Members who helped in diagnosing the case as Basal Cell Carcinoma:

Alka D kale

D/D : trichoepithelioma

 -basal cell carcinoma

--neuro endocrine         carcinoma

-spitz naevus

 

Gururaja.Rao

This is a case of Basal cell carcinoma

 

Sook Woo

It looks like an infiltrating SCC to me. It looks like it is from skin rather than nasal mucosa.

 

Dr. Ricardo Moreno

I think that is a kind of Basocellular carcinoma.

 

Dr Susmita Saxena

Basal Cell Carcinoma

 

Pablo Agustin Vargas

The histological figures suggest the diagnosis of Infiltrating Basal Cell Carcinoma.

 

Mei Syafriadi

Proliferation of epithelial basal cell nest that related to the surface, some part calcification, keratinization and fibrous stromal, invasive to adipose tissue. some pattern showed  hair follicle-like origin. Dx Basal Cell Ca. DD: Trichoephithelioma

 

Chong Huat Siar

My favoured diagnosis is basal cell carcinoma. Thank you for sharing with us this interesting case. Best regards, Siar

 

G N Mohanty

Uniform looking cells arranged in sheets with peripheral pallisading of nuclei, melanin pigmentation. Squamous differentiation focally.? perinural spread.it can be Basal cell carcinoma.Site is very suggeastive also.

 

Dr.Ilana Kaplan

Basaloid SCC?

Got mixed resposes for this case. Most members either suggested either solitary fibrous tumour or  pyogenic granuloma, however needed special stains to diagnose:

Paulo Tambasco

Hemangioendothelioma

 

Prof.Paolo Boccato

Possible polimorphous low grade carcinoma of the salivary glands

 

Sook woo

The micrographs do not show if the tumor is infiltrative or encapsulated. It is hard to tell. I can only say it looks like a spindle cell vascular proliferation at this power but cannot tell if it is benign, malignant or of intermediate biologic potential.

 

D Gnepp

? Solitary fibrous tumor; need battery of immuno stains; R/O out sarcomatoid squamous Ca, spindle cell melanoma, etc

 

Pablo Agustin Vargas

The quality of photomicrographs is barely adequate. However, my diagnosis opinion is a mesenchymal neoplasm and an immunohistochemical study is essential to perform a precise diagnosis.

 

James Cade

Pyogenic granuloma

 

Wang Li

Vescular Epulis

 

Román Carlos

The quality of the histology is poor however it is suggestive of SOLITARY FIBROUS TUMOR

 

Dr. Alka Kale

Slide reviewed shows fibro-cellular stroma, Inflammatory component, Many blood vessels-Pyogenic granuloma

 

Dr. Vinay Hazarey

May be Kaposi sarcoma.

 

Dr Priya

Pyogenic granuloma(presence of mitotic figures & inflammatory comonent)

 

Chuck Tomich

This could be a reactive myofibroblastic proliferation.  I'd do some immunostains.

 

Sourav Bhattacharya

Fibrous histiocytoma

 

Dr. Narendra Nath Singh

It appears to be HEMANGIOpericytoma. suggested special stain silver stains for confirmation

 

Dr Gita Rezvani

Fibromatosis

 

Dr. G.S.kumar

All the 3 histopath. pictures show either spindle or ovoid cells with a certain degree of malignant features. these cells are not lining the bld. vessels, but they are close to it. if both components- spindle &ovoid cells truly exist(not due to sectioning),then one can  think of fibrous Histiocytoma, otherwise you have to confirm these cells as endothelial or pericytes and then your diagnosis could be haemangiompericytoma/endothelioma

 

Magesh K.T.

shows plenty of endothelial cellproliferation. may be pyogenic granulomma

 

Dr. Archana

The Clinical history and the photomicrographs go in favour of Peripheral Giant Cell Granuloma

 

Indraneel Bhattacharyya

Most likely a lesion of vascular origin i.e hemangiopericytoma I would perform a CD 34 stain

 

Dr. Jaimin Patel

fibrosarcoma. i think more  fields should be examined.   prominent and atypical cells seen, with pleomorphism.

 

Manish

The photomicrograph of the  high power view of the sections shows spindle shaped cells showing hyperchromatic nucleus and prominent nucleoli and also they appear to originate from the wall of the blood vessel...could be a case of leiomyosarcoma

 

Charles E. Tomich

My differential diagnosis includes a reactive myofibroblastic lesion and a vascular lesion.  I recommend appropriate immunostains.

