Background: Tumor associated antigens can be viably used to enhance host immune response. Objectives: The immunomodulatory effect of biogenic selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) was compared between treated and untreated mice with crude antigens of 4T1 cells. Materials and Methods: Female inbred BALB/c mice (60) were injected by cancinogenic 4T1 cells causing breast cancer. After 10 days, all tumor ...

Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor is a non-aggressive slow growing epithelial odontogenic tumor with varied clinical and microscopic features. This neoplasm rarely appears as a completely cystic lesion histopathologically; therefore, oral pathologists should be aware of the various histopathologic types of this lesion. The main objective of this case report is to present a rare challenging case o...

Introduction: Lipomas are among the most common tumors of the human body. However, they are uncommon in the oral cavity and are observed as slow growing, painless, and asymptomatic yellowish submucosal masses. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice and recurrence is not expected.    Case Report: The case of a 30-year-old woman with a huge lipoma on the tip of her tongue since 3 years, is ...

squamous cell carcinoma (scc) is the most common malignant tumor of the oral cavity and one of the ten most common causes of death. it arises from dysplastic oral squamous epithelium. considering the pathogenesis of scc, a smooth and intact surface in this lesion is not a usual finding. in this paper, we report an extremely rare case of oral scc in buccal mucosa presenting as an exophytic lesio...

Immunohistochemical demonstration of tumor-associated markers may be valuable as an adjunct to conventional histology for determination of malignancy development in oral mucosal diseases. Accordingly, the present study determined the distribution of some important tumor markers such as heat shock proteins (HSP), fibroblast growth factors (FGF) and transferrin receptors (TF-R) in 22 samples ...

introduction: behcet's disease is a chronic disease with multisystem involvement characterized clinically by oral and genital aphthae, cutaneous lesions and ophthalmologic, neurologic and gastrointestinal manifestation. nervous system involvement occurs in 5.3 – 30% of patients, mostly in brain stem and basal ganglia. the common manifestations are pyramidal signs, central nervous plegia, p...

Two dogs of different age groups were presented with the history of oral growth, bleeding, excessive salivation, bad breath, inappetance and dysphagia. Physical examination revealed cauliflower like reddish growth in the gingiva enclosing the mandibular incisiors and canine tooth. Haematology and serum biochemical profiles were within the normal range. Plain radiography revealed extensive growt...
