Case (1):

72 year-old male presents with a slowly growing, ulcerated lesion

located on the pinna of his right ear. The lesion is excised, and histologic
sections reveal infiltrating groups of cells in the dermis. These cells have
eosinophilic cytoplasm, intercellular bridges, and intracellular keratin
formation.
What is the correct diagnosis for this lesion?
a. Basal cell carcinoma
b. Fibrosarcoma
c. Chondrosarcoma
d. Poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma
e. Squamous cell carcinoma

In This case we will discuss:

What are the grades of this tumour?
Enumerate are the predisposing factors for squamous cell carcinoma?
What is the gross picture of basal cell carcinoma?

Case (2):
35-year-old male presents with a 0.3-cm flat light brown lesion on
his left forearm. The lesion is excised, and microscopy reveals nests of
round nevus cells within the lower epidermis at the dermal-epidermal
junction. There is no “fusion” present of adjacent nests of nevus cells. Cytologic
atypia is not present, nor are nevus cells seen in the superficial or
deep dermis. What is the correct diagnosis for this lesion?
a. Compound nevus
b. Squamous cell carcinoma
c. Basal cell carcinoma
d. Junctional nevus
e. Dermal nevus

In this case we will discuss:

What are types and of nevi?
What are the signs of malignant transformation of nevi?

Case (3):

A 64-year-old man with no prior medical history has had increasing back pain
and right hip pain for the past decade. The pain is worse at the end of the day.
By x- ray there are loose bodies inside the joint cavity. Which of the following
diseases is most likely the cause of this patient’s symptoms?

a- Gout

b- Osteoarthritis

c- Osteomyelitis

d- Osteoprosis

e- Rheumatoid arthritis

In this case we will discuss:

Enumerate are the causes of the case?

What is the nature of osteophyte?
