Ameloblastic carcinoma arising from anterior skull base.

Ameloblastic carcinoma (AC) is an aggressive malignant epithelial odontogenic tumor. It may appear de novo or originate from a pre-existing ameloblastoma or odontogenic cyst. To our knowledge, an AC that originates from the anterior skull base has not been reported before in the English literature. We report a case of an AC that originated from the anterior skull base and invaded the dura of the anterior fossa and discuss its clinical course and treatment.

Disseminated squamous cell carcinoma of the skin.

BACKGROUND: Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) accounts for a large proportion of nonmelanoma skin cancers. It may appear mainly on the skin and the mucous membranes; however, it may also appear on any part of the body. The tumor originates from atypical keratinocytes. This tumor, which can be locally destructive, has a metastasis rate of 5% to 10%. OBJECTIVE: To present a patient with disseminated primary SCC of the skin. METHODS: In this report, we present a unique case of disseminated SCC that is thought to be primary. As far as we know, the patient neither had any syndrome or a disease predisposing to SCC nor was exposed to toxic substances or ionized radiation. The disease progressed in a very short period. To our knowledge, there has not so far been a case of disseminated primary SCC. The patient was inoperable when he presented to our clinic. RESULTS: Chemotherapy was instituted in the Department of Medical Oncology; unfortunately, the patient died while on the therapy. CONCLUSION: An original case of disseminated SCC of the skin is presented.
