We report a case of solitary primary leptomeningeal glioma. The mass was totally removed under awake surgery. Intraoperatively, no parenchymal involvement was noted. Histopathological study revealed a predominant anaplastic oligodendroglioma component and a focal anaplastic astrocytoma component, which was consistent with an anaplastic oligoastrocytoma. Adjuvant tomotherapy was followed and the...

primary breast lymphoma represents less than 1% of all primary breast malignancies and most primary breast lymphomas are of b-cell origin. the association of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (alk) negative anaplastic large cell lymphoma (alcl), a very rare form of primary breast lymphoma, with silicone-filled breast implants has been suggested and several case reports supported this proposal, especia...

case presentation herein, we reported a case of a 22-year-old woman diagnosed with erms, t1n0m0 stage, localized at the right vocal cord. tumor was successfully treated with a radical excision and selective neck dissection and followed-up for 5 years with no evidence of local recurrence. introduction although embryonal rhabdomyosarcomas (erms) represent the most common (50% - 60%) clinical form...

abstract inflammatory pseudotumour describes as a wide range of neoplastic and reactive lesions. one of the rare presentations of these tumors is found in the salpinx. this case report characterizes a thirty six year old woman with a history of left sided abdominal pain for a few months. further examinations revealed that she had a complex cyst in her left salpinx. the patient had normal levels...

radioiodine (1-131) is the treatment of choice in differentiated thyroid carcinoma. external radiotlierapy however, has it's own roie in these tumors. treatment of anaplastic thyroid carcinoma 1ms not acliieved any notahle success yet, though combined - modality regimens of radiotherapy and chemotherapy have sometimes shown significant results. in this paper the role of radiotlierapy and chemot...

Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma is an aggressive variant of thyroid cancer that in most cases arises from anaplastic transformation of terminally differentiated thyroid carcinomas. This process usually occurs in the thyroid or cervical lymph nodes. Anaplastic transformation in distant metastatic sites is exceedingly rare, only previously documented in a few case reports. We report a rare case of a...

AIMS To investigate whether CD30 expression is correlated with anaplastic morphology, and whether this correlated with a better survival in large cell B cell lymphomas, as has been described for T cell lymphomas. METHODS CD30 expression was investigated using frozen sections in a series of 146 large cell B cell lymphomas. Clinical data and follow up information were collected from 25 lymphoma...

Meningioma is the commonest primary intracranial tumor in adults, with majority being benign. Malignant meningioma exceedingly rare and carries a poor prognosis because of its tendency for local recurrence distant metastasis. We present case 53 years old male anaplastic malignant meningioma, which recurred after excision radiotherapy later metastasised to pleura, bones brain. Keywords: Metastat...

Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is one of the most aggressive malignancies that arise from transformation of pre-existing differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). However, the carcinogenic mechanism of anaplastic transformation remains unclear. We describe a case for huge goiter diagnosed as papillary thyroid carcinoma, which underwent thyroidectomy. The final histology showed anaplastic transforma...

We present an extremely rare case of a pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma of the true vocal fold. The histopathological diagnosis was confirmed by immunohistochemistry. The patient was treated with radical surgery including total laryngectomy and radical neck dissection followed by postoperative radiotherapy. The clinicopathologic features of this rare malignancy are discussed together with a review ...
