Lung Cancer Lymphatic Drainage and Bilateral Lung Transplantation
A 25-year-old female patient with cystic fibrosis underwent bilateral lung transplantation. A solitary lung nodule was discovered in the left upper lobe two years following transplantation. After thorough work-up and a biopsy proving the nodule to be an adenocarcinoma, a left upper lobectomy including complete mediastinal lymphadenectomy was performed. The analysis demonstrated adenocarcinoma w...
متن کاملUnderstanding Lymphatic Drainage Pathways of the Ovaries to Predict Sites for Sentinel Nodes in Ovarian Cancer
OBJECTIVE In ovarian cancer, detection of sentinel nodes is an upcoming procedure. Perioperative determination of the patient's sentinel node(s) might prevent a radical lymphadenectomy and associated morbidity. It is essential to understand the lymphatic drainage pathways of the ovaries, which are surprisingly up till now poorly investigated, to predict the anatomical regions where sentinel nod...

متن کاملMediastinal spread of metastatic lymph nodes in bronchogenic carcinoma. Mediastinal nodal metastases in lung cancer.
The location, frequency, and spread of metastases to the mediastinal lymph nodes were examined in 124 patients with histologically proven N2 disease who underwent pulmonary resection and total lymph node resection. There were one-level metastases in 47 percent of cases, two-level metastases in 29 percent, three-level in 12 percent, and 12 percent had four or more levels of metastases. Nodal met...
متن کاملPathological assessment of mediastinal lymph nodes in lung cancer: implications for non-invasive mediastinal staging.
BACKGROUND The use of computed tomography in mediastinal staging of lung cancer relies on the premiss that malignant lymph nodes are larger than benign ones. This hypothesis was tested by linking node size and presence or absence of malignancy and looking at factors possibly influencing the size of benign nodes. METHODS All accessible mediastinal lymph nodes were taken from 56 consecutive pat...
