A 64-year-old smoking male presented with an abrupt onset of pruritic erythematous plaques predominantly in a sternal distribution for 2 weeks. Subsequently, a crop of tense vesicles and bullae appeared over these lesions. Physical examination revealed bullous lesions localized on the sternal region. Nikolsky sign and bulla spread sign were negative. Also, the patient presented ulcerated lesion...

Background: The majority of oral cancers, which make up 25% to 30% all malignancies in the area, are lip cancers (LCs). As far as we aware, there haven’t been any thorough epidemiologic research on LC. This study’s objective is look at trend tumor prevalence across whole area Iranians between 2004 and 2016 (Tehran, Iran). Methods: retrospective cross-sectional study, examined location, age, gen...

We report a rare case of dry eyes and dry mouth caused by primary amyloidosis. A 66-year-old woman with keratoconjunctivitis sicca and xerostomia died of acute respiratory failure. Shirmer's test, gum test, and sialography indicated Sjögren's syndrome. Lip biopsy revealed amyloid deposition around the salivary ducts. Bence-Jones protein was noted in the urine. At autopsy, amyloid deposition was...

Objective Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most common malignancy on lower lip. Surgical excision, standard treatment for SCC, requires full-thickness excision. However, no consensus exists about appropriate surgical margin. Therefore, we investigated margin and excision technique by analyzing 23 years of experience with lower-lip SCC. Methods We reviewed 44 patients SCC who underwent surge...

Background: Last-generation ultra high-resolution ultrasound (UHFUS) transducers, producing frequencies up to 70 MHz and achieving tissue resolution 30 μm, are opening new possibilities for the study of labial salivary glands (LSG) in patients clinically suspected with primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS). Objectives: To explore value LSG-UHFUS as a predictor intensity histological inflammation LSG...
