Primary cardiac tumors are rare. The commonest cardiac tumor is a metastatic deposit from primary malignancy elsewhere. Benign primary tumors constitute only a small proportion of all cardiac tumors. Depending on their location, cardiac tumors may interfere with cardiac contraction or cause obstruction to valvular flow. Others, located within the myocardium or attached to the atrial or ventricu...

Ameloblastoma is a common and easily diagnosed odontogenic tumor. When present with histologic atypia is crucial because transformation to ameloblastic carcinoma is potentially life-threatening. Ameloblastic carcinoma, the malignant counterpart of the ameloblastoma, a rare entity, is characterized histologically by malignant epithelium in the primary, recurrent, or metastatic deposit. It has a ...

A growing body of evidence suggests that successful clinical immunotherapy may depend on mutation-specific T cell responses. Using whole-exome and RNA sequencing of a resected metastatic deposit from a patient with triple-negative (ER-, PR-, Her2 non-amplified) breast cancer, we identified 72 non-synonymous mutations. Using previously published methods of autologous antigen presentation[1], we ...

Introduction: 18F-FDG PET/CT provides very effective results in detecting metastases of breast cancer. In our study, we investigated the relationship between maximum standard uptake value (SUVmax) and prognostic pathologic factors in breast cancer cases with isolated bone metastasis and whether there was any difference in terms of prognostic pathologic factors betwee...

BACKGROUND Axillary plexus blocks are usually guided by ultrasound, but alternative methods may be used when ultrasound equipment is lacking. For a nonultrasound-guided axillary block, the need for three injections has been questioned. OBJECTIVES Could differences in block success between single, double and triple deposits methods be explained by differences in local anaesthetic distribution ...

Zosteriform metastasis is a rare clinical distribution from spreading neoplasms of every organ to the skin. Tumors most often arise from a n internal o r hematologic malignancy. W e report a 69-year-old man, a known case of malignant melanoma of the left heel. In this case, multiple red-brown metastatic nodules appeared four months after diagnosis. Distribution of metastatic lesions resemb...

Dense deposit disease is caused by fluid-phase dysregulation of the alternative complement pathway and frequently deviates from the classic membranoproliferative pattern of injury on light microscopy. Other patterns of injury described for dense deposit disease include mesangioproliferative, acute proliferative/exudative, and crescentic GN. Regardless of the histologic pattern, C3 glomerulopath...

A 34-year-old woman presented with history of headaches, vomiting and progressive left hemiparesis for the last 3 months. CECT showed right frontal juxtaventricular, cystic lesion with an enhancing mural nodule and focal wall (Figure 1a). On MRI, the cyst was hypointense on T1WI (Figure 1b) and hyperintense onT2WI (Figure 1c) and suppressed on FLAIR sequence (Figure 1d). Per-operatively, a cyst...
