Esophageal Metastatic Sub-mucosal Lesion of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Diagnosed by EUS
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Esophageal metastatic lesions are rare particularly of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The majority of reported cases were diagnosed pot-mortem, only a few cases were identified by upper endoscopy. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has never been reported as a diagnostic tool for esophageal metastasis from HCC, nor has EUS-FNA ever been used for this purpose. We recently used both EUS and EUS-FNA to diagnose esophageal metastasis.

Metastatic Renal Cell Cancer to Thyroid Diagnosed by Endoscopic Ultrasound Guided Fine Needle Aspiration Technique
Medical literature about the role of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) in identifying thyroid lesions is limited. We present a case of secondary thyroid cancer from renal cell carcinoma (RCC) metastasis, diagnosed by thyroid EUS-fine needle aspiration (FNA) approach that was done for staging of esophageal adenocarcinoma, in a patient with 11-year history of complete right nephrectomy for RCC. An 81-y...
متن کاملEsophageal Metastatic Adenocarcinoma Diagnosed with Endoscopic Ultrasound
Metastasis to the esophagus from a distant primary cancer is a rare manifestation in a patient with a history of oncological disease presenting with obstructive upper gastrointestinal symptoms. Computed tomography of the thorax or esophagogastroduodenoscopy can be non-diagnostic as the disease tends to be submucosal. In such a situation, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) with fine needle aspiration (...
متن کاملPrimary Esophageal Intramural Squamous Cell Carcinoma Masquerading as a Submucosal Tumor: A Rare Presentation of a Common Disease
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is the commonest primary malignant esophageal tumor, which typically presents as endoscopically visible surface mucosal ulcerations, irregularities, or polyploidal masses. We here report a rare case of primary ESCC with completely intramural growth under a normal looking intact nondysplastic surface squamous epithelium disguising as a submucosal tumor. ...

history of panhypopituitarism necessitating hydrocortisone and levothyroxine supplementation underwent upper endoscopy because of heartburn, and an esophageal submucosal lesionwas detected. Surface biopsies were normal. Upper endoscopy was repeated at our institution and a 1-cm red-hued submucosal polypoid lesion was noted at 28 cm from the incisors (●" Fig. 1). Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS)...
متن کاملNasopharyngeal Carcinoma with Cystic Cervical Metastasis Masquerading as Branchial Cleft Cyst: A Potential Pitfall in Diagnosis and Management
Introduction:Most metastatic lymph nodes from head and neck malignancy are solid. Cystic nodes are found in 33% - 61% of carcinomas arise from Waldeyer’s ring, of which only 1.8% - 8% originate are from the nasopharynx. Some cystic cervical metastases were initially presumed to be branchial cleft cyst. This case report aims to highlight the unusual presentation of cystic cervical metastasis sec...
