Melanuria in the melanoma with reference to the urinary bladder: Brief history-Juniper Publishers

The far famed, weighty work of Willis on metastasis contains two statements on melanuria on the basis of the urinary bladder and even the liver. Therefore, this paper considers further evidences based on collating sufficient materials from The Transactions of the Pathological Society of London. The findings included wide ranging discussion of melanuria by the old masters themselves as well as at present

Undifferentiated Carcinoma of the Larynx in a Developing Community- Juniper Publishers

Image
Juniper Publishers- Journal of cell science Abstract A rare form of laryngeal carcinoma is the undifferentiated form. There are but a few cases in the literature. Therefore, two cases from among the Ibos of South Eastern Nigeria are deemed to be worthy of documentation. Keywords: Larynx; Undifferentiated carcinoma; Ibos; Males; Rarity Introduction A search of the Internet revealed but a few reports on the larynx exhibiting undifferentiated carcinoma. From Turkey [1], a 7-year-old male patient was reported to have “Undifferentiated laryngeal carcinoma with pagetoid spread.” From both France [2] and India [3], the authors went as far as to differentiate undifferentiated carcinoma of “nasopharyingeal type.” In this context, another differentiation was mooted in USA as the “small cell” type [4]. Therefore, the author presents two cases on the strength of carcinomas which were “undifferentiated,” the patients being of the Ibo ethnic group [5]. Case Report 1. NA, a 78-year-...

Squamous Cell Carcinoma of The Tongue in A Developing Community- Juniper publishers

Image
Juniper Publishers- Journal of cell science Abstract Squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue is characterized by malignant cells which show squamous differentiation in the direction of “formation of keratin and/or the presence of intercellular bridges.” As single case reports have appeared in the literature recently, this paper presents a good number of them traced among the Ibo ethnic group in Nigeria, this being facilitated by the author who heads an institution that provides a histopathology data pool. Keywords: Tongue; Malignancy; Squamous cell carcinoma; Epidemiology; Developing community Introduction Squamous cell carcinoma is defined as “a malignant epithelial neoplasm exhibiting squamous differentiation as characterized by the formation of keratin and/or the presence of intercellular bridges” [1]. This was illustrated in a case report from India [1] as well as from Saudi Arabia [2] and from the UK [3]. Therefore, this paper presents a series from the Ibo ethnic grou...
