Ossifying Parotid Carcinoma ex Pleomorphic Adenoma

We present a unique case of an extensively ossified carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma (CXPA) in a 76-year-old man with a five-year history of a slowly growing parotid mass. Fine-needle aspiration of the mass was nondiagnostic. A computed tomography (CT) scan of the lesion revealed a well-circumscribed mass with peripheral calcification. Initial pathological analysis suggested a benign parotid ma...

Bronchial adenoma in childhood.

Case Report D.F., a 6-year-old girl, came to the Children's Hospital, Birmingham, in February, 1953, because of seven attacks of 'left basal pneumonia', the last being in July, 1952. The first illness had been treated in Malaya in 1951 and had responded to a course of streptomycin and sulphonamides. She was a well built, somewhat pallid child with no symptoms. Finger clubbing was absent; the tr...

Ossifying pituitary adenoma co-existing with astrocytoma and pituitary adenoma associated with gangliocytoma: two unusual conditions.

Bone formation in pituitary adenoma is an extremely rare finding. Only five previous cases have been published. This is the sixth case report of an ossifying pituitary adenoma and the first case report of a pituitary adenoma with bone formation coexisting with WHO grade II astrocytoma. MRI imaging revealed an unusual eggshell cap-like calcified structure surrounding the tumor. ...

Occurrence of Bronchial Adenoma and Pulmonary Tuberculosis

Only a few years ago bronchial adenoma was considered a rare tumor. Recently, however, an increasing number of reports have been published of this neoplasm. On the basis of their experience Lindskog and Liebow3 hold that bronchial adenomata comprise 4 to 5 per cent of all pulmonary neoplasms. An adenoma originating in the bronchial wall gives rise to symptoms of obstruction, infection and haemo...
