chronic myelogenous leukemia (cml) is a stem cell disorder sometimes associated with lymphoproliferative disorders. cml may precede a lymphoproliferative disorder. there are a few reports showing associating of cml with multiple myeloma and we report a known cml case that transformed into a full-blown multiple myeloma. this patient had more than 69% of infiltrating myeloma cells in her bone mar...

a rare case of squamous cell carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma in maxillary sinus is presented. the patient is a 50-year-old woman presenting with a slow-progressive swelling in left side of her face that she has noticed 2 years earlier. the lesion was not painful and caused asymmetry and mild exophthalmos. microscopic examination revealed that the tumor was composed of two components partly of ...

The malignant transformation of conventional giant cell tumor of bone (GCTOB) is rare and usually occurs with irradiation. Here we report two neglected cases of conventional GCTOB with spontaneous malignant transformation at 11 and 16 years after initial diagnosis. In the former case, the patient refused to receive any treatment following the incisional biopsy, and in the latter, the firs...

background & objective: chronic non healing ulcers or scar undergoing malignant transformation is a rare phenomenon with an estimated incidence of 2%. though, numerous predisposing factors have been identified, still it is rarely diagnosed and commonly mistaken for a benign condition. the objective of this study was to verify the efficacy of the fine needle aspiration cytology/ scrape cytol...

malignant transformation of ameloblastomas arising from an odontogenic cyst or de novo is wellrecognized. malignancies in ameloblastomas may involve metastasis or a local dysplastic change in the tissue. the latter are classified as ameloblastic carcinomas. a 75-year-old male presented with a mandibular cystic swelling, with no evidence of metastasis. dysplastic ameloblastic cells with spindlec...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic, autoimmune, inflammatory disease. The progression of OLP to oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) has generated a longstanding controversy about the details of this malignant transformation potential. This study aimed to do a systematic review on the molecular markers related to the malignant transformation of OLP.METHODS: We searched the...
