BACKGROUND Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in many Western countries and is the second-leading cause of cancer in men. More than 30% of men over the age of 50 will develop a malignant change in the prostate. Common sites of metastasis include bone and regional lymph nodes. CASE REPORT This is a case report of prostate cancer in an elderly man presenting with cough and cervica...

OBJECTIVE Primary thyroid lymphoma (PTL) is an uncommon thyroid malignancy. Despite the rarity of PTL, it is important to recognize PTL promptly because its management differs from that of all the other thyroid neoplasms. This study was designed to investigate the sonographic features of PTL. METHODS Twenty-seven pathologically confirmed PTLs were categorized into diffuse and non-diffuse type...

INTRODUCTION Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine malignancy; the most common type of thyroid cancer is papillary thyroid cancer which accounts for approximately 90% of all thyroid cancers. Previously defined prognostic factors of papillary thyroid cancer include age, gender, tumor size, extrathyroidal extension, and distant metastasis. Cervical lymph node metastases are very common in p...

BACKGROUND Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease is a very rare cause of benign lymphadenopathy affecting mainly young Asiatic females. Little is known about the causative agent of Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease; however, there are hypotheses of infectious, autoimmune, or hyperimmune background of the disease that have not yet been confirmed in the conducted studies. Frequent episodes of tonsillitis preceding the...

Background and Objective:The current study aimed at observing the cytomorphological patterns in patients presenting with enlarged cervical lymphnodes, diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC), their distribution with respect to age and gender, and determining the accuracy of FNAC as a diagnostic procedure incases with cervical lymphadenopathy.Methods:</...

After a detailed medical history had been taken along with clinical examination, excision biopsy of involved nodes was performed in patients with cervical lymphadenopathy. Biopsy of the deep cervical abscess was performed on the occasions when the cervical lymph nodes were either negative or uncertain and clinical suspicion was high for tuberculosis. Routine tests including complete blood count...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Some patients with Kawasaki disease (KD) present with fever and cervical lymphadenopathy alone. The purpose of this study was to characterize the clinical features of these unusual KD patients and determine whether this is a severe form of KD associated with increased risks of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) resistance and coronary artery lesions (CALs). SUBJECTS A...

Nasopharyngeal adenoid cystic carcinoma (NACC) is a rare malignancy with high local invasiveness. To date, there is no consensus on the imaging characteristics of NACC. To address this, we retrospectively reviewed 10 cases of NACC and summarized the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features. MR images of 10 patients with histologically validated NACC were reviewed by two experienced radiologist...

OBJECTIVE To review the pathology of lymph node disorders in adults with primary peripheral lymphadenopathy. METHODS A 20-year (1985-2004) retrospective study of lymph node biopsies at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital, Benin City, Nigeria. RESULTS Of the 427 lymph node biopsy specimens received, 238 (55.7%) were from males and 189 (44.3%) from females. Localized lymphadenopathy was...
