“…The percentage of malignant tumours was relatively higher in study done by Sonam SK et al (2011) (65.29%) compared to present study (55.76%) which may be due to increase number of referral received in higher centre [10]. Numerous studies from India demonstrate that Squamous Cell Carcinomais the most dominant skin cancer [11]. In the present study Squamous Cell Carcinoma was the most common malignant skin tumours among all skin cancers (48.27%) which is similar to the observation found by Deo SV et al study and Sonam SK et al [10,12].…”

Background: Skin tumour and their various histological typesalways creating a diagnostic difficulty. Histopathology is the gold standard for diagnosis in turn is used by clinicians to aid clinical outcome andalso emphasizing certain key forvaluable observation of certain tumours. Objectives: The study was conducted to find out the occurrence of different tumours of skin in MGMCRI and to classify skin tumours (WHO classification). Methods: The pathological features of 52 cases of Skin Tumours were analysed between May 2009 and May 2014. Section of skin tissue was studied by light microscopy after hematoxylin and eosin staining. Results: A total number of 52 cases of skin tumours were studied. Benign skin tumours constituted 44.23% while malignant skin tumours constituted 55.76% of all skin tumours. Intradermal nevus was the most common benign Skin tumours while Squamous Cell Carcinoma was the most common malignant tumours. Conclusion: Light Microscopic examination remains the standard technique for the diagnosis of the tumours. Although special stain and immunochemistry can be utilised in situation where the diagnosis cannot be confirmed on hematoxylin and eosin.

“…However, because of rare reports in Iran with a similar study design, comparison is not feasible. Similar to the results obtained by Jahanbani et al (3) , Demko et al (1) , and Pentenero et al (13) , most of the lesions in this study were of epithelial type. Nevertheless, the mentioned studies were clinical-based in contrast to the present study which retrospectively evaluated the biopsied cases, and the differences in percentages of the lesions are related to the study sample and referral centers.…”

Background and Aim: Oral mucosal lesions have various prevalence rates among different populations. Few studies have evaluated the frequency of oral mucosal lesions in Iranian population. This study aimed to determine the frequency of oral mucosal lesions and the related factors. Methods and Materials:This descriptive study was conducted based on the data in the archives of two referral centers, including the Pathology Departments of the Cancer Institute of Imam Khomeini and Buali hospitals in Tehran, from June 2000 to July 2014. Age, sex, location of the lesions and microscopic diagnosis were retrieved from the files, and the data were analyzed by SPSS13 using Chi-square test. Results: Among 59273 files, 976 patients (1.56%) had oral mucosal lesions, and the most prevalent pathologies were epithelial lesions (89.4%), followed by connective tissue lesions (6.5%). Squamous Cell Carcinoma (53%) was the most prevalent epithelial lesion. The most common location of oral mucosal lesions was the lips (27.8%). Mean age of the patients was 44 ± 3 years. The incidence of mucosal lesions increased with age, while no correlation was observed between mucosal lesions and sex (P<0.9). Conclusion: The most prevalent oral mucosal lesion was the Squamous Cell Carcinoma, which is a malignant tumor with epithelial origin, and its early diagnosis is necessary.

Background: There is a huge spectrum of skin tumors which can be confused clinically with malignancies, particularly when they are pigmented or inflamed, and histopathological examination of a biopsy specimen is required to establish a definitive diagnosis and to facilitate appropriate intervention and follow up. Aim: To evaluate all skin tumors and categorize them according to their origin. Methods: The present study was conducted over a period of 4 years (July 1, 2013 to June 31, 2017) comprising of 1.5 years prospective and 2.5 years retrospective analysis in the departments of Dermatology and Pathology, at a tertiary hospital in North India. All specimens of skin tumors were analyzed grossly and microscopically. Immunohistochemistry was done wherever possible. Results: A total of 232 skin tumors were seen; of which 123 cases were benign (53.0%) and 109 cases were malignant (47.0%). The mean age of patients with benign and malignant skin tumors was 40.3 ± 19.9 and 60.8 ± 14.8 years, respectively. The most common site was face (n = 106; 45.7%) followed by limbs (n = 44; 19.0%). The male:female ratio of benign and malignant tumors was 1.01:1 and 1.31:1, respectively. Among the benign tumors, keratinocytic tumors were the commonest (n = 57; 46.3%) followed by the melanocytic tumors (n = 37; 30.1%) and appendageal tumors (n = 29; 23.6%). The most common malignant skin tumors were the keratinocytic tumors (n = 87; 79.8%) followed by 12 cases (11%) of hematolymphoid tumors and five cases (4.6%) each of melanocytic and appendageal tumors. Limitations: The lack of clinical and dermatoscopic correlation and inclusion of retrospective data are the limitations of this study. Conclusions: Skin tumors affect people of all ages. The benign tumors are seen in the younger age group as compared to malignant tumors. Face is the most common site and keratinocytic tumors are the most common skin tumors in both benign and malignant categories.
