The first surgical resection of single lung metastases was reported by Weinlechner in 1882. This metastatectomy was done for a discrete pulmonary metastases which was discovered during resection of a chest wall sarcoma (1). The patient died on the first day after surgery. One year later, Kronlein performed same operation successfully (2). During surgery of a recurrent sarcoma of the chest wall ...

Metastatic ovarian cancer is not an uncommon finding. Such tumors almost always originate from female genital tract, colon, stomach, or breast. Lung cancer is not a common origin of ovarian metastases. Of all metastatic ovarian tumors, approximately 0.3% arise from lung cancer. Ovarian torsion is not an uncommon finding, but ovarian torsion with cancer is rare. Here, we report a 44-year-old wom...

Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a rare clinical condition, where copious mucinous ascites accumulate in the peritoneal cavity due to dissemination of mucin-producing tumor. Because of this disseminating, yet nonmetastasizing, behavior, PMP attracts much interest from surgical oncologists in that aggressive locoregional therapy can give the opportunity of long survival and even cure. Although ex...

Abstract Background A rare cause of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a parathyroid carcinoma. Hypercalcemia with an elevated hormone (PTH) level seen in recurrent and metastasis disease cases often refractory to medical therapy, thus surgical resection recommended when possible. We performed debulking surgery for pleural dissemination cancer improvement symptoms patient hypercalcemia. Case...

In article number 2100152, Zhu, Yang, Jiang, and co-workers from Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital established a noninvasive assessment of lymph node metastasis (LNM) in lung adenocarcinoma (LAD) through the detection folate receptor-positive (FR+) circulating tumor cells (CTCs) methods. Preoperative FR+CTCs' showed good correlations with positive nodes (LNs) ratio LNs to removed LNs, having predicti...

OBJECTIVE Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant bone tumor. The long-term outcome is poor for patients with metastatic disease. METHODS From June 1989 to January 2008, 202 patients (128 males and 74 females) with high-grade osteosarcoma of the extremities were treated at our institution. Patients were divided into three groups depending on the time of identification of pulmonary m...

BackgroundAccurate clinical staging of tumors with a small solid portion is essential for developing an appropriate treatment plan. This study evaluated predictive factors lymph node (LN) metastasis in patients stage I part-solid lung adenocarcinoma.MethodsMedical records adenocarcinoma who underwent anatomic pulmonary resection systematic evaluation between January 2009 and June 2018 were retr...
