Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD), also known as sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy, is a rare histiocytic disorder characterized by lymph node invasion and extranodal symptoms. The number of patients reported heretofore less than 1,000, it shows predilection to certain groups: younger age, African race, male sex. Herein, we report middle-aged Asian female who presented us single inflam...

METHODS We reviewed five patients with synovial sarcoma of the hand treated at our institutions from 1983 to 2013. The mean patient age at the time of diagnosis wa...

Abstract Objective: A significant proportion of patients undergoing breast-conserving surgery require re-excision for residual cancer. This study aims to determine the factors associated with tumor in breast conserving surgery, and evaluate follow-up results patients. Material Methods: Patients underwent a 6-year period were included this study. divided 2 groups; no (Group A), required B). who ...

Intracystic papillary carcinoma of the breast (IPC) is usually seen in postmenopausal elderly women. Its prognosis is much better than other type of breast tumors, and usually do not contain invasive components. Surgical excision with negative margins and axillary sentinel lymph node sampling is the recommended treatment. Two cases of intracystic papillary carcinoma of the breast that was treat...

BACKGROUND The spread of mammographic screening programs has allowed an increasing amount of early breast cancer diagnosis. A modern approach to non-palpable breast lesions requires an accurate intraoperative localization, in order to achieve a complete surgical resection. In addiction, the assessment of lymph node status is mandatory as it represents a major prognostic factor in these patients...

Abstract Background The diffuse sclerosing variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma is a rare pathologic entity. It characterized by tendency for rapid growth and higher incidence cervical lymph node distant metastases. We report an unusual presentation presented as single mass small size. Case experienced case in 30-year-old woman. preoperative findings on the cytology ultrasound were suggestive...

The use of local excision to treat T2 and NX rectal cancers is highly controversial as lymph node metastasis can occur in up to 28% of cases (123). The treatment of choice in these cases is therefore total mesorectal excision (124). An alternative proposed by the NCCN (23) and classifi ed as a category 2B recommendation (lower-level evidence and nonuniform consensus) is the administration of ch...

BACKGROUND Ultrasound (sonography, B-mode sonography, ultrasonography) examination improves the sensitivity in more than 25% compared to the clinical palpation, especially after surgery on the regional lymph node area. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the distribution of metastases during follow-up in the draining lymph node areas from the scar of primary to regional lymph nodes (head and neck, supracla...
