Background & objective: Introduction: First detection of any solid tumour as metastatic deposits in bone marrow directs clinicians to start searching for the primary tumour. Detection of bone marrow metastasis determines the stage of the malignancy, prognosis, mode of treatment, chemotherapeutic response and follow-up in case of relapse. The aim of the current...

Lymph node status is a key prognostic factor in penile squamous cell carcinoma. Recently, growing evidence indicates a multimodality approach consisting of neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by consolidation surgery improves the outcome of locally advanced penile cancer. Thus, accurate estimation of survival probability in node-positive penile cancer is critical for treatment decision making, co...

abstractwe are reporting a 43-year-old female breast cancer case with a solitary metastatic adenocarcinoma in clivus. this patient with a stage ii (t1n1m0) breast cancer history has been followed for 7 years.  modified radical mastectomy (mrm) and 6 courses chemotherapy with cmf (cyclophosphamide, metotrexate, 5fu) regimen were done for her at the time of diagnosis. also, she took tamoxifen twe...

We report a case of retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma in a 52-year-old woman, who developed local recurrence, pulmonary, hepatic, peritoneal, pancreatic, subcutaneous and intramuscular metastases two years after surgical resection of the primary tumor. Metastasis to the pancreas, subcutaneous or muscular tissue is very rare; however, presence of a lesion in these locations in a known case of leiom...

In 1975, Social Security beneficiaries were given the option of having their monthly benefit payments sent directly to their banks through an electronic funds transfer system. Since then, beneficiaries have been enrolling in this program in rapidly increasing numbers. At the end of 1976, fewer than 5 million beneficiaries--14 percent of the total--were enrolled in the program. By the end of 198...

A 59-year-old lady was referred for an open-access endoscopy with a history of dyspepsia. The endoscopy showed a 5 mm sessile nodule in the fundus of the stomach. The histology report suggested that this represented a metastatic deposit from renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Following this, a computerised tomography (CT) of the abdomen showed an 18 × 15 cm RCC. Here we provide a short review on gastr...

A metastatic deposit from renal cell carcinoma into the jejunal wall is a rare phenomenon. Among the frequent modes of presentation, bleeding, obstruction and unexplained anaemia are commonly seen. In addition to the conventional contrast studies and computerized tomography (CT), Capsule endoscopy is a useful diagnostic tool. Factors responsible for resistant behaviour of jejunal wall are still...

and humeri. It is therefore difficult to account for the occasional involvement of bones such as the patella, clavicle and scapula. The small size of the patella and its dense cancellous structure make the bone an unlikely site for a metastatic deposit. Joll (1923) suggested that trauma may determine the establishment of a circulating tumour embolus. In this case, however, there was no previous...
