In order to establish the diagnosis of hepatic tumors, hepatic venography was performed in 9 cases of primary hepatic tumors and in 17 cases of metastatic hepatic tumors. The deformity of the hepatic veins due to compression by tumors was observed in 42 per cent of the cases. Pathological anastomoses between the hepatic veins were seen in 41 per cent of the cases of metastatic tumors, but in no...

this report describes the case of a 56 year-old man with a history of diplopia. his brain imaging showed multiple lesions with a metastatic appearance, however all investigations to determine the primary source of malignancy were negative. the patient underwent a brain biopsy, which was positive for anaplastic astrocytoma, a rare tumor that should be considered in the differential diagnosis of ...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa radiation therapies are commonly used for malignant or metastatic brain tumors for curative and palliative use. the radiation-induced neurotoxicity includes both parenchymal and vascular damage. here we report the case of a 43-year-old woman who developed multiple sclerosis (ms) 9 months after she underwent the last session of radiotherapy for the d...

Tumors of the prostate or breast are particularly likely to metastasize to the bone, and early diagnosis of metastatic bone tumors is important for designing an effective treatment strategy. Imaging modalities for the detection of bone metastasis are limited, and radiation-based techniques are commonly used. Here, we investigated the efficacy of selective near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence detect...

Background The anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) protein has recently become a promising target in the treatment of non-small cell lung carcinomas(NSCLC) patients with ALK translocation because of the high response rates obtained with an ALK inhibitor. ALK translocations are present in approximately 3-5% of NSCLC patients. According to the literature, little information about the relationship of...

The entity known as pituitary carcinoma has been traditionally defined a tumor of adenohypophysial cells that metastasizes systemically or craniospinally independent the histological appearance lesion. Reported cases have clinically and histologically resembled their non-metastatic counterparts were classified adenomas; majority initially diagnosed adenomas, with progression spread, diagnosis w...

Introduction: Metastatic tumors of the temporal bone are extremely rare. Collet-Sicard syndrome is an uncommon condition characterized by unilateral palsy of the lower four cranial nerves. The clinical features of temporal bone metastasis are nonspecific and mimic infections such as chronic otitis media and mastoiditis.   Case Report: This report describes a rare case of metastatic adenocarcino...

Primary tumors in certain metastatic cases have potential dissemination mechanisms. However, they often lack the potential to colonize distant microenvironments, and consequently the disseminated cancer cells enter into a state of latency which can last for years. In order to investigate the metastatic colonization potential at the gene expression level, we compared such primary tumors with the...
