Article Synopsis
- * A case study of a 59-year-old woman showed a painful, slow-growing vulvar lesion diagnosed as BSC, confirmed by biopsy and treated with partial radical vulvectomy and sentinel lymph node biopsy, both showing no evidence of metastasis.
- * This case highlights the importance of recognizing squamous differentiation in BSC for ensuring complete surgical excision, as it has a higher risk of recurrence and metastasis compared to basal cell carcinoma,
Introduction: Metatypical basal cell carcinoma is a rare and aggressive subtype of skin cancer. It necessitates a careful and nuanced approach to management. The first-line treatment is a wide surgical excision, which can lead to significant tissue loss.

Variations in the drainage pattern of the ovarian veins are infrequent, with reported incidences ranging from 0.03 % to 9.

- Rectal signet ring cell carcinoma is a rare and aggressive subtype of colorectal cancer with a poor survival rate and can metastasize to atypical sites, such as a lipomatous tumor.
- A case involving a 42-year-old man reveals that this carcinoma metastasized to a lipoma after undergoing treatment that included chemotherapy and surgery, ultimately leading to the patient's death a year later due to disease progression.
- This situation highlights the importance of thorough pathological examinations in seemingly benign tumors to rule out potential malignancy transfer, underscoring the need for vigilance in cancer diagnostics.
Article Synopsis
- - DFSP (Darier Ferrand Dermatofibrosarcoma) is a rare, locally aggressive skin tumor that primarily affects young to middle-aged adults, with about 12.5% of cases occurring in the head and neck region.
- - A specific case involved a 68-year-old patient with DFSP on the lower cheek, treated successfully with surgical removal and reconstruction using a pectoralis major musculocutaneous flap, resulting in a good aesthetic outcome.
- - Effective treatment for DFSP involves complete surgical excision to ensure disease-free survival, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis, especially for tumors located in the head and neck.
Inflammatory breast cancer: As surgical oncologists, what can we do?
Int Rev Cell Mol Biol
April 2024
Article Synopsis
- - Breast cancer surgery is the main treatment for early-stage cases, but inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) requires a different approach due to its aggressive nature and skin involvement.
- - IBC management involves a coordinated effort from oncologists, surgeons, and radiation therapists, with radical surgery still being the standard, although some advocate for conservative options after chemotherapy.
- - The reliability of the sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in IBC patients remains uncertain, and more prospective studies are needed to enhance treatment strategies considering individual tumor characteristics and responses.
Introduction And Importance: Uterine leiomyoma is the most common pelvic tumor in women. Its cervical location is rare and may extend into the vagina in 2.5 % of cases.

August 2021
Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare malignant neuroendocrine tumor more common in immunosuppressed old patients. It is characterized by a high frequency of local recurrence, regional nodal metastasis, distant metastasis, and low survival rate. The diagnosis of MCC is challenging due to its rarity and can be clinically mistaken for other skin cancer.

The coexistence of an invasive ductal carcinoma and a fibroadenoma in the ipsilateral breast is extremely rare. We present the case of a 52 years woman, presented to us for an upper-outer breast lump.

September 2017
Metal transition doped oxide thin films or nanocomposites have recently emerged at the forefront of potentials research. With the focus mainly on efficiency, the aspect of stability against optical irradiation of such materials has so far not been thoroughly addressed. This work covers the synthesis of silver doped lanthanum oxide thin films (LaO:Ag) which have been prepared by the spray pyrolysis technique on glass substrates at 460°C.
