giant cell carcinoma of the endometrium is a rare and an aggressive tumor that should be distinguished from other endometrial tumors with a prominent giant cell component, including trophoblastic tumors, certain primary sarcomas, and malignant mixed müllerian tumors. at present, cumulative data on this rare histological variant is limited and the prognostic significance of the presence and the ...

this case report describes a 59-year-old woman with a giant basal cell carcinoma on the face neglected for 11 years. surgical resection of the lesion resulted in a 13 × 11 cm defect. issues regarding the adequately safe surgical margins and the management of the resultant defect through modern wound dressing technologies are discussed. keywords : giant basal cell carcinoma, modern dressing, gel...

Basal cell carcinoma is the most common skin cancer, characterised by a slow growing behavior, metastasis are extremely rare, and it occurs in less than 0, 1% of all cases. Giant basal cell carcinoma is a rare form of basal cell carcinoma, more aggressive and defined as a tumor measuring more than 5 cm at its largest diameter. Only 1% of all basal cell carcinoma develops to a giant basal cell c...

Undifferentiated pancreatic carcinoma with osteoclast-like giant cells (UPC-OGCs) is a rare neoplasm with frequency of 0.2 % of reported pancreatic carcinomas [1]. Tumors with osteoclast-like giant cells have rarely been reported in a variety of extra-skeletal sites. On the alimentary tract, the pancreas is the most concerned [2, 3]. A number of terms have been used to describe variants of undi...

The author reports a very rare and very unique urinary bladder carcinoma. This carcinoma occurred in a 68-year-old Japanese patient who underwent cystectomy for bladder tumor. The tumor was large polypoid and ulcerated one. Histologically, the tumor consisted of the following three elements: giant cell sarcomatoid carcinoma (70% in area), squamous cell carcinoma (20% in area), and papillary uro...

giant cell glioblastoma is an extremely rare variant of glioblastoma (who grade iv) which is characterized by a predominance of bizarre, multinucleated giant cells. these tumors comprise of 0.8% of brain tumors and up to 5% of glioblastomas. in pediatric age group, these tumors are still uncommon with only around 53 published cases since 1952. here, we report a case of a 12-year old female pati...

verrucous carcinoma is a unique clinical and pathological entity which has been recognised in the recent years. it is a variant of well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma which may occur in the larynx; other anatomic locations such as: the oral cavity, anogenital region, and skin may be involved. it accounts for 1-2% of all laryngeal cancers. the clinical, histopathological and biologic fea...

giant cell tumors (gct) are benign tumors with potential for aggressive behavior and capacity to metastasize. although rarely lethal, benign bone tumors may be associated with a substantial disturbance of the local bony architecture that can be particularly troublesome in peri-articular locations. its histogenesis remains unclear. it is characterized by a proliferation of mononuclear stromal ce...
