A patient with microscopic metastatic renal cell carcinoma within liver focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) is reported here. The initial CT scan was classic for liver FNH yet the following liver resection showed a microscopic metastatic renal cell carcinoma (0.48 cm) within the liver nodule. FNH in a patient with existing primary tumor probably warrants further investigation as the coexistence of ...

PURPOSE In the present study, we examined the expression of a multifunctional cytokine, interleukin 8 (IL-8), and its receptors, CXCR1 and CXCR2, in human colon carcinoma cells with different metastatic potentials and determined their role in modulating phenotypes associated with metastasis. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN IL-8, CXCR1, and CXCR2 protein and mRNA expression were examined using ELISA, immu...

Background: Metastatic carcinomas to the upper jaw region are very rare and unfortunately occur in advanced stages of malignancies. Pancoast tumor is a challenging subset of lung carcinoma commonly followed by distant metastasis. Since the metastatic lesion of our patient was very huge and unusual, we decided to report the case. Case Presentation: Our patient was a middle-aged heavy smoker mal...

EphA2 kinase regulates cell shape, adhesion, and motility and is frequently overexpressed in several cancers, including melanoma, prostate, breast, and colon cancers and lung carcinoma. Although a function in both tumor onset and metastasis has been proposed, the role played by EphA2 in tumor progression is still debated. In melanoma, EphA2 has been reported to affect cell migration and invasiv...

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 malignan...
