The involvement of retroperitoneal lymph nodes in primary serous-papillary peritoneal carcinoma. a systematic review of the literature.

چکیده
BACKGROUND Primary serous-papillary peritoneal carcinoma is able to spread to the retroperitoneal lymph nodes, but there is no evidence of the pattern of lymphatic metastasis. Because of the fact that this tumor entity is indistinguishable histologically from primary serous-papillary ovarian carcinoma, its taxonomic position has thus far remained unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS The Medline database was used to identify studies about lymphatic spread pattern and to compare those studies. RESULTS Four out of the fifteen studies were selected. Each based their analysis on a different classification of the pelvic and para-aortal lymph nodes; 63.9% of the women with primary serous-papillary peritoneal carcinoma had retroperitoneal lymph node involvement. CONCLUSION Metastasis of primary serous-papillary peritoneal carcinoma to retroperitoneal lymph nodes is not an infrequent occurrence, but there is no evidence of a distinct pattern of spread.

Peritoneal origin serous papillary carcinoma is an uncommon primary malignancy occurring in the abdominal or pelvic peritoneum lining. It is characterized by peritoneal carcinomatosis with massive ascites, uninvolved or minimally involved ovary, and is histologically indistinguishable from ovarian serous tumors. Better recognition of this phenomenon in recent years has contributed to an increas...

Ectopic thyroid tissue results from abnormal embryologic development and migration of the thyroid gland. True malignant transformation in ectopic thyroid tissue is extremely rare and is always diagnosed after surgical excision of the lesion by pathology examinations. There are well-documented cases of ectopic thyroid cancer while primary tumoral lesion occurs in the orthotopic thyroid, but only...

Primary peritoneal carcinoma is defined as an adenocarcinoma arising in the peritoneum, with or without minimum ovarian involvement. It was described for the first time by Martin A. Swerdlow in 1959 and since then it has been issue of investigation, but the knowledge we had about it is scant; however, the similarities with ovarian surface epithelial carcinoma are fascinating. Primary peritoneal...

Background and Objective: Thyroid cancer is the most frequent endocrine malignancy in the world and papillary carcinoma is the most frequent thyroid carcinoma. Different markers used for determination of prognosis and VEGFR is one of them. The aim of present study was to determine the expression of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor (VEGFR) as a prognostic marker in papillary carcinoma...

Papillary carcinoma of the thyroid constitutes 80% of thyroid malignancies in adults. Females are affected at least twice as often as males. It metastasizes to distant sites very rarely, but to the cervical nodes quite often. Occasionally metastatic lymph node enlargement is the sole presenting feature. t.3.6.7 The tumor is slow growing and sometimes the patient has good survival even in s...
