Bronchogenic carcinoma involving the thoracic wall

Late recurrent ovarian carcinoma metastatic to the thoracic wall.

Ovarian cancer is the second most common gynaecologic malignancy. Ovarian carcinomas typically metastasize to multiple sites via exfoliation, lymphatic spread or direct invasion. We present a rare case of a very late recurrence of ovarian carcinoma into the thoracic wall, heralded by thoracic pain in a patient otherwise disease-free for 23 years. This unusual and late presentation of an ovarian...

Primary Thoracic Wall Hydatid Cyst Extended to the Abdominal wall: A Case Report

Hydatid disease (HD) is an infectious disease caused by echinococcosis. Hydatid cyst (HC) most commonly invades the liver (60-70%) and the lungs (20-25%). However, other parts of the body and even unusual locations can be infected, mimicking a benign lesion that could be easily missed. Primary HC of the chest wall is extremely rare, even in countries where echinococcosis is endemic. We he...

Survival in Bronchogenic Carcinoma

COMMUNICATIONSTO THE EDITOR 901 dosis to activity and generalization of the disease seems distinct. Positive tonsillar specimens were fewer than had been reported, but even lower figures have been quoted. These differences might be due to differences in selecting patients, and taking and processing biopsies. In tonsillar specimens, granulomas were sparsely located. Therefore, in some of our cas...

Imaging bronchogenic carcinoma.

Imaging plays an integral role in diagnosing, staging, and following patients with lung cancer. Most lung tumors are detected on chest radiographs, but unfortunately, the majority of patients have advanced stage disease at presentation. There is a wide spectrum of radiologic manifestations of lung cancer, and recognition of these findings is essential for patient management. As we continue to u...
