Granular cell tumor, a soft tissue neoplasm that originates in the nervous system, is a very unusual tumor. Granular cell tumor appears as a solitary painless lesion, which can arise at virtually any body site, but is mainly found on the skin, oral cavity, respiratory tract or digestive tract. However, an intramuscular granular cell tumor is very rare. We report on a case of a granular cell tum...

We encountered a case of ruptured splenic abscess presenting as peritonitis and pneumoperitoneum. Our patient did not have an underlying neoplasm nor was she immunosuppressed. In our case, splenectomy was the treatment of choice in combination with antibiotics, which proved to be a good outcome for the patient. Work-up for the cause of the abscess was negative, although bacteria predominately f...

Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common malignant neoplasm of the oral cavity, usually affecting individuals over 50 years of age. It rarely occurs in patients who are less than 40 years old (1 to 6%). This report describes a case of squamous cell carcinoma, staged T2N1M0 (stage III), involving the lateral border and dorsal surface of the tongue of a 25-yearold white female patient, with no ...

Introduction: Oral squamous cell carcinoma is the most common malignant neoplasm in the head and neck region and remains one of the major causes of worldwide deaths. Recognition and diagnosis of oral cancer at an early stage can reduce morbidity and mortality. Oral cancer screening in a large population can be done non-invasively by using sialic acid in saliva as a biological marker. The aim of...

Metastasis into a thyroid neoplasm-tumor-to-tumor metastasis-is exceedingly rare. We describe the 28th documented case of a tumor metastatic to a thyroid neoplasm and review the literature on tumor-to-tumor metastasis involving a thyroid neoplasm as recipient. All cases showed a recipient thyroid neoplasm with an abrupt transition to a morphologically distinct neoplasm. Metastasis into primary ...

Sir, Multiple myeloma is a monoclonal B-cell neoplasm, which is characterized by autonomous proliferation of immunoglobulin-secreting plasma cells, capable of synthesizing amyloidogenic light chains (AL). AL amyloidosis is characterized by extracellular deposition of eosinophilic, homogeneous, amorphous material composed of fibrillary protein, containing light chain fragments (1). The oral clin...

A variety of Tand B-cell neoplasm can involve the skin and the term “primary cutaneous lymphoma” refers to the disorder that present in the skin with no evidence of extracutaneous disease at the time of diagnosis [1,2]. Among them, primary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, leg type (PCDLBCL, LT) is characterized with skin lesions on one or both legs. In patients presenting with a single ...

Follicular dendritic cell sarcoma is a rare neoplasm that originates from follicular dendritic cells in lymphoid follicles. This disease usually involves the lymph nodes, and especially the head and neck area. Rarely, extranodal sites may be affected, including tonsil, the oral cavity, liver, spleen and the gastrointestinal tract. We report here on the imaging findings of follicular dendritic c...

Salivary gland tumors, the second most common neoplasm of the mouth after squamous cell carcinoma, account for a significant proportion of tumors of the oral and perioral regions. An unusual case of adenoma presented as a solitary intraoral palatine mass in a 32-year-old woman is reported here. The tumor was interpreted as an unusual pleomorphic adenoma because of the presence of exuberant squa...
