The present study has been conducted aiming at characterization of the fine structural changes in the aggressive (recurrent) and non-aggressive (non-recurrent) BCC cases of the histologic solid type. The results of this work revealed certain features' that can characterize the aggressive type as: dominant dark cells, adenoid configurations of the tumour cells, irregular cell membranes, marked deficiency of desmosomes and hem idesmosomes, promi!1ent microfiJaments, and frequent mast cells detection. According to these findings, it is recommended that each BCC lesion must be considered individually and the electron microscopy might aid in predicting the possible behaviour of the tumour cells in question.  ISSN : 0070-9484  Journal Name : cairo dental journal  Volume : 14  Issue Number : 2  Publishing Year : 1998 AH 1998 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Friday, October 30, 2009  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email عزة السيسي elsisi, azza Researcher Doctorate   Files File Name Type Description  23638.pdf pdf   Back To Researches Page
