The present study was conducted to evaluate clinicopathologically 26 patients whose primary colorectal carcinoma and resulting pulmonary metastatic tumors had been resected, and to determine the relationship between tumor progress and prognosis by PCNA immunostaining. Patients with solitary pulmonary metastasis were found to have much better prognoses than those with multiple metastasis. There ...

Fourteen patients with known primary colorectal adenocarcinoma underwent pulmonary resection for its pulmonary metasoasis. The cumurative survival rate at five years was 25.7% in all patients and 37.5% in 9 patients with a solitary metastasis. One of two patients with both pulmonary and hepatic metastases survived 33 months with no evidence of recurrence after pulmonary and hepatic resection. A...

Background. Pulmonary blastoma is a rare lung tumor similar to fetal lung tissues. Surgical resection at early stage is more curative than other treatments, but there is no standard treatment in unresectable cases. We show a case treated with carboplatin and paclitaxel plus bevacizumab. Case. A 68-year-old man received surgical resection and was diagnosed with biphasic pulmonary blastoma (pT3N0...

Chondrosarcomas are the most frequently occurring primary malignant chest wall tumors. Furthermore, the lungs serve as the most frequent sites for metastases. Pulmonary metastases from sarcomas usually appear as round nodules of varying sizes on roentgenograms. Here, we report an unusual clinical and radiographic presentation of pulmonary metastasis from a costal chondrosarcoma. Bilateral pulmo...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate outcomes in uterine cancer patients undergoing pulmonary metastasectomy and prognostic factors associated with survival after the procedure. METHODS A retrospective study was performed in 29 uterine cancer patients who underwent surgical resection of pulmonary metastatic lesions at Samsung Medical Center between June 1995 and December 2011. ...

OBJECTIVES This study was conducted to investigate the prognostic factors of pulmonary metastases, focusing on the time of detection of pulmonary metastases related to adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). METHODS Between June 2003 and December 2010, 84 patients underwent pulmonary metastasectomy for pulmonary metastasis (PM) from CRC. The clinicopathological data of...

18F-fluorodeoxyglucose ([18F]-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is a useful functional image technique to evaluate the disease extent in many cancers, as well differentiate benign from malignant metastasis. We report case of 49-year-old woman with breast cancer and suspected lung metastasis by conventional images. After FDG-PET/CT demonstrating faint, or even no FDG...

this case series reports 100 patients with lung cancer and their presenting neurologic symptoms and sings. 78% of patients were maleand 22% were female. mean age was 62±1.04 years with a peak age between 65 and 75 years. most patients presented with pulmonary problems (58%) and neurologic deficits as the presenting manifestations were found to be 30% along with pulmonary symptoms and 12% laking...

ABSTRACT Among the diseases that cause dyspnea in felines, primary pulmonary neoplasia is rare and tends to affect senile cats. This study reports case of a seven teen year old FeLV infected cat who was diagnosed acinar adenocarcinoma lung kidney metastasis. It presented prostration anorexia hospitalized with pleural effusion. Chest radiography indicated increased radiopacity cranial portion ri...
