A Case of a 5-mm Rectal Neuroendocrine Tumor（Grade 1）with Lymph Node Metastases

Management of sub-5 mm rectal carcinoids with lymph node metastases

Minute (<5 mm) and small (5-10 mm) rectal carcinoids discovered during colonoscopy are generally considered to be non-aggressive, and the management and surveillance of patients with this entity are usually limited. We present the case of a 61-year-old Chinese female with multiple sub-5 mm carcinoid tumours in the rectum without any computed tomography (CT) evidence of lymph node or distant met...

Rectal carcinoid tumor, 6 mm in diameter, with lymph node metastases.

Schwannoma In A Perigastric Lymph Node: A Rare Case Report

  Schwannomas are benign nerve sheath tumors that originate from any anatomical site. Most of the schwannomas are found in the head, neck or limbs. Schwannoma arising in a lymph node is extremely rare. We have found only four cases in the review of the literature. We experienced a case of intranodal schwannoma in a perigastric lymph node. A 72 year-old female underwent cholecystectomy due to ...

Predicting lymph node metastases in pT1 rectal cancer.

With the widespread introduction of population screening for colorectal cancer in Europe, the number of early rectal cancers is expected to increase. In the past, approximately 25 % of rectal cancers presented with early disease, defined as stage I disease. First, results from population screening in the UK demonstrate an increase to approximately 50 % stage I for screen-detected carcinomas. In...

Cryoablation of cardiophrenic angle lymph node metastases: a case report

BACKGROUND Cardiophrenic angle lymph node metastases are relatively rare. Surgical resection is the main treatment for cardiophrenic angle lymph node metastasis, but it is not always possible. CASE PRESENTATION Here, we report our initial experience with cryoablation of a cardiophrenic angle lymph node metastasis from liver cancer. As the cardiophrenic angle lymph node metastasis was located ...
