skin cancer is one of the most important type of cancers in the world. in this way, molecular investigation in order to detect some novel mechanisms and polymorphisms involved in cancer development can be impressive and vital. in this way, the aim of this study was the histopathological investigation of skin cancer and its relationship with polymorphism of cdkn2a gene. this case-control study w...

introduction: a rare case of basaloid squamous cell carcinoma (bscc) of the larynx, which has not been previously reported, is described. case report: a 60-year-old man was presented to the otolaryngology department with progressive dyspnoea and dysphagia to solids for over a period of 1 week. direct laryngoscopy revealed a tumour at the laryngeal aspect of the epiglottis, which prolapsed into ...

background & objectives:  cd10 is a cell surface enzyme with metalloendopeptidase activity, also known as common acute lymphoblastic leukaemia antigen, which mainly serves as a marker for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (all). to date and to the best of our knowledge, only few comparative immunohistochemical studies have assessed cd10 expression in cutaneous epithelial neoplasms. our goal was ...

background and objective: cutaneous cytology is the study of scraping or smears obtained from skin lesions. although not commonly employed, cutaneous cytology has been a useful tool for clinicians due to simplified procedures and high sensitivity and specificity of presurgical clinical diagnosis of common types of skin tumors. this investigation was conducted to study usefulness of cutaneous cy...

intraosseous squamous cell carcinoma is a rare type of squamous cell carcinoma that requires accurate and early diagnose which is important due to its invasive feature. this article presents a rare case report on intraosseous carcinoma in a 33-year-old patient. the case was a 33-year-old man who was referred to oral disease department of babol college of dentistry complaining of chin pain. in t...

metastatic lesions represent 1-8% of all malignant tumors of the mouth and jaws, which are regarded as rare sites of metastases from different primary tumors. metastases in mouth soft tissue are also rare, and within these it is on the gums where they more frequently occur. primary tumors which metastasize to the mouth are most commonly: lung, breast, and kidney. clear cell carcinoma is the mos...

primary de novo intraosseous carcinoma is a rare neoplastic lesion which commonly occurs in the jaws. it is an epithelial odontogenic malignancy arising from odontogenic epithelial residues in the bone rather than from a preexisting epithelial lesion. in the present case report, the clinical, radiological and histological features of primary de novo intraosseous carcinoma are discussed and its ...

skin cancer has a broad and burdensome impact on the health and well-being of iranian and account for substantial health care costs to the nation. the first most common form of skin cancer is basal cell carcinoma (bcc); followed by the squamous cell carcinoma (scc) and the incidence of malignant melanoma (mm) is lower but is fatal. kaposi sarcoma (ks) is a tumor caused by human herpes virus 8. ...

background and objective: basal cell carcinoma (bcc) and squamous cell carcinoma (scc) are two common tumors of the skin. in some cases, distinction between bcc and scc can be difficult. this study aimed to clarify this uncertainty through immunohistochemical analysis. in this respect, epithelial membrane antigen (ema) and ber-ep4 are the two immunohistochemical markers on which we focus in dif...
