Myeloid Sarcoma Presenting with Lateral Cervical Mass and Eosinophilia; a Diagnostic and Therapeutic Dilemma: Case Report
Myeloid sarcoma is a rare extramedullary tumor of immature myeloid cells. It has been very rarely reported as lateral cervical mass in English literature. Myeloid sarcoma has also been reported with marked eosinophilia. Here we present a 17 year old boy with lateral cervical mass and persistent eosinophilia. The mass was isointense in MRI and homogenously enhanced after contrast injection which...
متن کاملPseudoachalasia: a diagnostic challenge
Here, we present a case of a 78-year-old man that underwent gastrointestinal endoscopy because of one- monthhistory of dysphagia to liquids and solid foods with accompanying weight loss. On endoscopy, there was distalesophageal stenosis. Multiple biopsies were obtained. Histologic examination of the samples revealed normaltissue. The stenosis was treated by dilatation and abdomino pelvic comput...
متن کاملLaryngeal Paraganglioma: A Diagnostic Challenge
Paragangliomas are neoplasms of neural crest origin. In the head and neck, they uncommonly involve the larynx. The distinction between paragangliomas and other neuroendocrine tumors can be difficult. Precise diagnosis is important in order to optimize patient treatment. Diagnosis relies mostly on histopathologic examination followed by immunohistochemistry. Here we report a 77-year-old woman wi...
متن کاملParathyroid carcinoma: a diagnostic and treatment challenge
Parathyroid carcinoma (PC) is a rare endocrine tumor, accounting for less than 1% of primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) cases. The clinical presentation is often indistinguishable from other causes of pHPT, leading to a delay in diagnosis and less then optimal surgical management. Early enbloc surgical resection is the recommended surgical procedure, but because the diagnosis of PC is usually m...
متن کاملPrimary cardiac sarcoma: a novel treatment approach.
Primary cardiac sarcomas carry a dismal prognosis with no known curative therapy using standard treatment approaches. By its very location, the possibility of a radical complete resection--the underlying principle in the management of any soft-tissue sarcoma--is precluded. While literally in a continuous "blood bath," cardiac sarcomas are associated with a very high rate of hematogenous metasta...
