we report a young male with an initial excisional biopsy report of melanoma of the lower back, referred to our hospital for complete excision and sentinel lymph node (sln) biopsy.  four peritumoral intradermal tc-99m phytate injection was performed and slns were detected in both axillary and right inguinal regions. on the biopsy only the right axillary sln was metastatic leading to right axilla...

clinically apparent cervical lymphadenopathy has been found at the initial presentation in 23 to 56 % of cases of papillary thyroid carcinoma. here we report tuberculous lymphadenitis mimicking metastatic lymph nodes from papillary thyroid carcinoma and suggest that tuberculosis apart from metastasis in papillary thyroid carcinoma should also be considered in the etiology of enlarged lymph node...

linguatula serrata, well known as tongue worm; is an aberrant cosmopolitan parasite, which inhabits the canine respiratory system (final host). the discharged eggs infect many plant feeder animals including human causing visceral and nasopharyngeal linguatulosis which is known as “marrara syndrome”. in current study, the prevalence of infection with l. serrata nymphs in mesenteric lymph nodes (...

Metastasis to the breast most commonly arises from a contralateral primary breast malignancy; however, metastatic disease can also result from extramammary malignancies by hematogenous or lymphatic dissemination. This case report reviews an unusual presentation of primary ovarian carcinoma with metastasis to an intramammary lymph node.

Objectives: Presence/absence of cervical lymph node metastasis plays a critical role in prognosis and survival of patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). This study was designed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of computed tomography (CT) scan for detection of cervical lymph node metastasis in oral SCC in comparison with histopathological analysis after neck dissection Methods: In...

We report on a 59-year-old female patient with an infected vascular graft investigated with 18F FDG-PET/CT. The first of two studies showed FDG activity in the left deltoid and ipsilateral axillary lymph nodes explained by influenza vaccination the day prior. The second 18F FDG-PET/CT showed multiple FDG-avid lymph nodes on both sides of the diaphragm without tracer accumulation at the vaccinat...

Background: The clinical presentation of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) varies tremendously depending upon the type of lymphoma and the areas of involvement. NHL can rarely present as an abdominal mass compressing the inferior vena cava. The clinical presentation due to obstruction of inferior vena cava has often been called the inferior vena cava syndrome (IVCS). It can present acutely or chronica...

BACKGROUND The first hours after antigen stimulation, interactions occur influencing the outcome of the immunological reaction. Immunoglobulins originate in blood and/or are locally synthesized. The transfer of Ig isotypes (Igs) in the udder has been studied previously but without the possibility to distinguish between the endothelium and the epithelium. The purpose of this study was to map the...

background: management of lymphedema is a challenging issue in surgery.  a variety of operations have been used, albeit with little success. objective: to investigate the efficacy of testicular patch as a lymphatic conduit. methods: an incision was made on the inguinal area of 10 dogs and all lymph nodes of inguinal area were excised. the tunica albuginea and parenchyma near the hilum of testes...
