Introduction:Most metastatic lymph nodes from head and neck malignancy are solid. Cystic nodes are found in 33% - 61% of carcinomas arise from Waldeyer’s ring, of which only 1.8% - 8% originate are from the nasopharynx. Some cystic cervical metastases were initially presumed to be branchial cleft cyst. This case report aims to highlight the unusual presentation of cystic cervical metastasis sec...

background & objectives: colon cancer is currently of high incidence and mortality rate. identifying the factors influencing its prognosis can be very beneficial to its clinical treatment. recent studies have shown that lymph nodes ratio can be considered as an important prognostic factor. the aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of this factor on the prognosis of the patie...

We sought to evaluate the distribution pattern of lymph node (LN) metastasis and to indentify preoperative and surgical pathologic factors, which predict positive lymph nodes in patients with cervical carcinoma treated with radical hysterectomy and lymph node dissection (RHND). 365 patients with cervical carcinoma treated by RHND at a single cancer center from 1995 to 2005 were included. 87 pat...

I read the manuscript entitled “Case Report of An Open Neck Procedure Complication Associated with Laryngeal Mask Airway Use” by Subramaniam T et al. This is a valuable manuscript describing iatrogenic complications during level-2 cervical lymph node biopsy, in which the airway is managed with laryngeal mask airway (LMA). During the procedure, the surgeon realized that the mass was actually the...

introduction: in the current study we evaluated the incremental value of lateral pelvic lymphoscintigraphy imaging of endometrial or cervical cancer patients who underwent sentinel node mapping. methods: operable endometrial and cervical cancer patients without clinical or paraclinical evidence of lymph node involvement were included in the study. the day before surgery the patients were sent ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) in children with reactive hyperplasia of the cervical lymph nodes. METHODS This cross-sectional prospective study was conducted in Khartoum Children Emergency Hospital, Khartoum, Sudan between January 2010 and April 2011. Eighty children with cervical lymphadenopathy were selected using random sampling. Their lymph nod...

we report a case of a 68-year-old female who was a known case of diabetes mellitus and chronic liver disease and presented with complaints of dry cough and other constitutional symptoms since one month. during initial investigations, the patient was found to have peripheral blood eosinophilia. upon investigating further,the patient was found to have mediastinal lymphadenopathy and fine-needle a...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the expression of thymidylate synthase (TYMS) in the primary foci and metastatic lymph nodes of low-grade glioma, and to analyze the function of TYMS in the lymph node metastases from low-grade glioma. The study included 93 cases of surgically resected and pathologically confirmed low‐grade glioma, form patients treated at Huaihe Hospital of Henan...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the value of carbon nanoparticles in identifying sentinel lymph nodes in early-stage cervical cancer. METHODS From January 2014 to January 2016, 40 patients with cervical cancer stage IA2-IIA, based on the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) 2009 criteria, were included in this study. The normal cervix around the tumor was injected with a tota...
