A 72-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with a solitary right lung nodule. She had no symptoms and no abnormal physical findings except for bladder cancer. Tumor markers were mildly elevated but no other abnormal laboratory data were found. The nodule was diagnosed to be pulmonary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma on computed tomography-guided needle biopsy. Thereafter, she fi...

Sister Mary Joseph's nodule is sometimes the first sign of an internal malignancy, including gastrointestinal, gynecological, or malignancy of unknown primary. It is rarely the sole presentation of a primary peritoneal cancer. In this report, we present the case of a 70-year-old female with umbilical drainage and a computed tomography scan consistent with solitary umbilical nodule. Excision of ...

BA: bacillary angiomatosis CEAN: cutaneous epithelioid angiomatous nodule EH: epithelioid hemangioma KS: Kaposi sarcoma PyG: pyogenic granuloma INTRODUCTION Cutaneous epithelioid angiomatous nodule (CEAN) is a recently described rare vascular proliferation. Although this neoplasm is more commonly reported as a solitary papule or nodule on the trunk or extremities, eruptive patterns have been re...

We report a case of immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related lung disease presenting as a solitary pulmonary nodule with an irregular margin on computed tomography. The nodule showed a high standardized uptake value on positron emission tomography. A malignant pulmonary tumour could not be excluded. Middle lobectomy was performed. Histological analysis revealed marked lymphoplasmacytic infiltration and...

Although the solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) is a common presentation of lung cancer, most SPNs are benign. The challenge in evaluating SPNs is to avoid invasive procedures in patients who have benign nodules, without allowing potentially curable bronchogenic carcinomas the time to progress to more advanced or even unresectable disease. Various approaches include assessment of nodule morphology...

Solitary primary amyloid nodule of the lung is rare. Only eight cases have been reported. Our patient was a 66-year-old retired furnaceman Who had an asymptomatic, smooth, round shadow in the right lower lobe, discovered accidentally on routine chest radiography. Right lower lobectomy was performed and a firm round nodule was found in the lateral basal segment. Its cut surface had a yellow-grey...

Background. Pemphigus vulgaris is an autoimmune vesiculobullous disease, affecting the skin and mucous membranes. It is reported to be associated with other autoimmune diseases including autoimmune thyroid diseases. However we report herein a case of pemphigus vulgaris associated with autonomous toxic nodule. Case Presentation. A 51-year-old woman was evaluated for blisters and erosions that de...

It has been detected that the absence of thickening of isthmus and the solid nature of nodules, both had statistical significance in regard to predictivity of suspicious nodules. Although not statistically significant, there were differences in favour of malignancy between the groups when any of the parameters of solitary nodule, solid nature, loss of perinodular halo, hypoechoic nodule, and la...
