endometrial cancer generally carries a good prognosis. endometrial carcinoma more frequently metastasizes to the pelvic and para-aortic nodes. visceral metastases usually occur in the vagina and ovaries. distant metastases involve lungs and occur as a terminal event. this case report describes vulvalar metastasis of endometrial cancer to the clitoris. metastatic tumors of the vulva are rare. mo...

Visceral hemangiosarcoma were analyzed at the Department of Veterinary Pathology Faculty Medicine, University Zagreb, over a 5-year period. From total 52 tumor masses in 31 dogs, histological growth patterns (cavernous, capillary or solid) and amount supporting stroma evaluated. Additionally, sections stained with toluidine blue for purpose mast cell detection their number was determined parenc...

Non-pulmonary visceral metastases, in bones, brain and liver, represent nearly the 10% of metastatic sites of advanced germ cell tumors and are associated with poor prognosis. This review article summarizes major evidences on the impact of different visceral sites on the prognosis, treatment and clinical outcome of patients with germ cell tumors. The clinic-biological mechanisms by which these ...

Breast cancer patients in rural Appalachia have a high prevalence of obesity and poverty, together with more triple-negative phenotypes. We reviewed clinical records for tumor receptor status and time to distant metastasis. Body mass index, tumor size, grade, nodal status, and receptor status were related to metastatic patterns. For 687 patients, 13.8% developed metastases to bone (n = 42) or v...

Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) syndrome is a rare neoplastic disorder characterized by central nervous system (CNS) and visceral tumors. We here present (68)Ga-labelled [1, 4, 7, 10-tetraazacyclododecane-1, 4, 7, 10-tetraacetic acid]-1-Nal3-Octreotide positron emission tomography computed tomography findings in a 52 year old female with VHL syndrome, demonstrating both CNS and visceral tumors.

there has been a highly significant increase in the number of patients with malignant mediastinal tumors in the last four decades. since these lesions are infrequently encountered and there are very few reports in iran concerning this issue, we performed this study to review our institutional experience of medias-tinal masses and to compare differences in the clinical spectrum between our study...

p63, a recently identified homologue of the p53 gene, is mainly expressed by basal and myoepithelial cells in skin. Others and we have shown the value of p63 in distinguishing primary adnexal tumors from visceral adenocarcinomas metastatic to skin. We now investigate the pattern of p63 expression in metastases from skin adnexal carcinomas and their cognate primaries and evaluate p63 expression ...

Solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura is one of the uncommon diseases. About 40% of solitary fibrous tumors of the pleura are of a visceral and peduncled type. Several visceral pleural tumors have motility. A proof of motility of the intrathoracic tumor is useful for preoperative diagnosis. We report a resected case of solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura presenting dry cough induced by postural...

Two spontaneous and three methylcholanthrene-induced lymphoid tumors in the anuran amphibian Xenopus laevis laevis were transferred into the dorsal lymph sac, abdominal cavity, or under the abdominal skin of 93 immature or adult animals of the same species. Eighty-eight gave positive results, 76 with the persistence of the tumor at the implantation site and 70 with the development of visceral t...
