Intracranial metastases: therapeutic options.
Metastatic spread of tumour cells detached from systemic tumours into the central nervous system occurs hematogenously since lymphatic drainage is absent in the brain. Little is known about the precise mechanisms of tumour cell attachment in the brain and local progression of micrometastasis into clinically symptomatic tumours or into lesions visible on modern imaging techniques, such as magnet...
متن کاملRetroperitoneal fibrosis with pancreatic involvement – radiological appearance
BACKGROUND Retroperitoneal fibrosis or Ormond's disease is an uncommon process characterized by fibrous tissue proliferation in the retroperitoneum, usually involving the aorta, inferior vena cava and iliac vessels. Obstructive hydronephrosis is often observed due to ureteral entrapment. This report presents a case of the peripancreatic location of the disease. The role of CT and MRI in establi...

A review of the primary tumours of the nervous system encountered over the past 16 years from the population of the west of Scotland uncovered only three tumours in which remote extracranial metastases had developed. In all three, there had been surgical intervention before the appearance of metastases. The findings in these patients are compared with those in other published accounts of this u...
متن کاملVertebral metastases from intracranial meningioma
Meningioma rarely gives rise to metastases outside the brain and meninges.

متن کاملFDG PET Appearance of “Cannonball” Pulmonary Metastases
We present the case of a 67-year-old woman with a recent tissue diagnosis of endometrial cancer whose FDG PET scan exhibited multiple hypermetabolic foci through out both the lungs. Contemporaneously acquired conventional radiolographs showed parenchymal nodules that demonstrated the classic "cannon ball" appearance of pulmonary metastases. Pulmonary metastasis from an endometrial primary is a ...
