What Is Finasteride? Finasteride is a prescription medication that treats benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) under the brand name Propecia and male-pattern hair loss under the brand name Proscar. It is part of a class of medications known as 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors. Finasteride works by decreasing the amount of hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in your body. By reducing DHT, finasteride can help prevent the prostate from growing larger. It can also increase hair growth and decrease hair loss on your head. Finasteride is an oral medication available in tablet form. It is available under two brand names and formulations for separate indications: Propecia 1-milligram (mg) tablet for BPH and Proscar 5-milligram tablet for male-pattern hair loss. There is also a generic version.

Do Clear Cell Changes in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Warrant It Being Recognised as a Variant? - Cureus

Image
Histological variants of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) include verrucous, basaloid, spindle cell, adenosquamous, papillary, and acantholytic types. Clear-cell changes in OSCC are rare. We report a case of a 65-year-old male Chinese patient who presented with a swelling in the lower-left mandible for three weeks, causing ill-fitting of his lower denture and an ulcer on the floor of the mouth. Histologically, the lesion showed a dense proliferation of malignant tumor cells arranged in islands and sheets consisting of squamoid cells intermixed with signet ring-shaped clear cells. The clear cells were negative for mucicarmine, periodic acid Schiff (PAS), periodic acid Schiff-diastase (PAS-D), and alcian blue (AB). Immunohistochemistry showed the tumor cells were immuno-positive for cytokeratin (CK) and p63, but CK7, CK20, and S100 were immuno-negative. Therefore, a metastatic tumor in the oral cavity was suggested. However, the CT scan did not show any primary tumors in ...
