in order to distinguish between benign and malignant types of pigmented skin lesions, computerized procedures have been developed for images taken by different equipment that the most available one of them is conventional digital cameras. in this research, a new procedure to detect malignant melanoma from benign pigmented lesions using macroscopic images is presented. the images are taken by co...

Background: Skin adnexal tumors are a spectrum of benign and malignant that differentiate toward or arise from the unit skin. These rare pose challenge in diagnosis, often, discrepancy is seen between clinical histopathological diagnosis. Materials methods: This single institutional study was carried out among 36 patients who presented with swelling. An initial diagnosis considered based on his...

Granular cell tumor is a rare benign neoplasm most commonly appears in the head and neck region, especially in the tongue, cheek mucosa, and palate. Occurrence in limbs is even rarer. These tumors account for approximately 0.5% of all soft tissue tumors. Granular cell tumor can also affect other organs including skin, breast, and lungs. Local recurrence and metastasis is potentially higher in m...

Objective(s) Human papillomavirus (HPV) infections are related to the genesis of various benign lesions and some malignant tumors, but no clear relationship has been identified so far between the subtypes of HPV and skin tag. Materials and Methods The present case-control study was designed to detect the existence of low risk and high risk HPV types in lesions of 50 patients with skin tag (c...

Metastases of malignant tumors the internal organs into skin rarely occur, on average in 1–10 % cases. They can be first manifestation process absence signs main disease or show progression confirmed cancer. The article presents clinical cases metastases renal cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma head neck which currently is rare. Skin are variable their manifestation. In presented cases, resectio...

Background:   Although the majority of soft tissue masses are benign, it is important to consider malignancy in differential diagnoses. Because most soft tissue sarcomas present as a painless mass, clinicians must watch for signs suggestive of malignancy, including large size, rapid growth, and site deep into the deep fascia.The purpose of this study was to determine the relative prevalence acc...

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most frequent malignant skin tumor, which is associated with both genetic factors and environmental influences. The objective of this study was to investigate the risk factors associated with the occurrence of BCC in the inhabitants of the Western Herzegovina area. The study took place during 1997-2003. We examined the risk factors which are presumably associat...
