Incorporating the epidermal growth factor receptor expression and histopathological parameters in a mathematical model to predict the prognosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma: a prospective observational cohort study.

Background: Oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCC) are the most common type of variant causing oral cancers, contributing for around 90%. The overall survival of these patients is below 50%. The postoperative overall survival (OS) has not improved over years much despite of advanced surgical techniques and invention of various anticancer drugs.

Association of Surgical Margins and Pathological Staging with Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Expression in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma- A Prospective Cohort Study.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is one among the most frequent cancers across the globe. The postoperative overall survival (OS) has not improved over years much despite of advanced surgical techniques and various anticancer drugs. A better and good understanding of molecular mechanisms and identification of potential oncogenes in OSCC may provide new therapeutic decisions such as target therapy in management of these cancer patients.

Elective Neck Dissection Versus Observation in cT1-T2 Oral Tongue Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Meta-Analysis of 11,973 Patients.

The surgical management of the clinical negative neck node in early oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC) has been the topic of debate since few decades. As the occult cervical lymph node metastasis is considered to be the prime prognostic factor in early OTSCC, this meta-analysis has been carried out to find the risk of regional nodal recurrence, disease specific survival and overall survival rates in outcome of Elective neck dissection (END) versus patients under observation. The articles were electronically retrieved from Ovid Medline, PubMed, Cochrane and Scholar for comparison of END versus Observation in early OTSCC.

Fine needle aspiration cytology of oncocytic lipoadenoma of the parotid gland: report of a rare case.

Background: Oncocytic lipoadenoma is an uncommon benign salivary gland tumor. There are only rare case reports of this distinct entity in which only the histopathologic aspects are discussed. Fine needle aspiration cytologic (FNAC) findings of oncocytic lipoadenoma have not yet been documented.

Pure neuritic leprosy with nerve abscess presenting as a cystic, soft tissue mass: report of a case diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology.

Pure neuritic leprosy (PNL) with nerve abscess manifesting as a huge, cystic, soft tissue mass is highly uncommon. Fine needle aspiration cytology can serve as an important initial diagnostic modality in such an instance. We report a case of 28-year-old male, who presented with a huge swelling in the lower, medial aspect of the right upper arm.

Cytologic diagnostic pitfall of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans masquerading as primary parotid tumor: a case report.

We report the cytology of a rare case of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) involving the parotid region. Our patient was a 55-year-old female who presented with a swelling in the right parotid region, which was clinically interpreted as a "recurrent parotid tumor." Fine needle aspiration revealed a moderate cellular yield with spindle cell component, seen discretely as well as, embedded loosely within a fibrillary magenta matrix.
