An Unusual Case of Cauda Equina Secondary to Spinal Metastasis of Thyroid Cancer
Introduction: Cauda equina secondary to metastatic follicular thyroid cancer of the lumbosacral area is a rare entity. Case Report: We report an unusual case of a 52-year-old male who presented with backache, lower limb weakness, and perianal numbness. A CT-scan of the lumbosacral area showed an enhancing mass at the L4, L5 and S1 vertebrae. Histopathology after excision revealed a metast...
متن کاملUreteral Metastasis Secondary to Prostate Cancer: A Case Report
Prostate cancer is very frequent, but secondary ureteral metastasis are extremely rare. We present a 55 year old man with a 2 month history of right flank pain and lower urinary tract symptoms. Prostatic specific antigen of 11.3 ng/mL. Computed tomography showed right hydroureteronephrosis, a developing urinoma and right iliac adenopathies. He underwent right ureteronephrectomy, iliac lymphaden...
متن کاملBreast Cancer Metastasis to Pituitary Infandibulum
Metastasis from breast cancer to other parts of the body is very common, but the spread of the tumor to pituitary gland, especially to infandibulum, is a rare presentation. At the time of pituitary metastasis, a majority of the patients have clinical and radiological evidence of the disease. It seems that the posterior area of the gland is the most common site of metastasis, probably due to hig...
متن کاملAndrogen causes growth suppression and reversion of androgen-independent prostate cancer xenografts to an androgen-stimulated phenotype in athymic mice.
Most prostate cancer patients develop androgen-independent recurrent prostate tumors a few years after androgen ablation therapy. No therapy, however, has been shown to substantially extend survival in these patients. Previously, we reported that androgen suppresses the growth of androgen-independent LNCaP prostate tumor cells both in vitro and in vivo. In cell culture, androgen receptor (AR)-r...
متن کاملProstate cancer cell cycle regulators: response to androgen withdrawal and development of androgen independence.
BACKGROUND Androgen withdrawal is a standard therapy for prostate cancer that results in a decrease in tumor volume and a decline in serum prostate-specific antigen in the majority of patients. To understand the factors associated with regression of prostate cancers after androgen withdrawal, we studied cell cycle regulator changes in the CWR22 human prostate cancer xenograft model. METHODS E...
