abstract salivary gland tumors are among the pathologies in the head and neck that may be challenging in diagnosis and treatment. most benign tumors occur in the parotid gland. pleomorphic adenoma is the most common type. basal cell adenoma is a subtype of the monomorphic adenoma with rare occurrence. proper diagnosis and clinical evaluation by the use of radiography can lead the physician to t...

gorlin-goltz syndrome (ggs) consists of ectodermal and mesodermal abnormalities. in this case report we will investigate lower extremity lesions of ggs. a 52-year-old man with ggs underwent skull and lower extremity computer tomography. radiographic findings included cervical spondylosis, transparent areas with slurred margins, and cerebral falx calcification. tibial and fibular specific cortic...

nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (nbccs), also known as gorlin syndrome, is a hereditary condition characterized by a wide range of developmental abnormalities and a predisposition to neoplasms . the estimated prevalence varies from 1/57,000 to 1/256,000, with a male-to-female ratio of 1:1. main clinical manifestations include multiple basal cell carcinomas (bccs), odontogenic keratocysts o...

Background: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC), the most common form of skin cancer, usually occurs in the sun-exposed areas of the body like head and neck, yet is also seen in unexpected sites. Myriad studies have mentioned a lower limb BCC incidence rate of 1.5-13.5%.Methods: The present retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted on 650 BCC patients, who were referred to the dermatology tumor ...

Objective(s): Prostate cancer is the world’s leading cause of cancer and the second cause of cancer-related death in men after lung cancer. Differentiation of prostate adenocarcinoma from benign prostate lesions and hyperplasia sometimes cannot be done on the basis of morphologic findings. Considering the fact that in the prostate adenocarcinoma there is no basal cell layer, basal cell markers ...

basal cell carcinoma (bcc) is the most common cancer of the skin. definite diagnosis usually requires histological examination but recently it has been suggested that cytological examination of skin smear can be used as an alternative. to evaluate sensitivity and specificity of cytological examination, a total of 125 skin lesions, clinically suspected to be bcc were studied. cytological samples...

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is currently the most common cutaneous cancer found in humans. Although it generally shows a relatively benign course (BCCl), some cases show aggressive behavior (BCC2). Until recently, traditional histologic diagnostic criteria have failed to discriminate unequivocally between BCC 1 and BCC2. In this study we selected 50 cases of BCC and categorized them into tw...

Background & Objective:Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is classified into BCC1 or low risk (nodular, superficial type) and BCC2 or high risk (micronodular, morpheaform, infiltrative, and basosquamous types) based on clinical behavior. This study attempts to evaluate immunohistochemical (IHC) findings and clinical features associated with local aggressiveness and recurrence ...
