Basal Cell Skin Cancer Basal cell skin cancer is a cancer that develops from the skin’s basal cells. The basal cells are located in the outermost layer of the skin called the epidermis and can be found in the deepest layer of the epidermis [1]. Basal cells constantly divide to form new cells in order to replace the squamous cells. As basal cells move up in the epidermis‚ the basal cells flatten and eventually become simple squamous cells. Separating the epidermis from deeper layers of the skin‚ the

Abstract: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is one of the most frequent urological malignancies in adults. It represents for aproximately %3 of all adult malignancies and accounts %90 of neoplasms arising from kidney. RCC often metastasizes to other organs‚ but very rarely to the head and neck region including maxilla and mandible. A 62-year-old man with metastatic renal cell carcinoma to the mandible was presented in this work. Key Words: Renal cell carcinoma‚ Mandible‚ Metastasis‚ Head and Neck

Acinic cell carcinoma is believed to arise from progenitor reserve cells of the intercalated ducts of salivary tissue. Although characteristically slow growing with clinical behavior reflective of a low-grade tumor‚ acinic cell carcinoma can recur in 25—50% of patients if not treated adequately [Spafford et al‚ 1991]. A subset of acinic cell carcinomas are clinically more aggressive with metastasis to regional lymph nodes and distant sites‚ particularly the lung‚ at presentation. Histologic grading

Introduction to Clinical Dermatology We’ll start with the basic structure of the skin‚ and as we probably know‚ the skin consists of two layers: dermis and epidermis. The epidermis has only one type of structures which are cells -no blood vessels‚ no lymphatics-‚ and the majority of those cells (about 85% of those cells) are called “keratinocytes”. The rest are called melanocytes‚ merkel cells‚ and langerhans cells. The cells in the epidermis are arranged into 4 layers: * Basal layer: it is where
