Pleomorphic Carcinoma of the Lung with High Serum Beta-human Chorionic Gonadotropin Level and Gynecomastia
Although gynecomastia is a well-defined paraneoplastic syndrome in patients with non-small cell lung cancer, the association with pleomorphic carcinoma has not been reported. A 50-yr-old man presented with bilateral gynecomastia and elevated serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (βhCG) level. Chest tomography showed a mass in the right middle lobe. Right middle lobectomy and mediastinal lymph...
متن کاملBeta-human Chorionic Gonadotropin-secreting Lung Adenocarcinoma.
Overexpression of beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) is frequently associated with germ cell tumours, especially choriocarcinoma. Ectopic secretion of β-hCG by non-small cell lung cancer is exceptional. We present an exceedingly rare case of pulmonary adenocarcinoma that secretes β-hCG. Our patient is a 62-year-old postmenopausal woman, a nonsmoker, who presented with a six-month history...
متن کاملExperimental Production of Gynecomastia with Chorionic Gonadotropin *
The male mammary glands often undergo hyperplasia in the presence of tumors associated with a high urinary excretion of chorionic gonadotropin. Included in this group are the chorioepitheliomas, both testiculari'3 and extragenital,"" and, more rarely, teratomas"' and seminomas""' of the testis. Although the histological and clinical features differ in each of these tumors, there is reason to be...
متن کاملSerum beta human chorionic gonadotropin levels and preeclampsia.
OBJECTIVE Preeclampsia is one of the most common complications of pregnancy. It is a trophoblastic disorder. Since human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is secreted by trophoblast, the purpose of the study was to determine the levels of beta (hCG) in preeclampsia and normal cases. METHODS This study was conducted on 40 term pregnant women with preeclampsia (case group) and 40 normal pregnant cas...
متن کاملQuantification of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin by Bovine Serum Albumin Nanoparticles
Background and Aims: Some nanoparticles can be used in immunoassays to increase sensitivity. This study aimed to evaluate a novel nano-immunoassay based on bovine serum albumin nanoparticles (BSA NPs). Materials and methods: At first, the nanostructure was synthesized, and then applied as a tag in the nano-immunoassay. Then the concentration of β-subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin ...
