Basal cell adenoma is an uncommon benign salivary gland neoplasm, presenting isomorphic basaloid cells with a prominent basal cell layer. Taking into account that basal cell adenomas represent 1% of all salivary gland tumors, being the majority of cases in the parotid glands, the goal of this paper is to report a case of basal cell adenoma of the upper lip arising from minor salivary gland.

Theta oscillations of the mammalian amygdala are associated with processing, encoding and retrieval of aversive memories. In the hippocampus, the power of the network theta oscillation is modulated by basal forebrain (BF) GABAergic projections. Here, we combine anatomical and computational approaches to investigate if similar BF projections to the amygdaloid complex provide an analogous modulation of local network activity.

Objectives: Immune checkpoint inhibitors have revolutionized treatment of platinum-refractory advanced bladder cancer, offering hope where options are limited. Response varies, however, influenced by factors such as the tumor's immune microenvironment and prior therapy. Muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is stratified into molecular subtypes, with distinct clinicopathologic features affecting prognosis and treatment.

Although basal cell carcinoma is the most common form of skin cancer, the superficial subtype is rarely seen on the upper eyelid. We report the case of a 71-year-old woman with a 4-year history of upper eyelid pruritus, initially diagnosed as blepharitis and unsuccessfully treated with various medications, including topical and systemic corticosteroids, topical immunomodulators, and antihistamines. The unusual presentation, location, histologic subtype, and persistent pruritus posed a significant diagnostic challenge in this case.

Cystic basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a rare subtype of BCC (1). Histologically, it is usually characterized by multiple small cysts without a clinical cystic appearance (2). Herein, we report an unusual case of cystic BCC with a large vulvar cyst.

Most of the triple negative phenotype or basal-like molecular subtypes of breast cancers are associated with aggressive clinical behaviour and show poor disease prognosis. Current treatment options are constrained, emphasizing the need for novel combinatorial therapies for this particular tumor subtype. Our group has demonstrated that functionally active p21 activated kinase 1 (PAK1) exhibits significantly higher expression levels in clinical triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) samples compared to other subtypes, as well as adjacent normal tissues.
