Introduction: Cervical lymph node metastases from papillary thyroid cancer were classified into three categories according to ultrasound: 1) Metastases not visible on ultrasound; 2) met initial criteria for the diagnosis; 3) typical diagnosis. Purpose: To develop ultrasound diagnosis of cervical cancer. Material and methods: We studied groups nodes in patients with The first group consisted 430...

INTRODUCTION Miliary brain metastasis is an extremely rare form of brain metastasis which can present with atypical imaging findings. We report the case of a patient with miliary brain metastasis of lung cancer showing calcification in metastatic lesions. CASE PRESENTATION A 68-year-old Japanese woman was diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma. Brain computed tomography revealed multiple small ca...

The main objective of this retrospective review of clinical and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) data from 41 patients with intracranial tumors diagnosed between 1975 and 1989, is to report the role that the finding of neoplastic cells in CSF plays, specially when cerebral CT-scanning and MRI were not currently done. Another objective is to study the CSF proteic abnormalities in cerebral tumors. CSF c...

A woman aged 52 was treated with radioactive iodine for a papillary carcinoma of the thyroid. Four years later she developed signs and symptoms of an intracranial space occupying lesion. A computed tomographic scan showed a mass in the right posterior frontal region. Although she was suspected of having metastatic disease a definite diagnosis was not established until she died 6 months later wh...

Two hundred seventy-five cranial computed tomography (CT) scans performed on 179 patients with malignant melanoma were reviewed. Of the 101 patients with confirmed cerebral metastases, CT demonstrated lesions in 93. In 72% of these, areas of increased attenuation were present in the precontrast scan. These lesions also enhanced after contrast infusion. There was a direct correlation between the...

OBJECTIVE Epithelioid glioblastoma is a rare morphologic subtype of glioblastoma that closely mimics metastatic carcinoma or metastatic melanoma histologically. All previous case reports of this unusual glioblastoma variant have been solitary lesions. We report here the first case to our knowledge of multifocal epithelioid glioblastoma mimicking cerebral metastasis. CLINICAL PRESENTATION A 67...

Brain metastases arise in 10%-40% of all cancer patients. Up to one third of the patients do not have previous cancer history. We report a case of a 67-years-old male patient who presented with confusion, tremor, and apraxia. A brain MRI revealed an isolated right temporal lobe lesion. A thorax-abdomen-pelvis CT scan showed no primary lesion. The patient underwent a craniotomy with gross-total ...

The posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a well described entity of white matter pathology. PRES is triggered by numerous different factors such as acute elevated arterial hypertension, immunosupressive therapy, chemotherapy, etc. The case of a 67-year old woman is presented. The patient was treated for breast cancer 10 months ago and because of acute disorientation a magnetic...

A case of alveolar soft-part sarcoma with multiple cerebral metastases in addition to multiple lung and bone metastases is reported. This is a rare tumor which thus far has only been recognized as a malignant soft tissue tumor with great uncertainty. A 24-year-old man with a chief complaint of left frontal headache was admitted to our unit on September 26, 1994. A tumor of the right forearm had...
