An Unusually Large Renal Cell Carcinoma Resection: a Gentle Giant
A 66 year-old had a mass from right kidney. Lung masses with spiculated margins were noted suggestive of metastases. Radical nephrectomy and right pulmonary metastasectomy in first stage followed by left metastasectomy four weeks later was done. Specimen was 17 x 16 x 15cm and weighed 5.018kg.

متن کاملThe Study for Diagnostic Value of β-Catenin Immunohistochemistry Marker in Distinction of Aggressive and Non-Aggressive Basal Cell Carcinoma
Background & Objective: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a common skin cancer arising from the basal layer of the epidermis and its appendages. They are locally invasive, aggressive, and destructive of skin and the surrounding structures. β-Catenin is a multifunctional protein located to the intracellular side of the cytoplasmic membrane coded by the CTNNB1 gene, which maps to chr...
متن کامل[Large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the lung].
Large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) is a neuroendocrine tumor comprising a subgroup of large cell carcinoma and is a type of lung cancer showing a neuroendocrine characteristic similar to that of small cell lung carcinoma In our institution, we started to diagnose LCNEC by immunostaining in 2002, and we herein report 9 patients diagnosed with LCNEC from January 2002 to May 2008. The ave...
متن کاملDIFFERENTIATION BETWEEN MORPHOLOGICALLY AGGRESSIVE AND NON-AGGRESSIVE BASAL CELL CARCINOMA BY AgNOR STAINING
Argyrophilic staining of nucleolar organizer regions (AgNOR) has been considered to be useful in the diagnosis and prognostic evaluation of different cutaneous tumors. In order to evaluate the role of the AgNOR technique in discriminating aggressive from non-aggressive basal cell carcinoma (BCC), paraffin-embedded histologic sections from 30 cases of aggressive BCC (BCC2) and 30 cases of n...
متن کاملHistological Transformation to Large Cell Neuroendocrine Carcinoma from Lung Adenocarcinoma Harboring an EGFR Mutation: An Autopsy Case Report
We herein report a 58-year-old Japanese woman who survived 14 years after surgery for lung adenocarcinoma harboring an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 19 deletion. She developed recurrence, for which she underwent multimodal therapy, including EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) administration. She ultimately died from a rapidly progressive right lung tumor that was resistant to E...
