Cervical cancer is one of most common cancers among women in the world caused by human papilloma virus infection. It develops in the tissue of cervix which connects upper body of the uterus to the vagina. The types of cancer are squamous cell carcinoma, adeno carcinoma and adeno squamous carcinoma based on location of cervix where cancer develops. In this paper, an automatic detection of squamo...

cell neoplasm that is characterized by undifferentiated malignant epithelial cells together with an infiltrate of mature lymphocytes. Lymphoepithelial carcinoma most frequently occurs in the nasopharynx and it has occasionally been documented in diverse sites outside the nasopharynx such as the salivary glands, larynx, thymus, etc (1-3). Yet primary lymphoepithelial carcinoma has never been rep...

It's known that having multiple sexual partners is one of the risk factors of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection which is a major cause of cervical cancer. However, it is not clear whether the number of sexual partners is an independent risk factor for cervical cancer. We identified relevant studies by searching the databases of MEDLINE, PubMed and ScienceDirect published in English from Janu...

Metastatic cancers of the pancreas are rare, accounting for approximately 2-4% of all pancreatic malignancies. Renal cell carcinoma is the most common solid tumor that metastasizes to the pancreas. Here, we present a case of uterine cervical carcinoma metastasizing to the pancreas and review the literature regarding this rare event. A 44-year-old woman with a uterine cervical tumor had undergon...

INTRODUCTION To describe the prevalence of human papillomavirus infection (HPV) in cases of cervical intra-epithelial neoplasia (CIN), micro-invasive carcinoma and invasive carcinoma in Toluca, State of Mexico. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cross-sectional study analysing slides with the diagnosis of CIN I to invasive carcinoma for one year and reporting the presence of HPV; also identifying these ce...

BACKGROUND Human papillomaviruses (HPV) types 16 and 18 are clearly involved in the etiology of cervical cancer, but the evidence for the carcinogenicity of other HPV types is limited. Cofactors involved in the progression from infection with HPV to high-grade precursors and cancer have not been clearly defined by the results of previous studies. METHODS We conducted a hospital-based, case-co...

INTRODUCTION Metastases to the breast from extramammary malignancies are infrequent, the most common primary sites are malignant melanoma, leukemia, lymphoma, and cancer of the lung, stomach, prostate and ovary. The cervical origin is exceptional. Splenic metastasis from squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix is also rare. To the best of our knowledge, only three cases of isolated splenic metast...

Parotid metastasis originated from papillary thyroid carcinoma is extremely rare, especially as the first presentation of the disease. We present a 70-year-old man with a history of painless swelling in the right side of the neck. He was evaluated for parotid tumor and histopathologic examination revealed a poorly differentiated carcinoma in the parotid gland with suspicion of thyroid origin. T...

The theoretical and practical reasons for replacing the terms "cervical dysplasia" and "cervical carcinoma in situ" by the single diagnostic entity of "cervical intraepithelial neoplasia" are reviewed and the advantages and drawbacks of this newer terminology discussed. The histological characteristics and cytological features of the various grades of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia are desc...

papillary carcinoma of the thyroid constitutes 80% of thyroid malignancies in adults. females are affected at least twice as often as males. it metastasizes to distant sites very rarely, but to the cervical nodes quite often. occasionally metastatic lymph node enlargement is the sole presenting feature. t.3.6.7 the tumor is slow growing and sometimes the patient has good survival even in spite ...
