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...

background & objectives:  cd10 is a cell surface enzyme with metalloendopeptidase activity, also known as common acute lymphoblastic leukaemia antigen, which mainly serves as a marker for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (all). to date and to the best of our knowledge, only few comparative immunohistochemical studies have assessed cd10 expression in cutaneous epithelial neoplasms. our goal was ...

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...

nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (bcns) is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder. multiple organ systems may be affected in this syndrome including abnormalities of the skin, skeletal system, genitourinary system and central nevus system. in this report, we present a case of nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome in a 26-year-old male patient. the patient had multiple odontogenic keratocys...

background:non-melanoma skin cancer (nmsc), the most prevalent types being squamous cell carcinoma (scc) and basal cell carcinoma (bcc), is the most common type of malignancy in human beings. these neoplasms are more frequent in the elderly and fair skinned people and mainly occur on sun-exposed sites of the body. ultraviolet b (uvb) has a well-known effect in induction and promotion of growth ...

background and aim: basal cell carcinoma (bcc) is the most common skin neoplasm and the most common type of cancer. since the incidence of injury is taken into consideration in the pathologic diagnosis, the study of clinical and microscopic views of bcc is of particular importance. the present study aimed at determining the frequency of clinical and microscopic views of bcc in a 10-year period ...

skin cancer has a broad and burdensome impact on the health and well-being of iranian and account for substantial health care costs to the nation. the first most common form of skin cancer is basal cell carcinoma (bcc); followed by the squamous cell carcinoma (scc) and the incidence of malignant melanoma (mm) is lower but is fatal. kaposi sarcoma (ks) is a tumor caused by human herpes virus 8. ...

background and objective: basal cell carcinoma (bcc) and squamous cell carcinoma (scc) are two common tumors of the skin. in some cases, distinction between bcc and scc can be difficult. this study aimed to clarify this uncertainty through immunohistochemical analysis. in this respect, epithelial membrane antigen (ema) and ber-ep4 are the two immunohistochemical markers on which we focus in dif...
