basaloid squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus are rare [1–4], while esophageal combined carcinoma is very rare [5]. Most cases of combined carcinoma of the esophagus consist of squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and small cell carcinoma [5]. This is the first report of combined adenoid cystic carcinoma, basaloid squamous cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus. A ...

introduction: esophageal squamous-cell carcinoma (scc) is one of the most common malignancies in iran. to reduce the incidence of esophageal scc, it is important to recognize the controllable risk factors and prevent them. celiac disease is widely known as a possible risk factor for esophageal scc.  thus, we decided to assess the frequency of celiac disease in esophageal scc patients in north e...

it has been argued that oral lichen planus (olp) may increase the risk of oral cancer. patients with olp may be at an increased risk for developing of oscc (oral squamous cell carcinoma). here, the author reports a case of olp initially presenting with a clearly benign olp lesion that transformed into oscc over a course of 18 months. this report may provide a clear evidence for olp lesion as a ...

esophageal squamous cell carcinoma is a rather common cancer in northern iran. incidence of adenocarcinoma of esophagus has an increasing trend in iran. co-existence of both cancers in one patient is very rare. we report a middle age woman from northern iran with a typical presentation of esophageal cancer, who was found to have a dual esophageal cancer. the disease was found in the advanced st...

esophageal cancer (ec) is the eighth most common cancer and sixth most frequent cause of cancer mortality worldwide. esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (escc) is the most common type of ec. escc develops by progression from premalignant lesions, which are called esophageal squamous dysplasia (esd). prevention is the most effective strategy for controlling this disease. generally, two methods ma...

A rare case of squamous cell carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma in maxillary sinus is presented. The patient is a 50-year-old woman presenting with a slow-progressive swelling in left side of her face that she has noticed 2 years earlier. The lesion was not painful and caused asymmetry and mild exophthalmos. Microscopic examination revealed that the tumor was composed of two components partly of ...

Bladder reconstruction using bowel segments, especially the ileum, has become a realistic option for urinary diversion. There is only one prior case of squamous cell carcinoma of the ileal neobladder that has been reported in the clinical literature. Here we report a patient with a spectrum of squamous cell lesions, including squamous cell carcinoma, sarcomatoid carcinoma, squamous papilloma an...

Verrucous carcinoma (VC) of oral cavity is a rare variant of well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma and squamous papilloma is a benign proliferation of the stratified squamous epithelium, which results in a papillary or verrucous exophytic mass. There is a certain clinical similarity between squamous cell papilloma and VC. We presented a report of two cases which are VC and squamous cell p...

UNLABELLED We report the case of a 39-year-old female with primary vaginal squamous cell carcinoma arising from a squamous inclusion cyst of the posterior wall. The tumor was located in the vaginal wall and extended into the rectovaginal septum. The overlying mucosa was intact. Histologically, there was invagination of the surface squamous vaginal epithelium forming a cystic lesion. In some are...

PURPOSE High-risk human papilloma virus (HPV) plays a role in the development of a subset of vulvar squamous cell carcinomas. Uncertainty exists about the true impact of HPV in this tumor type because conflicting reports have been published with diverging prevalence rates. This study was done to fine tune the role of high-risk HPV infection in vulvar squamous cell carcinoma development in relat...