 

Dr Kalpana Sharma

pyogenic granuloma

Members who helped in diagnosing the case as Desmoplastic Ameloblastoma:

Dr. Vinay Hazarey

Desmoplastic Ameloblastoma

 

Pablo Agustin Vargas

Ameloblastoma with acanthomatous and desmoplastic areas.

 

Nagamani Narayana

desmoplastic ameloblastoma

 

Carl M. Allen, DDS

desmoplastic ameloblastoma

 

Kurt Summersgill

Focus, resolution, and magnification are less than adequate for these images. That stated, it looks like ameloblastoma.

 

John Wright

Dangerous offering a definitive dx because the photomics are not diagnostic quality, but some features suggest desmoplastic ameloblastoma

 

Indraneel Bhattacharyya

Most likely an odontogenic tumor with the presence of odontogenic epithelial islands and also the dense fibrous stroma I would favor a desmoplastic ameloblastoma. However, the radiographic picture puzzles me since there is no evidence of calcified structures at least on the provided photos.

 

W M Tilakaratne

Desmoplastic ameloblastoma

 

Dr Baalaji

acanthomatic ameloblastoma

 

Dr Malathi

ameloblastoma-

 

Aditi Bhattacharya

Desmoplastic Ameloblastoma

 

Hedley Coleman

The features suggest a diagnosis of desmoplastic ameloblastoma

 

Sook-Bin Woo

Most of the photomics are out of focus, but it looks like a schirrous/desmoplastic ameloblastoma. The history of mixed lucent/opaque lesion is typical.

 

Ravi Shetty

If You want to call it Desmoplastic ameloblastomas, check the radiographs to rule out the tumour perforating the cortex and spilling in the soft tissue. X-rays are must

 

Paul Freedman

Desmoplastic ameloblastoma

 

Mala Kamboj

To me it looks like a well polarised basal cell lining surrounded with excessive collagen in the connective tissue stroma. It could be Desmoplastic Ameloblastoma.

 

Susan Zunt

Ameloblastoma with desmoplasia, based on these images.

 

Lewei Zhang

Ameloblastoma

 

Samadara

It is a Desmoplastic Ameloblastoma

 

Sivapathasundharam B

Diagnosis: Desmoplastic Amelobalstoma. In this case the site and radiographic appea rence (Mixed radio-opacity and Lucency,mimicking fibroosseous lesion)is typical. Histologically mature fibrous tissue, and diamond shaped epithelial islands some of which have typical kite-tail like extension. However a recurrent amelobalstoma should be kept in mind if  mature  fibrous tissue alone is encounterd.

 

Dr. Behnam Eslami

In histological features it looks like an epithelial odontogenic tumor. Unfortunately I don't have good pictures but it dosen't seem malignant (actually it is also well defined). With radiological data the lesion is mostly compatible with: Desmoplastic Ameloblastoma.

 

Benjamin Martinez, MS

Desmoplastic ameloblastoma.

Members who interpreted the case as Clear Cell Odontogenic Carcinoma, however suggested special stains to rule out Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma:

Lan Su

clear cell odontogenic carcinoma, rule out central mucoepidermoid carcinoma

 

Dr. Dinesh

Clear cell odontogenic carcinoma

 

Chaitanya

odontogenic carcinoma

 

Carl Allen

This appears to be an odontogenic epithelial neoplasm, and the features are most consistent with a malignant process.  Clear cell odontogenic carcinoma or ameloblastic carcinoma with a clear cell component would be the most likely diagnosis, based on these photomicrographs.

 

Susan Zunt, DDS, MS

Clear cell odontogenic carcinoma

 

Sook-bin woo

Hard to tell. Lots like carcinoma and the d/dx would include, odontogenic carcinoma, clear cell odontogenic carcinoma or even mucoepidermoid carcinoma. Stains would help.

 

Raghu AR

For me the first impression was a clear cell odontogenic tumor, but from the photomicrograph i see in some areas a lot of cytological atypia which is not a typical of Clear Cell Odontogenic tumor/ carcinoma. Kindly do a PAS/Mucicarmine and rule of Mucoepidermoid carcinoma

 

Somsri R Sirivej:

I have a feeling this is a case of carcinoma. With a lot of clear cells  and epidermoid like cell, I think it's intraosseous mucoepidermoid carcinoma.

