Invasive mammary carcinoma occurring after prophylactic mastectomy is rare. We report a case of a 42-year-old female diagnosed with metaplastic breast carcinoma after prophylactic mastectomy. Previously, the patient underwent bilateral mastec to my followed by reconstruction for unilateral invasive mammary carcinoma. One decade later, she presented with a 10 cm mass in the contralateral chest w...

BACKGROUND In squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue, when lesions reach or cross the midline, there is a higher risk of contralateral nodal metastasis. Identifying factors that are associated with higher risk of nodal metastasis may help in optimizing the treatment. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted of all patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue who had undergone bila...

Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma is a malignant tumour of the keratinising cells epidermis or its appendages. It constitutes 20% skin malignancy. UV radiation exposure most common cause cancer with sun exposed face and upper trunk being site for occurrence. Long term to chemical carcinogen, burn scar, chronic ulcer among other risk factors. Skin biopsy mainstay diagnosis in suspected lesion SC...

methods: we examined 170 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples from esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients. all subjects live in mazandaran province, a region with high incidence rate of esophageal cancer and have become known as the “asian esophageal cancer belt”. samples were tested for hpv-dna by my09/11 and gp5+/6+ general primers using nested pcr. results: of the 170 escc samples, ...
