This report is related to a female 7-year-old crossbreed sheep whose right eye had been protruded andswelling of upper eyelid was observed. Routine enucleating was performed. Histopathological evaluation ofeyelid revealed coincidence of two kinds of neoplasms. The first part was composed of multiple lobules ofsebocytes, which were detected as meibomian adenoma. The second section included infil...

We examined 170 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples from esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients. All subjects live in Mazandaran province, a region with high incidence rate of esophageal cancer and have become known as the “Asian Esophageal Cancer Belt”. Samples were tested for HPV-DNA by MY09/11 and Gp5+/6+ general primers using nested PCR. Of the 170 ESCC samples, 86 (50.6%) were ma...

Pregnancy following squamous cell carcinoma of the vulvar is rare. Its rarity is reflected by a paucity of cases reported in the literature. We report two cases of pregnancy following diagnosis and treatment for vulvar squamous cell carcinoma, and review eleven prior reported cases. In successfully treated vulvar cancer subsequent pregnancy is not shown to increase the risk of disease recurrenc...

e-cadherin is among tumor suppressor genes which mostly subjects to the down-regulation in squamous cell carcinoma of esophagus (scce). the gene is tightly associated with the tumor invasion and metastasis in multiple human cancers, especially scce. cpg islands’ methylation in the promoter region of e-cadherin is among the mechanisms that have been suggested for the e-cadherin silencing, howeve...

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...
