We report a patient who was admitted to the department of medicine with palpitation, dyspnea and left flank pain, Chest X-ray revealed a mass in the left lung. The lesion was evaluated as a pulmonary tumor, with a high suspicion of malignancy. Intravenous urography, sonography, and CTscanning revealed a thoracic kidney at the location previously thought to be a lung mass. This is the firs...

Hydatid cyst is a parasitic disease that is endemic in Mediterranean areas, South America, North Africa, Australia, and Iran. Although the liver and lung are the most common involved organs, but the other organs in human body also can be involved by hydatid cyst. Chest wall involvement by hydatid cyst is a rare condition, which may be misdiagnosed as chest wall tumor in the endemic areas. Herei...

A 60-year-old male presented with dyspnea and chest pain. He was referred with massive bulky mass. A mass in the left lung was observed using chest X-ray (Figures 1).  A computed tomography scan of the chest showed a mass on the left lung with complete lung collapse Figures 2 (A, B). The needle biopsy was performed and the case was diagnosed with solitary fibro...

Background: Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the most common subtype of lung cancer, representing 40% all cases this tumor. Despite immense improvements in understanding molecular basis, diagnosis, and treatment LUAD, its recurrence rate still high.

Background: Inclusion of inhomogeneity corrections in intensity modulated small fields always makes conformal irradiation of lung tumor very complicated in accurate dose delivery.Objective: In the present study, the performance of five algorithms via Monte Carlo, Pencil Beam, Convolution, Fast Superposition and Superposition were evaluated in lung cancer Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy plannin...

the brain is a rare site for metastasis in most extracranial pediatric solid tumors, including wilm’s tumor. outcome for these patients are generally dismal. very few cases have been reported to have good survival even after therapy. this paper reports a case of stage iv wilm’s tumor with lung metastases in a patient who developed a solitary brain metastasis five months after completion of chem...

multipotent mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) are recently found to alter the tumor condition. however their exact role in tumor development is not yet fully unraveled. mscs were established to perform many of their actions through paracrine effect. thus investigation of msc secretome interaction with tumor cells may provide important information for scientists who are attempting to apply stem cell...

Background: Tumor spread through air spaces (STAS) is now recognized as tumor invasion. However, the association between STAS and procedure-specific outcomes (limited resection lobectomy) in patients with pathologic stage I lung adenocarcinoma (ADC) still under investigation.
