background: lung cancer ranks among the most common and most lethal malignancies worldwide. once vascular or lymphatic invasions occur, metastatic dissemination to distant sites is common. bone, liver, adrenals, and brain are the most frequent sites of the distant disease. in this study we present a case of squamous cell carcinoma of lung with metastasis of the left knee bursa.case presentation...

Background: The most frequently mutated tumor suppressor gene found in human cancer is p53. In a normal situation, p53 is activated upon the induction of DNA damage to either arrest the cell cycle or to induce apoptosis. However, when mutated, p53 is no longer able to properly accomplish these functions. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of p53 gene in cases of skin cancer...
