background and aims. there is no report on the apoptotic impact of allium sativum l. (garlic) on the oral squamous cell carcinoma (kb); hence, this study was designed to survey the apoptotic effects of garlic fresh juice (gfj) on the kb cells. materials and methods. mtt assay (microculture tetrazolium assay) was carried out to evaluate the cytotoxicity of gfj on kb cells. furthermore, tunel (te...

Large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) is a poorly differentiated that typically arises in the lung. Because of its rarity and poor prognosis, standardized treatment has not been established yet. A 53-year-old male was initially diagnosed as maxillary sinus squamous (SCC) arising from inverted papilloma (clinical stage T4bN2bM0, IVb), underwent concurrent chemoradiotherapy. After achieving...

background: in addition to the well-defined histological criteria for squamous cell carcinoma (scc) and basal cell carcinoma (bcc), immunohistochemical techniques can be used in difficult cases for their differentiation. as differential diagnosis between trichoepithelioma (te) and bcc is sometimes difficult for the clinician and the pathologist, cd10 may be a useful marker for definite diagnosi...

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 to d...

â  â  background esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (escc) is usually detected in advanced stages resulting in a very poor prognosis. early diagnoâ­sis needs identification of clinically relevant precancerous lesions which could become the target of screening and early treatment. our aim was to check whether esophagitis could serve as a relevant histological precursor of escc in northern iran. ...

Ocular Surface Squamous Neoplasm (OSSN) is the neoplasia arising from the conjunctiva, cornea and limbus. OSSN ranges from mild, moderate, severe dysplasia, carcinoma in situ (CIS) to squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Recent findings on cancer stem cells theory indicate that population of stem-like cell as in neoplasia determines its heterogeneity and complexity leading to varying tumor developmen...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is usually considered a disease of older people. Recently, there is a change in the occurrence of such lesions in young patients and lacking the established risk factors. CASE REPORT: A 21-year-old male reported with an innocuous gingival growth over lower incisors since a month. Within 15 days he noticed another gingival growth in same region l...

conclusions based on evidence, dentists and dental health care professionals should consider periodontal disease as a risk factor for the development of neoplasms in the oral cavity. it also seems a good idea to provide periodontal therapy for patients with cancer to achieve ideal therapeutic results. results cancer of the oral cavity and periodontal disease are related from different aspects. ...
