Small Intestinal Metastasis from Small Cell Lung Cancer

Small intestinal metastasis from small cell lung cancer.

A 71-year-old man who had small cell lung cancer was referred to our institution. Before starting chemotherapy, anemia progressed and stool examination was positive for occult blood. An abdominal computed tomography scan with contrast medium enhancement of the gastrointestinal tract disclosed a small intestinal tumor. Histological examination after the surgery confirmed that the tumor was metas...

[Gastric metastasis from small cell lung cancer].

Small cell carcinomas are most frequently localised within the lung, however, they also may be detected at extrapulmonary sites such as the gastrointestinal tract and the genitourinary tract. The confirmation of a small cell carcinoma outside of the lung may not necessarily indicate the presence of a metastasis, however, it also may represent the primary tumor itself. We present the case of a p...

It is proved when metastatic cancer to the thyroid occurs, and then the prognosis of overall survival is poor [4]. In our patient, the time from diagnosis of a primary tumor to TM detection and death was only two months. The overall survival of patients with metastases to the thyroid is 33.7± 6.6 months...

Bilateral Choroidal Metastasis from Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Breast and lung cancers are the most common primary neoplasms to manifest with choroidal metastases. The incidence of choroidal metastases from metastatic lung cancer was reported to be 2-6.7%. We report a case of bilateral choroidal metastasis from non-small cell lung cancer. A 59-year-old Caucasian female patient, never a smoker, was diagnosed with stage IV lung adenocarcinoma metastatic to t...
