Pulmonary Mucus Gland Adenomas: Are They Always of Endobronchial Localization?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mucus gland adenoma is an extremely rare benign lung tumor, presumed to arise from the bronchial mucus glands; it is a TTF-1 negative tumor, centrally located, causing the clinical manifestations of obstruction. We report a TTF-1 negative mucus gland adenoma, arising into the medial bronchopulmonary segment, lacking any relation to a bronchus.

Absent radiotracer uptake in thyroid gland in parathyroid scintigraphy with 99mTc-MIBI: A case report
Localization of 99mTc- hexakis-2-methoxyisobutylisonitrile (99mTc-MIBI) by parathyroid adenomas is well known, and this warrants MIBI scan to evaluate suspected parathyroid adenoma in primary hyperparathyroidism. Typically, the radionuclide concentrates in both the thyroid gland and parathyroid adenoma in early images, and later on delayed images washes out slowly from the...
متن کاملEndobronchial pleomorphic adenoma
Pleomorphic adenomas are the most common tumors of the salivary glands. Rarely, they occur as benign lesions in the lungs in both the central airways and the lung parenchyma. Herein, we present a case of a 60-year-old smoker who was incidentally found to have an endobronchial mass while undergoing evaluation for a lung nodule. During bronchoscopy, a smooth globular nodule was identified at the ...

The diagnosis of hyperparathyroidism rests on clinical and biochemical laboratory criteria. Once the diagnosis is established, it is the function of diagnostic imaging to pre-operatively find the suspected parathyroid adenoma. Traditionally, nuclear medicine techniques such as 99mTc-Sestamibi scan and ultrasound evaluation have been the mainstay in finding the neoplasm. However, results are not...
متن کاملBronchial mucous gland adenoma: A rare tumor.
Bronchial mucous gland adenoma (BMGA) is a very uncommon, benign entity, defined as a proliferation of seromucous glands in the bronchial lamina propria, without cellular atypia, usually arising in the proximal airways, with some rare reports of peripheral and endobronchial localization. BMGA does not have gender predilection, with mean age of 52 years, but rarely can present in children. A 50 ...
متن کاملParathyroid adenoma Localization
Background: Bilateral neck exploration is the gold standard for parathyroid adenoma localization in primary hyperparathyroidism. But surgeons do not have adequate experience for accurate surgical exploration and new methods are developed for surgery like unilateral exploration and minimally invasive surgery, thus, preoperative localization could reduces time and stress in surgical performance....
