Background: Penile cancer is a rare malignancy treated via various surgical techniques guided by disease stage and grade with current guidelines suggesting partial or total penectomy for those with pT2 or greater. We report a case of a patient with pT2 squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the penis who underwent circumcision with left partial-glansectomy and resection of preputial mass with good oncological control while providing good urinary and sexual function.

Case Description: An 82-year-old male presented to the clinic due to a mass that doubled in size in an 8-month timeframe.

DNA methylation analysis from oral brushing reveals a field cancerization effect in proliferative verrucous leukoplakia.

Pathologica

December 2024

Functional and Molecular Neuroimaging Unit, Bellaria Hospital, Department of Biomedical and Neuromotor Sciences, University of Bologna, Bologna, Italy.

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to analyze the methylation status in patients who presented with an Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) concomitantly with multifocal Proliferative Verrucous Leukoplakia (PVL)(PVL-OSCC).

Methods: Nine patients with OSCC and concomitant PVL lesions were selected. Two brushing samples were collected simultaneously from OSCC and PVL lesions in contralateral mucosa from each patient.

Introduction Oral verrucous carcinoma (OVC), a low-grade variation of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), is distinguished by endophytic development and a pebbly, mammillated surface. OVC, often referred to as Ackerman's tumor, has been known to involve lymph nodes but rarely spreads to regional and distant locations; when the primary tumor grows, it frequently involves surrounding tissues. Histopathologically, it has a thicker basement membrane, many reduplications, and a large area of inflammatory infiltration that resembles OSCC.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on comparing oral lichen planus and related lesions due to their risk of becoming cancerous and the need to differentiate them from similar conditions.
  • Researchers conducted a survey among patients to collect sociodemographic and clinical data, analyzing this information using statistical tests.
  • The findings revealed distinct characteristics for each type of lesion, with lichen planus showing reticular patterns and the buccal mucosa being the most affected area, while proliferative verrucous leukoplakia was linked with significant epithelial dysplasia.

Article Synopsis
  • Predictive biomarkers can help identify oral leukoplakia with a higher risk of becoming cancerous, which is crucial for timely intervention.
  • Two patients presented with oral burning sensations and white lesions, leading to a diagnosis confirmed through tissue analysis.
  • The study found specific changes in microRNA expressions and antioxidant enzyme activities in patients, indicating a link between these molecular changes and the risk of malignant transformation.
