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...

objectives: presence/absence of cervical lymph node metastasis plays a critical role in prognosis and survival of patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (scc). this study was designed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of computed tomography (ct) scan for detection of cervical lymph node metastasis in oral scc in comparison with histopathological analysis after neck dissection methods: in th...

squamous cell carcinoma (scc) is the second most common type of skin cancer with potential risks for metastasis and recurrence if left untreated or incompletely excised. this case series study was designed to determine the frequency of incompletely excised sccs and the related risk factors. a total of 273 sccs (253 patients) excised in razi dermatology hospital of tehran from 2006-2008, were ev...

malignant tumors of pancreas are usually primary neoplasms and pancreatic metastases are rare findings. we are reporting a case of squamous cell carcinoma (scc) of the esophagus with pancreatic metastasis. a 59-year old woman was admitted with chief complaint of abdominal pain and mass. she was a known case of esophageal scc since 4 years before when she had undergone transthoracic esophagectom...

conclusions prognosis of this type of tumor, apart from its size and differentiation level, depends on infiltration in tumor-surrounding tissue, perineural and perivascular spread. therefore, it is always necessary to analyze the removed skin especially on margins. introduction squamous cell carcinoma is the most common type of lip and oral cavity cancers. in majority of cases it follows quite ...

squamous cell carcinoma (scc) of the buccal mucosa accounts for 23% to 37% of all intraoral cancers, the prognosis is generally poor. we reported a case of local invasion of buccal squamous cell carcinoma. a 32-year-old man referred to the clinic with a chief complaint of swelling in the right cheek region that initiated from 6 months ago and rapidly grow from one month ago. history of the pati...

patients. in this disease the risk of many malignancies is increased, of which the most important is non- hodgkin lymphoma of the small intestine. other malignancies include adenocarcinoma of the small intestine and squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus. to the best of our knowledge, thus far only one case of celiac disease associated with hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma has been repo...

Background: Oral squamous cell carcinoma is the sixth most common malignancy in the world today.  ING1b/p33 is a newly-discovered tumor suppressor which enhances p53 activity. Transfer of p33 protein from nucleus to cytoplasmic compartment has been previously reported in leukemias. The objective of this study was to determine the correlation between p33ing1b cytoplasmic transfer and lymph node ...