 

Benjamin Martinez, MS

Consistent with metastatic clear cells adenocarcinoma, r/o: kidney, thyroid as origin of the primary tumor. Also clear cell odontogenic carcinoma could be considered but there are large quantity of vessels and suggested more as metastatic.

Case 27:

         A male patient aged 30 years  came for extraction. A  routine radiograph revealed a radiolucent lesion. On surgical exploration the lesion was found to be a cystic lesion. It was curetted and was found to have a friable lining. The Cheesy material expulsed through the lesion was diagnosed as OKC.

Members Interpretations of the case

Nirmala  N  Rao
       The cystic epithilium is not in favour of OKC .rete ridges seen are not characteristic of OKC. There is also evidence of sebaceous differentiation within the epithelium .There are numerous tangentials in epithelium Kindly take some serial sections.

 Dr Sunita (Belgaum)
1.OKC With Dysplasia
2.Unicystic Ameloblastoma

Jung-Hoon Yoon
The quality of photomicrographs is very poor. It seems like Unicystic Ameloblastoma

 Dr.G.S.Kumar
The cystic epithelium is of stratified squamous type, proliferative,showing evidence of dysplasia-a possible development of squamous cell carcinoma from cyst(possibly a keratocyst)

 Dr. Mei Syafriadi
According to microscophic picture,We could not see any inflammatory cells infiltration or granulation layer, so radicular cyst is ommited. This is closely to OKC because there is keratinization in superficial layer. The tooth was vital or not vital?

 Dr.G.Sivakumar
The Histopathologic Picture Suggestive of Unicystic Ameloblastoma Developed in A cystic lining

 Ilana Kaplan
Lining is keratinizing, but it's too thick for OKC.
I would diagnose it as an odontogenic cyst with kertinization (maybe radicular or residual- do not have enough details)

 Dr Susmita Saxena
Unicystic ameloblastoma

 Alberto Peraza
That case, seems to be a okc, but the biopsy  must be taken on 4x, because the need to see the configuration of the basal layer palizaded, there is a combination of parakeratine and orthokeratine, satelital lining cyst, it would be nice if you put the radiograph of the lesion, the acanthotic epithelium is a consideration, thats all, thanks.

 Linaena
The histopathological aspects is compatible with odontogenic cysts

 C.D. Mario Nava
Odontogenic cyst, where are the lesion? solitary, periapical, crown tooth?

 James Adrian
The lining of the cyst is not c/w OKC. It appears to be a Dentigerous cyst.

 Dr.Gaurav Sapra
corrugated epithelium is evident ..and elongated nuclei is clearly visible in basal cell layer...somewhat picket fence appearance...suggests odontogenic keratocyst

 Carl M. Allen
This could represent either an inflamed OKC or cystic ameloblastoma. I would have to be able to review the entire section in order to comment further.

 Rashmi Metgud
Even I had come across a same case. But the radiolucency was around impacted tooth 38.
U have not mentioned complete case history. I mean site of the lesion.

 Ricardo Alves de Mesquita
This may be a case of OKC with epithelial dysplastic alterations. In one specific area may be a microinvasive carcinoma.

 Dr Sanjeev Mehta
Epidermal (dermoid)Cyst

 Joaquín Urbizo Vélez
Odontogenic keratocyst with hyperplastic projections, dysplasia and dysketatosis.

 Dr. Sivapathasundharam B
Though the classical histological appearance of OKC is not present in the given photomicrograph, this case could be still OKC

 Eduardo Fregnani
Radiograph would be very important in this case. It seems to be a residual cyst. 

 David Booth
I think that the upper right photomicrograph shows ameloblastoma as well as the lower left showing OKC

 Bryan Whitaker
Looks like possible preameloblastic change in the cyst wall from what I can see (would like a little higher power on the cyst lining)

 Dr Vijay Wadhwan
Looks like an okc with daughter cysts, but what about the protein estimation. That can help.

 Décio Santos Pinto Jr
It seems an Ameloblastoma to me.

