At the world level, head and neck cancer is the sixth most common cancer (Fedele 2009). Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) accounts for about 40% of head and neck and 90-95% of oral malignancies (Neville et al. 1995; Pektas et al. 2006). OSCC is proceeded by visible changes in the oral mucosa, such as: white plaque, redness, ulcer or exophytic lesion, with no other signs/symptoms. (Delavarian ...

INTRODUCTION Up to 30% of squamous cell carcinomas of the penis arise from a lichen sclerosus, but very few reports in which lichen planus was the preexisting lesion have been published. We report a male with verrucous carcinoma of penis that developed in an area of lichen planus. CLINICAL CASE A 53-year-old male presented with an exophytic tumor on the glans penis that had been present for a...

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is well known for its frequent metastasis and particularly to the lungs, liver, bones and brain, but metastasis to the skin is rare. We report here on a case of metastatic RCC in a 73-year-old man who presented with a 1.5 cm sized, moist, beefy-red and exophytic nodule on the scalp. The lesion had grown rapidly for 2 months and it clinically mimicked granuloma pyogeni...

Oral Verrucous Lesions (OVL) comprise of Hyperplasia (VH), Keratosis, Proliferative Leukoplakia (PVL) and Carcinoma Cavity (VC) known as Ackermann’s Tumour. These predominantly emerge slow proliferating, gray or white, warty, exophytic lesion with micro-nodular surface & commonly seen on the buccal, labial mucosa, gingiva, tongue palate. are associated consumption tobacco in smoke smokeless...

This report documents the bilateral presentation of oral mucous extravasation cysts on the left mucobuccal fold and right buccal mucosa of a neonate. The lesions were noted at birth and subsequently enlarged to the point that they interfered with eating. The left lesion ruptured but persisted as an exophytic fibrotic mass. Both lesions were surgically removed at eight months and the diagnosis w...

OBJECTIVES To report a new case of bladder mullerianosis. METHODS We present the case of a 30 year old female patient with history of miscarriage, who refers voiding dis-turbances with menstruations. Vaginal ultrasound showed an exophytic bladder lesion, which was confirmed by cistoscopy. Endoscopic resection was indicated. RESULTS The pathological study of tissues obtained showed mixed gla...

This case report describes a 14-year-old female referred to Pediatric Dentistry for evaluation and treatment of cyclosporine-induced gingival hyperplasia. Examination of the anterior maxillary area showed a red, vascular, exophytic, soft-tissue mass which had been excised a few months earlier without a histopathologic examination being done. The mass did not appear consistent with gingival over...

Torsional nystagmus was noted in a patient with hypothalamic hamartoma. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an exophytic hypothalamic mass extending into the pre-pontine cistern and abutting ventral mesencephalon. The quickphase of the torsional nystagmus was directed towards the left side, ipsilateral to the side of compression by the hamartoma. Ipsi-lesionally directed pure torsional nystagmu...

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common cutaneous malignancy and the most common human malignancy in general. Out of all basal cell carcinomas, giant basal cell carcinoma represents less than 1%. Only 10% of all basal cell carcinomas are located on the trunk and majority is located on the head and neck. We describe a patient with a exophytic giant basal cell carcinoma of the back size 8.5...

T he diagnostic yield of flexible bronchoscopy with direct standard forceps biopsy ranges from 72% to 82% in large (.200 patients) case series of patients with endobronchial visible tumours presenting as an exophytic mass or submucosal lesion [1]. At least three endobronchial forceps biopsy samples are recommended at the risk of mild self-limiting (10%) or severe life-threatening (,0.02%) bleed...
