Hepatoma presenting as craniospinal metastasis: analysis of sixteen cases.

Supratentorial metastasis of medulloblastoma in adults

Two adults, 31 and 20 years of age, developed supratentorial metastasis 3½ years and 11 months, respectively, after gross total removal of their posterior fossa medulloblastoma. The first case developed spinal metastasis as well. Both had undergone craniospinal irradiation. Case 1 underwent laminectomy and case 2 underwent craniotomy because their presenting symptoms required so.

An Unusual Case of Metastatatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Presenting as Melena and Duodenal Ulcer, 16 Years After Nephrectomy; a Case Report and Review of the Literature

Renal cell carcinoma comprises about 2% of adult tumors. The overall 10-year survival rate of patients with RCC after nephrectomy is about 18-27%. The incidence of metastasis of initial RCC is about 24-28%, but this rate after nephrectomy is as high as 51%. The most common site of recurrence is the lung, however liver and bone metastases are common.There are many reported cases with late metast...

Pancreatic Metastasis of Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma Presenting as Acute Pancreatitis

Hepatoma presenting as a single cavitary lung mass.

A patient who had had a lobectomy for a large cavitary lung mass died one month later. An autopsy was performed and pathologic review of surgical and postmortem specimens confirmed that the original lung lesion was metastatic hepatoma. Excavating solitary metastases from primary adenocarcinomas represent the rarest form of cavitary metastatic lesion, and this is the first report of hepatocellul...

Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Presenting with Myocardial Metastasis and Heart Failure

Although involvement of the heart by malignant lymphoma is relatively common, it is unusual to be detected premortem. We report a case of Hodgkin's lymphoma who presented with systemic signs and symptoms including abdominal distension, weakness, pallor, chills and fever, hepatosplenomegaly and generalize...