 Dr.Gaurav Sapra
The corrugated and keratinized epithelia along with the changes in the basal cell nuclei indicates odontogenic keratocyst

 Allan
The diagnosis seems Keratocyst

 Al Munawir
Odontogenic Cyst Carcinoma

 Dr.N.Chaitanya babu
It appears to be an epidermoid cyst

 Pankaj
This seems to be a case of "para keratinized okc"

 Supriya Koshti
Unicystic Ameloblastoma (Mural Type)

 Dr Chandrashekar
OKC

Saleem
Residual cyst/ PA cyst; what abt the teeth in that region?

Case 28:
             A 60-year-old male patient reported with a painless swelling in the lower anterior region. The swelling which was hard in consistency, gradually increased in size since 1 year to attain its present size of approximately 6x4cm in the midsymphyseal and parasymphyseal region.

Members who interpreted the case as Clear Cell Odontogenic Carcinoma, however suggested special stains to rule out Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma or Metastatic Renal cell Carcinoma

Mehraj Shams
Clear cell odontogenic carcinoma.
Clear Cell Adenocarcinoma

Farzan Naveen
The cells are clear & shows atypia. Calcifications are also seen which gives an impression of odontogenic tumor. It could be clear cell odontogenic carcinoma. Tumor markers can be used to reach final diagnosis.

Clear cell Odontogenic Carcinoma-low grade variant. Help for diagnosis taken from DR.SWARNA of our GEN PATH DEPT

Dr.Kraisorn Sappayatosok / Dr. Kittipong Dhanuthai

Gururaj patil
Sir, it may be clear cell odontogenoic carcinoma

Sachin Sarode
Metastatic renal cell carcinoma, (rule out the primary)

Premdeep Gandhi
I think it is a sarcomatous lesion of cartilaginous origin

K.Karunakaran
Lesion shows presence of clear cells,calcification,perineural invasion,round cells with mild dysplastic feature striking in favour of clear cell variant of calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumour.and also clear cell odontogenic carcinoma,but calcification and perineural invasion disfavour this.and also rule out primary renal cell carcinoma.

Mei Syafriadi
clear cell tumor

Alberto
Clear cell tumor with trabecular patron

J. Fantasia
Clear cell odontogenic carcinoma

Indraneel Bhattacharyya
I think the histology when combined witht radiographic and clinical presentation most likely represents a clear cell odontogenic carcinoma. Other considerations would be clear cell mucoepidermoid carcinoma, metastatic renal cell.

Mario Nava
Clear-cell odontogenic carcinoma (rule out intraosseous mucoepidermoid carcinoma and metastatic clear cell renal carcinoma)

Gerardo Meza
Hialinizaing clear cell carcinoma

Carl M. Allen, DDS
This appears to be most consistent with clear cell odontogenic carcinoma.

Susan Zunt
This looks like a clear cell odontogenic carcinoma. 

Darunee Jintakanon
I think about clear cell odontogenic carcinoma, differential diagnosis includes metastatic renal cell carcinoma, mucoepidermoid carcinoma clear cell variant.Special stains for PAS, PAS diastase and mucin.

Jung-Hoon Yoon
Clear cell odontogenic carcinoma

Rogelio
Clear cell odontogenic carcinoma vs. clear cell variant of calcifying epithelial odontogenic

Kalu Ogbureke
Diagnosis: clear cell odontogenic carcinoma

Bernardo Cruz
It looks like mets of clear cell adenocarcinoma maybe of kidney

Mabokesone
The tumor is composed mainy of clear cells forming nests or small strands separated by fibrous connective tissue septae. Small foci of calcification probably of dysplastic cementum or dentin type could be seen. But I could not see clear ameloblastomatous differentiation of the peripheral tumor cells. In considering the histological features with the multilocular appearance of the lesion in the X-ray, the age and also the lesional site, I would give the diagnosis of clear cell odontogenic tumor.
Mucin stain to exclude mucoepidermoid carcinoma and thorough examination of the patient to detect distant metastasis are necessary.

Ney Soares De Araujo
Clear cell carcinoma.

Nasser Said-Al-Naief
Central clear cell odontogenic carcinoma, but obligated to exclude mets from kidney, and others

Charles E. Tomich
I interpret the lesion as a clear cell odontogenic carcinoma
Some peripheral palisading of the clear cells inthe last photomic suggests the diagnois of clear cell odontogenic carcinoma
