Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate nodal irradiation with conventional three-field's technique. Materials and Methods: Fifty patients with breast cancer were enrolled in this study. Computed tomography scans in the supine treatment position were imported into a treatment planning system. Levels I-III axillary and supraclavicular nodes were identified and their depths to the a...

When assessing a patient with lung cancer, it is important to stage the tumor in order to determine prognosis and direct appropriate therapy. Although imaging findings, particularly with CT and PET, can suggest the correct tumor stage, imaging is imperfect in this regard; enlarged and/or hypermetabolic lymph nodes may require sampling for confirmation of presumed tumor stage. A major role for i...

castleman disease (cd) is a rare, lymphoproliferative disorder of uncertain etiology. we are reporting on two cases of castleman disease. both patients were female. this disease can be found wherever lymph nodes are present. we have reported two unusual cases of castleman disease. a 29- year old woman was referred for evaluation because of a cervical lymph node, weight loss and night sweats. th...

871 mesenteric lymph nodes taken from 110 native cattle from urmia slaughter-house with differentages were examined for linguatula serrata infection. the lymph nodes were studied based on their colourand consistency. 44% of the cattle were found positive for l. serrata infection. the number of parasitesisolated from each infected lymph node varied from 1 to 69 with a mean of 5.48. there were no...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) metastases in the mediastinum are rare, particularly under the arch of the aorta. The present study describes the case of a 30-year-old male patient who presented with back pain and hoarseness for 2 months due to lymph node metastasis of HCC. The patient had undergone right hepatic lobectomy for HCC 2 years prior and received transarterial chemoembolization 4 time...

The cervix is the lower aspect of the uterus. It is roughly cylindrical in shape, projects through the superior-anterior vaginal wall, and communicates with the vagina through the endocervical canal, which terminates in the external os located at the top of the vagina. Cancer of the cervix may originate from the mucosa of the surface of the cervix or from within the canal. Carcinoma of the uter...

We describe a 10-yr-old boy with T-lineage non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. He had a mediastinal mass, swollen supraclavicular lymph nodes, and pleural effusion. A supraclavicular lymph node biopsy under light microscopy showed a malignant lymphoma of diffuse lymphoblastic type. Most of the cells taken from the malignant pleural effusion expressed T cell-associated antigens such as Leu-1 and OKT 8. To c...

We report a case of esophageal carcinoma that showed extraosseous accumulation of 99mTc-MDP in lymph node metastases to the cervical and paracardial lymph nodes. There are few cases showing abnormal extraosseous accumulation of 99mTc-MDP in esophageal cancer lesion. The patient was a 53-year-old man with advanced esophageal cancer. Bone scintigraphy demonstrated extraosseous accumulations in le...

A case of paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma is presented. An 18-year-old male was admitted with the complaint of giant scrotal swelling and abdominal fullness on September 5, 1986. Left radical orchiectomy was performed with the pathologic diagnosis of alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. The tumor was paratesticular in location and had invaded a spermatic cord. Radiological examination showed a gross meta...
