Sclerosing Microcystic Adenocarcinoma of the Base of Tongue with Signet Ring-Like Cell Component: A Rare Case.

Sclerosing microcystic adenocarcinoma (SMA) is an uncommon neoplasm of the oral cavity, with only 14 reported cases documented in the literature. We present a case of SMA in a 65-year-old woman with a history of high-grade lymphoma who developed clear cell changes in the deep muscular layer of the tongue. Currently, the diagnosis of SMA relies on careful morphological evaluation and the exclusion of other potential differential diagnoses.

The Effect of Melatonin on Increasing the Health Related Quality of Life in Non-Metastatic Breast Cancer Patients: Three-Year Follow up a Clinical Trial.

Introduction: Although breast cancer is common worldwide, if diagnosed early and treated on time, the probability of recovery is high and patients often experience a long life. Reducing the quality of life is a common side effect in patients. Melatonin may have an important role in fatigue, sleep disorders and, as a result, the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in people.

Salivary gland secretory carcinoma presenting as a cervical soft tissue mass: a case report.

Background: Secretory carcinoma (SC) has been described as a distinct salivary gland tumor in the fourth edition of the World Health Organization (WHO) classification of head and neck tumors. SC is generally considered as a slow-growing low-grade malignant tumor, while several cases have been reported with high-grade features, and even metastases in the literature up until now. In this article, a soft tissue SC case is discussed with high-grade microscopic features and neural invasion.

A Randomized, Controlled, Parallel-Group, Trial on the Long-term Effects of Melatonin on Fatigue Associated With Breast Cancer and Its Adjuvant Treatments.

Objective: Cancer related fatigue is a distressing condition and correlated with decrease in quality of life of patients with malignant conditions. In continuation of our previous research, we assessed long term anti-fatigue effects of melatonin in patients with the breast cancer.

Material And Methods: In this clinical trial, 92 breast cancer patients were randomly assigned to receive either melatonin (18 mg/day) or placebo from 1 week before the adjuvant treatments until 2 years after their completion.

Ewing's Sarcoma of Mandible: Practical Approach to a Challenging Case.

As a rare entity, sarcomas of the head and neck are challenging cases. In this paper, we represent a unique case of Ewing sarcoma of mandible, serving as an example of multidisciplinary team importance in a developing country.

A case report of prostate adenocarcinoma with leptomeningeal carcinomatosis and intracerebral metastasis.

Despite the fact that prostate cancer is the most prevalent cancer in men, metastases to the central nervous system including leptomeningeal involvement by prostate carcinoma is a rare event. The prognosis of metastatic prostate cancer is very poor due to lack of CNS penetrating therapeutic agents.

A case report of endometrial adenocarcinoma with leptomeningeal metastases.

In patients with a history of solid tumors, any new onset of neurological symptoms should be assessed for central nervous system involvement even in rare cases such as gynecological malignancies that nervous system involvement is a rare event.

A Randomized, Controlled, Parallel-Group, Trial on the Effects of Melatonin on Fatigue Associated with Breast Cancer and Its Adjuvant Treatments.

Objective: Fatigue associated with malignant conditions and their treatments is a disabling condition. This trial assessed the anti-fatigue effects of melatonin coadministration during adjuvant treatment of patients with the breast cancer.

Material And Methods: Patients with breast cancer were randomly assigned to receive melatonin or placebo during adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
