background: cutaneous malignancies are common in dermatologic practice. due to their relation to sun exposure the characteristics of these malignancies can differ in various geographic locations. this study intends to determine the characteristics of surgically treated cutaneous malignancies and various surgical modalities that have been applied. methods: this was a retrospective study of patie...

Acinic cell carcinoma is an uncommon low-grade malignant tumor of salivary glands. It was first described by Nasse in 1892, arising in parotid salivary gland. Salivary gland tumors are also known to develop within jaw bones, arising within the jaw as a primary central lesion, and are extremely rare with only a few cases reported. We present a rare case report of 65-year-old woman with intraosse...

Aim Cyst-like lesions in the mandible rarely develop into malignancies, and reported incidence is between 0.3% 2%. The present study describes a rare case of primary intraosseous squamous cell carcinoma arising from an odontogenic cyst. Materials Methods An 80-year-old male was referred to Trieste University Maggiore Hospital (Trieste, Italy), with acute pain left retromolar area. initial exami...

Background: Carcinomas of esophagus, mostly squamous cell carcinomas, occur throughout the world. There are a number of suspected genetic or environmental etiologies. Human papilloma virus (HPV) is said to be a major etiology in areas with high incidence of esophageal carcinoma, while it is hardly detectable in low incidence regions. This study was designed to evaluate the prevalence of HPV in ...

objective(s): similar characteristics of molecular pathways between cellular reprogramming events and tumorigenesis have been accentuated in recent years. reprogramming-related transcription factors, also known as yamanaka factors (oct4, sox2, klf4, and c-myc), are also well-known oncogenes promoting cancer initiation, progression, and cellular transformation into cancer stem cells. long non-co...

purpose : to develop a guideline for the treatment of incompletely removed histopathologically documented ocular surface neoplasia (ossn) with mitomycin c (mmc). materials & methods : through an interventional case series, 17 eyes of 17 patients presented with incompletely removed ossn were treated according to a protocol using 2-3 alternate 7-day courses of mmc 0.04%. clinical recurrence was r...
