The objective : to determine the indications and possibility of surgical treatment giant malignant intrathoracic tumors. Subjects Methods . authors presents their own experience 19 patients with Results. Overall resectability was 79% (15/19 patients). 4 underwent combined surgery: in 2 patients, tumor removed resection a part upper lobe lung; 1 patient had this left lung resected (pneumoectomy)...

Despite cardiac metastases are found in about 20% of cancer deaths, the presence of primary cardiac tumors is rare. Most primary tumors are benign, and malignant tumors comprise about 15%. We report a 21-year-old man with fever, dyspnea, and hemoptysis that was diagnosed with angiosarcoma of the right atrium and pulmonary metastasis. Patient was submitted to surgical tumor resection without adj...

Metastatic tumors from various organs are found in pulmonary tissue because of the unique anatomical function of the lungs as a filter for systemic venous return. A retrospective study of the clinical factors used to assess the prognosis of 80 patients who underwent resections of metastatic pulmonary tumors in our surgical department between September 1978 and December 2002 is presented. The ov...

In this article, it is aimed to review the radiological signs of unusual primary malignant tumors of the thorax. Radiological studies of 11 patients with histologic diagnosis of thoracic sarcomas were interpreted retrospectively. Tumors originated from the chest wall (n=3), mediastinum (n=4), and pulmonary parenchyma (n=4). Histopathologic diagnoses were fibrosarcoma (n=1), alveolar rhabdomyosa...

In metastatic colorectal cancers, tumor cells are disseminated prior to surgical resection of the primary tumor but remain dormant until proper colonization mechanisms are activated. To identify the colonization mechanisms of the metastatic tumors, we conducted a pairwise comparison between primary colorectal cancers and metastatic tumors (n=12 pa...

potent carcinogen capable of producing pulmonary tumors in 100 per cent of susceptible animals after a single injection (14, 19). Interest in urethan in our laboratory followed reports of its effects on bone marrow (18), and experimental evidence of its capacity to provide increased radioresistance in mice to x-radiation has been published (6). In the course of these and other experiments the q...

Pulmonary paragonimiasis is a relatively rare cause of lung disease revealing a wide variety of radiologic findings, such as air-space consolidation, nodules, and cysts. We describe here a case of pulmonary paragonimiasis in a 27-year-old woman who presented with a 2-month history of cough and sputum. Based on chest computed tomography (CT) scans and fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomogra...

Pulmonary blastomas are rare neoplasms typically occurring in patients of pediatric age, clinically characterized by fever, respiratory distress, and radiologic findings of a pulmonary cystic and/or solid mass with partial or complete obliteration of emithorax. Their behavior is aggressive and outcome is poor due to frequent relapses and metastases. The histological, immunohistochemical, and ul...
