Spontaneous primary medullary hemorrhage is a rare event. A 64-year-old man was admitted for sudden-onset vertigo and vomiting. His clinical features were similar to those of lateral medullary syndrome. The patient had no anticoagulant therapy, vascular malformation, or a caudal extension of a pontine hemorrhage. The patient had multiple hypertensive changes, including retinopathy, left ventric...

We report a case of synchronous bilateral breast cancer with ductal and medullary carcinoma. A 60-year-old woman presented with lesion in both breasts which were mammographically found two years ago. Ultrasonography proved two suspected masses in breasts. Fine needle cytology was performed and confirmed bilateral carcinoma but with different cytological findings. The cytological feature of the ...

Sexual dimorphism was found regarding the cortico-medullary volume ratio in human brains throughout the age range, without the need for statistical analysis. After measurement of the areas of the whole pallium, cerebral cortex and cerebral medullary substance in 10 mm thick slices with the help of an image-analyzer, the total volume of the brain was calculated by integrating the volumes of each...

This case report is the fourth case documented of a patient with synchronous Follicular, Papillary, and Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma. There have been several case series in the last two decades that include either concurrent papillary-medullary or follicular-medullary thyroid carcinoma, but only three cases documented for all three of these types of thyroid carcinomas occurring in the same patie...

Thymic epithelial cell lines (TECs) were established from newborn C57BL/6 mice. They were classified into two types (medullary and cortical TECs) by using the monoclonal antibody (Th-3) that recognizes the meshwork structure of thymic cortical epithelial cells. Antigen-presenting activity of each TEC was determined by using ovalbumin-specific, I-Ab-restricted helper T cell lines. It was demonst...

Medullary thyroid cancer is uncommon and patients typically present with advanced disease. Treatment options for patients with progressive, metastatic medullary thyroid cancer had been limited until recently. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors have garnered increasing interest in this subset of patients. The US Food and Drug Administration recently approved cabozantinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, af...

medullary fibres may be easily traced to the cerebellum. This, indeed, was known to the older anatomists, who called it " processus cerebelli ad medullam oblongatam." In its course upwards, it meets with a mass or ganglion called corpus dentatum, which contains much brown matter, and is considered by Dr. S. a preparatory apparatus, destined to increase the medullary filaments which enter it. Fr...

background the relationship between biomarkers and imaging features is important because imaging findings can predict molecular features. objectives to investigate the relationship between clinicopathologic and radiologic factors and the immunohistochemical (ihc) profiles associated with breast cancer. patients and methods from december 2004 to september 2013, 200 patients (mean age, 56 years; ...

Extra medullary plasmacytomas occurring as solitary (primary) tumours or secondary manifestations of multiple myeloma most often involve the upper airways and paranasal sinuses. The skull is one of the rarest sites of extra medullary plasmacytoma. Myelomatous deposits in dural reflections distant from the bony skull, i.e. tentorium and falx, are rarer, and probably result from dissection along ...

Isolated brainstem abscess, specifically, medullary abscess, is rare and often fatal. Diagnosis requires appropriate imaging and a high degree of clinical suspicion. Good outcomes are possible. A 69-year-old woman presented with an isolated medulla oblongata abscess that manifested as a syndrome of rapidly progressive multiple cranial nerve palsies and decreased level of consciousness. Microneu...
