Objectives: Oral Squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common malignant tumor of the oral cavity. The study was done with the aim to determine the clinical pattern of OSCC seen in tertiary care hospital of Karachi, Pakistan. The frequency of neck metastasis in different staging of squamous cell carcinoma was also recorded. Study Design: Retrospective study. Setting: Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Liaquat College of Medicine and Dentistry. Period: June 2013- July 2016. Material & Methods: It included 35 males and 25 females which presented with different sites and stage of squamous cell carcinoma. Clinically patients were staged as stage I, stage II, stage III and stage IV and comprised of 3, 8, 30 & 19 patients respectively. Patients presented with cancer of buccal mucosa (31 patients), retromolar region (12 patients), maxillary alveolus (8 patients), tongue (2 patients), floor of mouth (4 patients) & lip (3 patients). Right side was most common, 48 patients as compare to left side, 12 patients while lip cancers was in upper lip in all patients including commissure. Results: Total 60 patients were included in the study with the male to female ratio of 1.4:1. No significant association was seen between age and gender of the patient (p-value 0.933). Majority of patients were male involving buccal mucosa (51.67%) as the most frequently involved site followed by retromolar area (20%) and tongue (13.3%). Mean age of patients included in the study was 50.87 ± 5.53. Conclusion: Most of the cases of OSCC were seen in older patients with increased number of cases involving buccal mucosa as their primary site. Majority of the tumors were classified as stage III followed by Stage IV, Stage II and stage 1 respectively.

Background: Fiber-optic bronchoscopy (FOB) is an invasive procedure performed to identify possible endobronchial lesions. Diabetic patients often present with non-resolving pneumonia and collapse, many of whom are elderly and smoker; thus always giving rise to the suspicion of malignancy.Methods: This observational study was performed from March 2009 to August 2013 in the Department of Internal Medicine and Pulmonology of BIRDEM General Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh; a 500 bedded tertiary care hospital dealing mostly with diabetic patients.Results: Out of 160 diabetic patients 126 (78.7%) were male, 34 (21.3%) were female. Mean age of the patients was – 57.2 ±10.8 years. The indications of bronchoscopy were collapse (38, 23.8%), non-resolving consolidation (55, 34.4%), mass lesion (38, 23.8%), hemoptysis (10, 6.2%) and others (19, 11.8%). Findings in the bronchoscopy were mitotic lesion (56, 35.0%), inflammatory lesion (50, 31.3%) and normal finding (54, 33.8%). Among 56 cases of mitotic lesion, bronchial biopsy was taken in 48 (85.7%) cases. Histopathology reports of bronchial biopsy were squamous cell carcinoma (18, 37.5%), large cell carcinoma (11, 22.9%), adenocarcinoma (7, 14.6%), small cell carcinoma (5, 10.4%), inflammatory lesion (4, 8.3%) and normal finding (3, 6.3%). Among 38 cases of collapse, mitotic lesion was found in 24 (63.2%) cases. Among 55 (100%) cases of non-resolving consolidation, mitotic lesion was found in 18 (32.5%), inflammation in 23 (41.8%) and normal findings in 14 (25.5%) cases.Conclusion: Bronchoscopy is an useful method to detect any endobronchial lesion in suspected cases of collapse or non-resolving pneumonia in diabetic patients and it can be the choice of investigation in non-resolving pneumonia.Birdem Med J 2016; 6(1): 18-21

Background: Around the globe, carcinoma of the esophagus is the eighth most prevalent cancer with an incidence of 456,000 cases per year and is the sixth cause of cancer mortality. There are two major histological subtypes of carcinoma of the esophagus, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. The aim of the current study is to evaluate the frequency of different histopathological types of esophageal cancer in patients presenting at the tertiary care hospital of Karachi. Patients and methods: It was a cross-sectional study conducted at the Department of Clinical Oncology, Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Center, Karachi from March 2017 till March 2019. Two hundred and one histologically proven cases of esophageal cancer of in patients of either gender and between 15-80 years of age were included. Patients were interviewed and data regarding age, gender, education, marital status, employment status, addictions like cigarette or huqqa smoking, consumption of pan, betel nut, naswar, or gutka were recorded. Endoscopy and histology and computed tomography scan were performed. Stage, site, grade and type of tumor were noted. SPSS version 23 was used to analyze data. Mean and SD were calculated for quantitative variables. Frequency and percentage were calculated for qualitative variables. A Chi-square test was used to assess the significance between age and gender with type of EC. A p-value≤0.05 was taken as significant. Results: Mean age of the patients was 47.84. The majority of the patients had stage 2 of cancer (42.8%) and lower tumor site (62.2%) Squamous cell carcinoma was the most common histopathological type in 137 patients out of 201 (68%). The age, gender, smoking, consumption of pan, grade, site, and stage of the tumor showed a statistically significant difference when compared with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and esophageal adenocarcinoma. Conclusion: The burden of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma is dramatically increasing in the Pakistani population and squamous cell carcinoma was the most common histopathological type.

BACKGROUND: . The skin is a complex organ in which a wide range of neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases can develop Exposure to sun is the most common risk factor but genetic and environmental factors , also play an important role. All ages . can be affected, however, the frequency of neoplasms increases with age Also there is an alarming increase among fair-skinned people. MATERIAL & METHODS: All the biopsies and excision specimens submitted from may 2018 to june 2020. RESULTS;Ttotal 51 specimens are studied, out of which 15 are benign and 36 are malignant. Epidermal lesions are34,adnexal lesions13,melanocytic lesions are four. CONCLUSION; females are more commonly affected than males and squamous cell carcinoma is the commonest malignancy followed by basal cell carcinoma
