Virchow's node together with an Irish node
نویسندگان
چکیده
Classical lymphadenopathies, such as Virchow's node (left supraclavicular lymph node metastasis) and Irish node (left axillary lymph node metastasis), are important findings that may indicate the presence of gastric cancer and other gastrointestinal malignancies.

Pulmonary Tumor Thrombotic Microangiopathy due to Advanced Gastric Cancer with Virchow's Node Metastasis.
Pulmonary tumor thrombotic microangiopathy (PTTM) is a fatal cancer-related complication characterized by severe progressive pulmonary hypertension. Antemortem diagnosis is difficult owing to the rapid progression of the condition, especially when the patient has no known malignancies and initially presents with pulmonary hypertension. Here we report a case of PTTM due to occult gastric cancer ...
متن کاملMetastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma to Virchow's node: have the tumor cells gone astray?
BACKGROUND Virchow's node is a common site for metastasis in cancers of the stomach and pancreas. It is rarely involved in hepatocellular carcinoma. METHOD We report on a patient with hepatoma who had metastasis to the left supraclavicular node at presentation. RESULTS This 25-year-old man presented with abdominal pain, fever, weight loss, hard nodular hepatomegaly and a hard, fixed left su...
متن کاملSentinel Node Mapping in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Using an Intraoperative Radiotracer Technique
Objective(s): Lymph node metastases are the most significant prognostic factor in localized non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Identification of the first nodal drainage site (sentinel node) may improve detection of metastatic nodes. Extended surgeries, such as lobectomy or pneumonectomy with lymph node dissection, are among the therapeutic options of higher acceptab...
متن کاملThe need for skin pen marking for sentinel lymph node biopsy: A comparative study
Introduction: There is a consensus in the literature that sentinel lymph node biopsy is the standard procedure for axillary staging in early stage (I and II) breast cancer patients. Usually during lymphoscintigraphy, the location of the sentinel lymph node is marked on the skin by an indelible ink. In this study we evaluated this issue in our patients. Methods: 40 ...
متن کاملShortcut Node Classification for Membrane Residue Curve Maps
comNode classification within Membrane Residue Curves (M-RCMs) currently hinges on Lyapunov’s Theorem and therefore the computation of mathematically complex eigenvalues. This paper presents an alternative criterion for the classification of nodes within M-RCMs based on the total membrane flux at node compositions. This paper demonstrates that for a system exhibiting simple permeation behaviour...
