epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (ehe) is a rare neoplasm of vascular origin which arises preferentially in soft tissue and bone, and rarely in the liver. its vascular nature is confirmed by positive staining for factor viii-related antigen and other endothelial cell markers (cd31, cd34) in addition to the pathologic characteristics of well-developed basal lamina, pinocytotic vesicles, and, mor...

Primary hepatic angiosarcoma (PHA) is an exceedingly rare and aggressive neoplasm of mesenchymal origin. PHA makes a very small portion primary liver tumors conveys poor prognosis. Symptomatology can be vague often mimics hepatocellular carcinoma upon presentation. Diagnosis requires careful immunohistopathologic confirmation. We present case in patient with abdominal pain suspected underlying ...

Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a rare malignant neoplasm of the salivary gland. Salivary gland neoplasms constitute 3% cancers all sites, which, 10–15% are malignant. Though adenoid most common tumor submandibular, sublingual and minor glands, it accounts for only 15% parotid cancers. They generally slow-growing spread relentlessly to adjacent structures. Hematogenous more than lymphatic spread, s...

Biliary cystic tumors are rare neoplasms occurring in the liver and less frequently in the extrahepatic biliary system. Recently, biliary cystic tumors in the liver are thought to be divided into a biliary mucinous cystic neoplasm and intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct. We report a case of a large cystic tumor originating around the hepatic hilum which had luminal communication wit...

Purpose. To analyse perioperative and oncological outcomes of minimally invasive simultaneous resection of primary colorectal neoplasm with synchronous liver metastases. Methods. A Medline revision of the current published literature on laparoscopic and robotic-assisted combined colectomy with hepatectomy for synchronous liver metastatic colorectal neoplasm was performed until February 2015. Th...

conclusion the designed split-bolus mdct technique can be proposed alternatively to triphasic mdct and in a single-pass to pvp in the initial staging and in the follow-up respectively in oncologic patients. patients and methods we retrospectively analyzed the follow-up split-bolus 64-detector row ct protocol in 36 oncologic patients to characterize focal liver lesions. the split-bolus mdct prot...

BACKGROUND It is unclear whether there is a benefit to resection of primary gastrointestinal carcinoid neoplasm with hepatic metastases. We investigated whether primary tumor resection in this setting led to a significant difference in outcomes. METHODS A retrospective review of patients with abdominal carcinoid neoplasms between 1995 and 2006 was performed. Data collected on patients with pr...

Hepatic hemangiomas are the most frequently seen benign liver mass. However, exophytic hepatic hemangiomas, particularly pedunculated ones are very rare. They have various appearances that make the diagnosis difficult. We report a pedunculated hemangioma case which was misdiagnosed as gastrointestinal stromal tumor on computerized tomography scan. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed that the tu...

adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lung is a relatively rare, slow growing lung neoplasm. metastases outside the lung are uncommon. herein, we have reported the case of a patient who presented with a large mass in the right lower lobe of her lung. bronchial biopsy revealed features suggestive of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lung with a predominant cribriform architecture. ct abdomen showed feat...
