Thymoma Metastasis to the Semimembranosus Muscle
نویسندگان
چکیده
Thymoma is the most common thymic epithelial tumor whose classification was first introduced in 1999. Type B2 thymoma is considered a moderate/high-risk tumor; however, extrathoracic metastases are extremely rare with limited reports to date. In this report, we present a rare thymoma metastasis to the semimembranosus muscle, which was resected with a wide margin after confirmation by open biopsy. At the final follow-up after 1 year, no local recurrence has been observed.

Here we describe a 65 years old man was diagnosed with GEJ adenocarcinoma in tertiary hospital, Tehran, Iran...
متن کاملMuscle pathology, thymoma, and immunological abnormalities in patients with myasthenia gravis.
In 1901, Weigert described a patient with myasthenia gravis, thymoma, and lymphorrhages. He regarded these lymphocellular infiltrates in the muscles as metastases of the thymoma. Lymphorrhages have since been frequently described in patients with myasthenia, with or without thymoma (Link, 1903; Rowland, Hoefer, Aranow, and Houston Merritt, 1956; Mendelow, 1958; Genkins, Mendelow, Sobel, and Oss...
متن کاملDistal semimembranosus muscle-tendon-unit review: morphology, accurate terminology, and clinical relevance.
BACKGROUND Our knowledge of the stability of the posteromedial knee is evolving. The distal semimembranosus is an important posteromedial stabilizer of the knee. Current anatomical texts and atlases do not accurately detail the distal insertion. Journal literature commonly mentions multiple distal insertions, one of which contributes to the oblique popliteal ligament. The purpose of this study ...
متن کاملBrain Metastasis from Invasive Thymoma Mimicking Intracerebral Hemorrhage: Case Report
A 55-year-old man with an 8-year history of invasive thymoma presented with sudden onset of left hemiparesis. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging showed a right frontal lobe intracerebral hemorrhage and the possibility of brain metastasis could not be rejected. The patient underwent removal of the hematoma. Histological examination showed brain metastasis from invasive ...

Forty-eight Yorkshire cross pigs of three stress susceptibility classes (stress positive, stress-carrier, and stress negative) were injected daily with porcine somatotropin (pST; 4 mg/d) or placebo. Each pig was injected in the neck once daily until taken off test, starting when the pigs weighed 59 kg. Porcine somatotropin treatment was terminated at weekly intervals as individual pigs reached ...
