Management and treatment of four cases of oral carcinoma cuniculatum.

Objectives: Oral carcinoma cuniculatum (OCC) is a rare variant of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). It has similar clinicopathological characteristics to SCC and verrucous carcinoma (VC). We present a case series of OCC and analyse its unique features, diagnosis, and management.

Enlarged Reactional Periostitis of the Peroneal Tubercle Mimicking Osteochondromatosis of the Calcaneus: A Case Report.

Foot and ankle tumors are relatively rare. Nevertheless, the calcaneus is a prevalent location accommodating various lesions. Reactional periostitis of the lateral wall is rarely encountered but can potentially mimic a wide variety of tumors.

Spinal angiolipoma: Presentation of two cases and review of the literature for the years 2012-2017.

Introduction And Objectives: Angiolipomas of the spinal canal are a rare condition of unknown origin. They are considered histologically benign; however, some have the potential to infiltrate adjacent structures. The aim of this systematic review was to suggest a potential mechanism for the pathogenesis of spinal angiolipomas, along with a useful approach for their preoperative management.

RANKL, OPG, TRAIL, KRas, and c-Fos expression in relation to central lymph node metastases in papillary thyroid carcinoma.

Purpose: RANKL, OPG and TRAIL have long been pursued in cancer. Mutated KRas proteins and c-Fos overexpression - well-recognized oncogenic events - have been conceived as coordinators of RANKL, OPG and TRAIL pathways. Considering the paucity in the relevant literature, the purpose of the present study was to investigate whether the expression of these molecules configures a distinct papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) subgroup with adverse clinicopathological characteristics.
