Bronchogenic carcinoma: incidence of metastases to normal sized lymph nodes.
BACKGROUND The incidence of metastases to mediastinal lymph nodes was evaluated in patients with normal sized mediastinal nodes on the computed tomographic (CT) scan who underwent thoracotomy. The use of hilar lymph nodes in predicting mediastinal lymph node metastases was also assessed. METHODS Ninety patients with non-small cell lung cancer who later underwent thoracotomy wer prospectively ...
متن کاملAxillary lymph node metastases as the sole clinical site of occult breast carcinoma.
Patients without evidence of breast disease, who present with axillary lymph node metastases, consistent with breast origin, comprise a diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma. We describe such a case of a 47-year-old female, who complained of swelling and pain of the left axilla, but no breast mass was palpable. Although histology identified a metastatic adenocarcinoma in the lymph nodes, numerous ...
متن کاملAxillary lymph node metastasis in medullary thyroid carcinoma: A case report
Introduction: Medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) is an uncommon neoplasm originating from parafollicular C cells. Distant metastasis in MTC, such as axillary node involvement, is extremely rare. Case Report: The present study describes a known case of MTC with axillary lymph node metastasis in a 31-year-old woman. In 2010, she underwent total thyroidectomy and right-sided modified radical neck dis...
متن کاملA Logistic Regression Model for Predicting Axillary Lymph Node Metastases in Early Breast Carcinoma Patients
Nodal staging in breast cancer is a key predictor of prognosis. This paper presents the results of potential clinicopathological predictors of axillary lymph node involvement and develops an efficient prediction model to assist in predicting axillary lymph node metastases. Seventy patients with primary early breast cancer who underwent axillary dissection were evaluated. Univariate and multivar...
متن کاملMorbidity following sentinel lymph node biopsy versus axillary lymph node dissection for patients with breast carcinoma.
BACKGROUND Axillary lymph node dissection for staging the axilla in breast carcinoma patients is associated with considerable morbidity, such as edema of the arm, pain, sensory disturbances, impairment of arm mobility, and shoulder stiffness. Sentinel lymph node biopsy electively removes the first lymph node, which gets the drainage from the tumor and should therefore be associated with nearly ...
