We report a case of an uncommon site of metastasis of a renal cell carcinoma. The most common sites of renal cell carcinoma metastasis are the lung, lymph nodes, liver, bone and adrenal glands; skeletal muscle metastasis is a rare occurrence. We report the case of a 75-year-old female who underwent a laparoscopic left radical nephrectomy for a renal neoplasm in 2011. The histological examinatio...

Skeletal muscle contains multiple cell types that work together to maintain tissue homeostasis. Among these, satellite cells (SC) and fibroadipogenic progenitors (FAPs) are the two main stem pools. Studies of these using animal models have shown importance interactions between in repair healthy muscle, degeneration dystrophic muscle. Due unavailability fresh patient biopsies, similar analysis h...

BACKGROUNDS Cancer metastasis to skeletal muscle is very rare. Lung cancer, renal cell carcinoma and malignant melanoma have been reported as the most frequent primary tumours. Diagnosis of muscle metastasis from other primary cancer sites is more than problematic. CASE In this paper we report a case of metastasis of colorectal cancer in a 44-year-old man who underwent left-sided hemicolectom...

Identification of extrahepatic metastases (EHM) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been paradoxically increasing due to an increase in the survival of HCC patients. However, metastasis of HCC to the skeletal muscle tissue is extremely rare. We describe a unique case of HCC metastasizing to the paravertebral muscle. A 55-year-old man with a history of hepatitis B cirrhosis underwent partial l...

A three-dimensional human neuromuscular tissue model that mimics the physically separated structures of motor neurons and skeletal muscle fibers is presented.

metastatic tumors to the heart unlike primary cardiac tumors are not rare. despite its frequency, cardiac metastasis is commonly detected only during autopsy as the symptoms of disseminated metastasis prevail over symptoms caused by cardiac metastasis and hence is overlooked most of the time. tumors more commonly found metastasizing to the heart are malignancies of lung, breast, esophagus, lymp...

Skeletal muscle is a vital tissue not only for maintaining posture and body movements but also energy metabolism in human body. highly plastic response to various stimuli, resistance exercise or anabolic hormones can increase mass, which termed “muscle hypertrophy”. Contrary, immobility, aging severe illness reduce atrophy”. Loss of skeletal mass associated with loss independent living, the mor...

We compared the ability to diagnose skeletal metastasis between serum prostate specific antigen (PSA), C-terminal propeptide of blood type I procollagen (PICP), and urine type I collagen-crosslinked N telopeptide (NTx) in prostate cancer patients. In sixty-nine patients with prostate cancer, bone scintigraphy was performed, and serum PSA and PICP and urine NTx were measured. The median level of...
