There are few reported cases of endobronchial metastasis of pheochromocytoma literature. We present here a 56-year old woman who underwent left lower lobectomy of lung, following pneumonia with unresolved chest radiographs. Computed tomography showed a lobulated soft tissue mass, measuring, 38×27 mm, at the perivascular space of anterior mediastinum. The resected specimen, showed lobulated tumo...

Clivus is a rare location for metastasis. We report patient with lung cancer presented to us diplopia and headache. He was found have clival metastasis treated palliative radiation therapy clivus. Metastasis also differential be considered when patients present lesion.

background: this study detected osteopontin (opn) and matrix metalloproteinase-7 (mmp-7) expressions to explore the roles of opn and mmp-7 in the occurrence, progression, and prognosis of nonsmall cell lung cancer (nsclc). materials and methods: a retrospective study was conducted on nsclc tissues ( n = 152; case group) and adjacent nonneoplastic lung parenchyma (adjacent to tumor >5 cm; n = 15...

Fatty acid-binding protein (FABP) 5 is highly expressed in various types of tumors and strongly correlated with tumor growth, development, metastasis. However, it unclear how the expression FABP5 host affects progression. In this study, using a lung metastasis model mice, we found that FABP5-deficient mice were more susceptible to metastasis, which accompanied by infiltration lower frequency ac...
