We studied the diagnostic value of Cdx2 to distinguish mucinous bronchioloalveolar carcinoma from mucinous colorectal adenocarcinoma metastatic to the lung. We retrieved 92 via the hospital computer system, including 30 mucinous bronchioloalveolar carcinomas, 32 nonmucinous bronchioloalveolar carcinomas, and 30 mucinous colorectal adenocarcinomas metastatic to the lung. All cases were confirmed...

BACKGROUND Metastatic carcinoma to the jaws and oral region are very rare, representing less than 1% of all oral tumors. Unfortunately, oral metastasis is usually manifestation of an advanced stage of primary cancer, and indicates widespread disease and poor prognosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS In this retrospective study, a total of 2039 patients with history of oral malignant tumor between 1980 ...

The authors describe the case of a 71-year-old female patient who initially went to dermatologist assess scalp skin tumor. This lesion was submitted an incisional biopsy, performed by herself, and result anatomopathological examination immunohistochemical study showed preliminary diagnosis metastasis breast carcinoma. had no history cancer and, in view this result, she referred consult with mas...

A woman with metastatic ovarian carcinoma developed postoperative respiratory failure due to interstitial lung metastases demonstrated by bronchoalveolar lavage. After chemotherapy, she was able to be removed from mechanical ventilation and has shown progressive resolution of her interstitial lung disease. Metastatic ovarian carcinoma can be a treatable etiology of life-threatening interstitial...

OBJECTIVES Managing urge-incontinence after metastatic lobular carcinoma of the breast into the bladder. MATERIAL AND METHODS Case report and review of the pertinent English language literature. RESULTS Conservative management with tamoxifen resulted in clinical and partial radiological remission and the urge-incontinence disappeared. CONCLUSION A conservative mode of treatment is possibl...

Metastatic prostatic carcinoma of the choroid became clinically undetectable after orchidectomy and oestrogen administration. The choroidal tumour rapidly regressed over a 2-month period and clinically disappeared, with restoration of 6/6 vision from 6/60 and return of visual field. This dramatic response and lack of complications make hormonal manipulation the preferred mode of initial therapy...

The skin can host metastatic tumors originating from different organs. We report a case of metastatic renal cell carcinoma to the scalp in a 73-year-old man with features very similar to those of thyroid papillary carcinoma. The histogenesis in relation to its structure is discussed.

Metastatic tumor involvement of the heart is uncommon but may occur with all types of primary neoplasms. We report the case of a 51-year-old male who developed a massive mass involving the upper right pulmonary vein. The tumor was removed and the final pathology report disclosed metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma. Hepatocellular carcinoma affecting the pulmonary veins is a very rare condition.

Cerebral extra-axial metastases mimicking meningioma are extremely rare. Imaging characterictics may not always differentiate between meningioma and metastatic tumors. A 68-year-old-woman who had been operated for renal cell carcinoma 20 years ago presented with new symptoms of an intracranial mass lesion. A large extra-axial convexity mass destroying the calvarium and dura was excised with Sim...

Survival in lymph or blood is an essential prerequisite for metastasis of carcinoma cells to distant organs. Recently, we reported isolation and initial biological characterization of circulating metastatic cells in a fluorescent, orthotopic, metastatic nude-mouse model of human prostate cancer. Here we show that the metastatic human prostate carcinoma cells selected for survival in the circula...
