Metastatic Mucinous Adenocarcinoma Mimicking Cerebral Hemorrhage
نویسندگان
چکیده
Brain metastases originate most commonly from carcinonoma of lung, breast, and colon and from melanoma. Therefore, metastatic adenocarcinoma to the brain are common metastatic brain tumor. Generally, metastatic adenocarcinoma in the brain appears low density on the non-enhanced computed tomography(CT). However, in very rare case mucin-containing metastatic adenocarcinoma show high density mimicking cerebral hemorrhage. We report a case of metastatic adenocarcinoma to the brain that appeared as a homogeneously hyperdense mass on CT.

Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Sampling of a Metastatic Mucinous Adenocarcinoma Mimicking a Gastric Subepithelial Tumor
Metastatic mucinous adenocarcinoma of appendix origin and mimicking a gastric subepithelial tumor (SET) is very rare. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided sampling is a useful diagnostic method for SETs. However, the cytologic findings of metastatic mucinous adenocarcinoma are unfamiliar to many pathologists and gastroenterologists. These findings present a diagnostic challenge because the introd...
متن کاملHemorrhagic Brain Metastases in a Patient with Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK)-Rearranged Invasive Mucinous Adenocarcinoma of the Lung
BACKGROUND Invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma (IMA) is a rare variant of adenocarcinoma of the lung. It frequently shows KRAS mutations, while ALK rearrangement is exceedingly rare. We present a case of ALK-rearranged IMA of the lung presenting with an unusual pattern of brain metastases, radiologically mimicking a cavernous angioma. CASE REPORT A 44-year-old non-smoker female was first diagnosed...

We studied the diagnostic value of Cdx2 to distinguish mucinous bronchioloalveolar carcinoma from mucinous colorectal adenocarcinoma metastatic to the lung. We retrieved 92 via the hospital computer system, including 30 mucinous bronchioloalveolar carcinomas, 32 nonmucinous bronchioloalveolar carcinomas, and 30 mucinous colorectal adenocarcinomas metastatic to the lung. All cases were confirmed...
متن کاملMetastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas presents as metastases to the axillary/supraclavicular region as the first sign of the disease
Mucinous tumors of the pancreas are rare and the diagnosis of invasive carcinoma can be a dilemma. While metastatic disease from mucinous cystadenocarcinoma (MCAC) and invasive intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) have been reported, no extraperitoneal mucinous cystic metastatic disease has been described. When metastatic, the overall survival rates for invasive adenocarcinoma, mucin...

Background: Ovarian mucinous borderline tumors are divided into two morphologic groups: endocervical-like and intestinal type. Most endocervical adenocarcinomas exhibit mucinous and/or endometrioid differentiation, they infrequently metastasize to the ovaries but may simulate primary ovarian tumors (both atypical proliferative or borderline and carcinoma). In patients with mucinous adenocarcino...
