Mimickers of Carcinoma

Each year in the United States approximately 1,000,000 cases of non-melanoma skin cancer are diagnosed. Of these cases roughly 80% are basal cell carcinomas and 20% are squamous cell carcinomas. 1 A small percentage of these carcinomas are rare malignancies of adnexal origin and cutaneous metastases.

they contain small pieces of food, this likely contributes to their chance performance in their choices between strips in a support problem task, even in the simplest configurations. I should add that many of the problems encountered when comparing distantly related species may also apply to comparing members of the same taxonomic group or even the same species in different labs.

Osteoblastic Metastases Mimickers on Contrast Enhanced CT

Secondary osseous involvement in lymphoma is more common compared to primary bone lymphoma. The finding of osseous lesion can be incidentally discovered during the course of the disease. However, osseous metastases are infrequently silent. Detection of osseous metastases is crucial for accurate staging and optimal treatment planning of lymphoma. The aim of imaging is to identify the presence an...
