oral cavity, anogenital region, and skin may be involved. it accounts for 1-2% of all laryngeal cancers. the clinical, histopathological and biologic fea...

background: esophageal carcinoma is one of the most lethal gastrointestinal (gi) malignant tumors worldwide.  the disease is known to have a high incidence in northern iran; however, its condition in the south is not much clear.   objective: in this retrospective study we investigated the epidemiology and time trends of esophageal carcinoma in fars province, south of iran.   methods : in a retr...

The most common type of malignancy affecting the upper aerodigestive tract is squamous cell carcinoma. Basaloid squamous cell carcinoma (BSCC) is a rarely seen, high-grade, bimorphic variant of squamous cell carcinoma, which displays distinct histological features. This entity was first described by Wain et al. in 1986. Since then, approximately 170 cases of head and neck basaloid squamous cell...

The diagnosis of basosquamous cell carcinoma is controversial. A review of cases of basal cell carcinoma showed 23 cases that had conspicuous areas of squamous cell carcinoma. This was distinguished from squamous differentiation and keratotic basal cell carcinoma by a comparative study of 40 cases of compact lobular and 40 cases of keratotic basal cell carcinoma. Areas of intermediate tumour di...

PURPOSE To compare the expression of survivin and its association with clinicopathological criteria in major types of urinary bladder carcinoma, specifically, transitional cell carcinoma with and without squamous differentiation and squamous cell carcinoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS Immunohistochemical staining for survivin and Ki67 was performed on paraffin-embedded sections of 104 carcinomas: 5...

.. Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate clinico-pathological parameters and the status of argyrophilic nucleolar organizer regions stain in various histological grades of oral squamous cell carcinoma. Materials and Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted on fifty cases of oral squamous cell carcinoma. The specimen were collected from the department of Oral & Maxillofacial Su...

The tubulin polymerization and Src kinase signaling inhibitor tirbanibulin is being investigated as a topical treatment for actinic keratosis, precursor of squamous-cell carcinoma.

CONTEXT Squamous cell carcinoma of the biliary tree is rare. Although few cases of squamous cell carcinoma of the intrahepatic bile-duct and gallbladder have been reported, until today, only four cases of squamous cell carcinoma of the extrahepatic bile duct have been reported in the literature. CASE REPORT We present a case of squamous cell carcinoma of the distal common bile duct presenting...

Squamous cell carcinoma-related antigen (SCC-Ag), first described by Kato and Torigoe in 1977, has been cited by various workers as a serological marker for some epithelial neoplasms. The most well-studied is its association with carcinoma of the uterine cervix. In January 1989, we embarked on a prospective, multivariate study at the University Hospital, Kuala Lumpur to assess the usefulness of...
