skin cancer is one of the most important type of cancers in the world. in this way, molecular investigation in order to detect some novel mechanisms and polymorphisms involved in cancer development can be impressive and vital. in this way, the aim of this study was the histopathological investigation of skin cancer and its relationship with polymorphism of cdkn2a gene. this case-control study w...

hbme-l is an antimesothelial monoclonal antibody that recognizes an unknown antigen on microvilli of mesothelial cells. the antibody is only relatively specific for mesothelium and is used in the differential diagnosis of mesothelioma and adenocarcinoma within the context of an appropriate immuno-histochemical panel. hbme-l has also been reported to strongly and uniformly stain papillary and fo...

background and objective: cutaneous cytology is the study of scraping or smears obtained from skin lesions. although not commonly employed, cutaneous cytology has been a useful tool for clinicians due to simplified procedures and high sensitivity and specificity of presurgical clinical diagnosis of common types of skin tumors. this investigation was conducted to study usefulness of cutaneous cy...

Lymphoepithelial - like carcinoma, is rarely recognized in the urinary bladder and less commonly occurs with papillary transitional cell carcinoma i.e. mixed pattern. Also, less uncommon is the occurrence of carcinoma in situ changes in the adjacent urothelium of these tumors. Here, a case of lymphoepithelial – like carcinoma and papillary transitional cell carcinoma associated with carci...

Primary fallopian tube carcinoma is a rare tumor that histologically and clinically resembles epithelial ovarian cancer. Here we introduce a case of tubal carcinoma in a postmenopausal woman. The diagnosis of primary fallopian tube carcinoma is rarely considered preoperatively and is usually first appreciated by the pathologist. Because of low frequency of tubal carcinoma, there are few systemi...

The most usual form of the endocrine carcinoma is thyroid cancer (TC). In addition to papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), recent studies revealed incidence of RET/PTC rearrangement in other tumors, like Hürthle cell carcinoma (HCC) and even in non-carcinomatous disorders like Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Here, we present a case with concurrence of papillary thyroid carcinoma and Hürthle cell carcino...
