The Cytology of Subcutaneous Chest Wall Metastasis Originating from Bronchiolo- Alveolar Carcinoma
Authors
Abstract:
Bronchiolo-alveolar carcinoma with subcutaneous chest wall metastasis is a very rare presentation. A case of 36- year-old male with metastatic subcutaneous chest nodule of bronchiolo-alveolar carcinoma, diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology, is reported here. Cutaneous metastases are of diagnostic importance because they may be the first manifestation of an undiscovered internal malignancy and indicates a poor prognostic sign. Fine needle aspiration cytology plays an important role in the early diagnosis of subcutaneous metastasis and helps to differentiate from other subcutaneous nodules like skin adnexal lesions, soft tissue tumors and inflammatory lesions.

full textHamartoma Originating From The Chest Wall
Pulmonary localized hamartomas were first reported in 1906 by Hart(1). Hamartoma is the most common benign neoplasm to occur in the lung. Histologically, the lesions consist of a combination of cartilage, connective tissue, smooth muscle, fat, and respiratory epithelium. Malign transformation is rare (2,3). Pulmonary hamartomas occur more common in males. However, some authors reported male/fem...

Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC) is a histologically distinct form of pulmonary adenocarcinoma, accounting for 1 to 9% of all pulmonary neoplasms. Its radiological appearance includes nodular, pneumonic and diffuse patterns. The aim of the study is to report the different radiographic patterns of this neoplasm with particular emphasis on CT findings and those signs that may help in identifyin...

Introduction: Transitional cell carcinomas (TCC) of the upper urinary tract constitute only 7% of urothelial carcinomas. The majority of upper urinary tract TCC arises from the renal pelvis, followed by the ureter. The majority of the patients are presented with microscopic or macroscopic haematuria, flank pain, or symptoms due to metastasis; however, it can be asymptomatic in 10-15%. Case pre...

Hamartomas of the chest wall are rare benign lesions usually appear in infancy. We report an adult with giant hamartoma of the chest wall. A 21-year-old man was admitted to the hospital with swelling on his scapular region. An erythematous, swollen, and wide plaque formed mass lesion of 250 x 180 on the left scapular region was found in his physical examination. Thorax CT revealed a tumoral les...
