results: among 11 patients who underwent surgery consisted of eight males and three females. their metastasis originated from testis tumors (n = 5), renal cell carcinoma (rcc; n = 4), bladder tumor (n = 1), and prostate cancer (n = 1). their mean age was 41.27 years (range, 21-67). the mean age of the patients with rcc and testis tumor at the time of diagnosing metastasis was 54 and 24.8 years,...

background: the beginning of metastasis poorly affects the prognosis of breast cancer patients. lung is the most frequent site of visceral metastasis, and the rate of recurrence is 10-30%. we have tried to find out if the routine chest x ray (cxr) could play a role for early detection of lung metastasis, during the prognosis of these patients. methods: the files of the breast cancer patients be...

BACKGROUND Few reports discuss the outcome of pulmonary metastasis after radical esophagectomy for esophageal cancer. To clarify the data from such cases, we conducted a retrospective study on the clinical outcome of patients who developed pulmonary metastasis after undergoing radical esophagectomy. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the prognosis and clinical outcome of 25 patients who deve...

pulmonary adenocarcinoma is one of the major types of lung cancers in which metastasis is not uncommon. hereby, we report a case of pulmonary adenocarcinoma with multiple muscular, cutaneous, pancreatic and peritoneal metastases. actually, all these features occurring in one patient makes it an extraordinary case. a rare anatomic variation, double inferior vena cava (ivcs), was another rare man...

Gestational trophoblastic tumor (GTT) most commonly follows a molar pregnancy. In fact, it can occur following gestational events such as induced or spontaneous abortion, ectopic pregnancy, and term pregnancy. In this study, we present the case of a patient with ectopic pregnancy who was treated with a single dose of methotrexate (MTX). The maximum titer of beta subunit of human chorionic gonad...

 Carcinosarcoma is a rare type of cancer that is composed of a mixture of sarcomatous and carcinomatous elements. Pulmonary carcinosarcoma has a 25% five-year survival rate with a prognosis poorer than other non-small cell lung carcinomas. Herein, we report a case of pulmonary carcinosarcoma and its 18F-FDG PET/CT findings. A 61-year-old male patient presented with brain symptoms, including hea...

We herein report the first case of pulmonary metastasis with lepidic growth that originated from cholangiocarcinoma. A 77-year-old man was admitted to our hospital due to exertional dyspnea and liver dysfunction. Computed tomography showed widespread infiltration and a ground-glass opacity in the lung and dilation of the intrahepatic bile duct. The pulmonary lesion progressed rapidly, and the p...

Giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) accounts for 5% of primary skeletal tumors. Although it is considered to be a benign lesion, there are still incidences of pulmonary metastasis. Pulmonary metastasis of GCTB may be affected by tumor grading and localization as well as the age, gender and overall health status of the patient. Patients with local recurrence are more likely to develop pulmonary meta...

perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (pecoma) is a rare mesenchymal tumor composed of immunohistochemically and histologically distinctive perivascular epithelioid cells. here, we report on the computed tomography (ct) and magnetic resonance imaging (mri) findings of ovarian pecoma with pulmonary metastasis. the tumor was visible as a multilocular hemorrhagic mass that encased the ovarian vessel...
