Cholangiocarcinoma with paraneoplastic dermatomyositis (DM) is extremely rare, and the whole body positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) finding of paraneoplastic DM is rarely reported. We report a 66-year-old woman with metastatic cholangiocarcinoma, initially presented with bilateral proximal muscle uptake on PET-CT without clinical muscle symptoms. The initial interpretati...

We report a rare case of a solitary adrenal metastasis from small cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder that was successfully treated with surgical resection. A 71-year-old man was suffering from bladder tamponade for hematuria. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a bladder tumor at the left wall. The patients underwent radical cystectomy. Histopathological results were obtained in small cell car...

Intranodal palisaded myofibroblastoma (IPM) is a kind of mesenchymal tumor with benign behaviour. The origin this differentiated smooth muscle cells and myofibroblasts. This rare entity differential diagnosis from malignant tumors important for clinicians pathologists. etiology has not been explained adequately. Age range between 2nd 8th decades the life it seen more frequently in males. Inguin...

Isolated muscle and bone metastases are rarely encountered in patients with testicular seminomas. In the present study, a patient who was admitted with pain, loss of motion, and swelling in the right leg 20 months following surgery for stage I seminoma was presented. Hypermetabolic lesion was detected in the right femoral muscle and bone via positron emission tomography. After the presence of m...

Cell fusion is involved in many critical developmental processes, including zygote formation and organogenesis of placenta, bone, and skeletal muscle. In adult tissues, cell fusion has been shown to play an active role in tissue regeneration and repair, and its frequency of occurrence is significantly increased during chronic inflammation. Fusion between tumor cells and normal cells, or among t...

In one case of sternal metastasis associated with necrotic osteomyelitis from breast carcinoma we performed subtotal sternotomy including adjacent structures. The resulting defect over the pericardium was reconstructed by the fibula, ribs and a myocutaneous flap of the latissimus dorsi muscle for protection and stability of the anterior chest wall after the operation. The usefulness of the myoc...

A 68 years old man with prostate carcinoma was referred for 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT scan because of recent significant rise of PSA. He complained of muscle weakness and fatigue, since 3 weeks before the scan, without dyspnea or shortness of breath. In his 68Ga-PSMA-611 PET/CT study, widespread skeletal metastasis, as well as liver involvement were noticed. Also, multiple bilatera...

Skeletal muscle metastasis is a very rare event in patients with oesophageal cancer. We herein report and discuss a case of a 65 years old man with history of gastro-esophageal reflux disease referred to our department for pyrosis associated to persistent low back pain. Oesophageal endoscopy and transesophageal endo-sonography showed a tumour localized in the lower third of the esophagus, histo...

Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNET) are uncommon pancreatic neoplasms, accounting for 1-2% of all pancreatic tumors. However, they have a better prognosis and long-term survival compared to exocrine pancreatic cancer. PNETs can be divided into functional or non-functional based upon whether or not they excrete active substances relevant to specific clinical syndromes. Skeletal muscle metast...
