Proliferating Lymphatic Endothelial Cells as a Prognostic Marker in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Podoplanin and Ki-67 are two important markers of cancer progression. The aim of this study is to evaluate double immunostaining for Ki-67 and podoplanin in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), and to observe the involvement of lymphagiogenesis in tumoral and peritumoral areas, as well as the density of tumor proliferation correlated with histopathological grading. A total of 50 patients with HNSCC were included in this study.

Carcinomatous-like mastitis due to axillary lymphadenopathy in a case of nasopharyngeal carcinoma: A case report.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a rare form of malignancy, accounting for 2% of all cancers of the head and neck in Europe. Axillary lymph node metastases are very rare in these cases. This is a case report of a 40-year-old premenopausal woman diagnosed in May 2015 with T1N2M0 stage III NPC, treated with induction chemotherapy, followed by chemo-radiotherapy.
