the gastrointestinal stromal tumor (gist) is a rare mesenchymal tumor of gastrointestinal (gi) tract. this tumor has tendency to liver metastasis and peritoneal recurrence, however; the primarily lymph node involvement or metastasis is rare. here we reported a 17-years-old girl with multifocal gastric gist and multiple lymph node involvement at presentation and recurrence in celiac lymph nodes....

myxoid is a common type of liposarcoma. cardiac metastasis of sarcoma is a rare diagnosis. transthoracic echocardiography is a useful tool for beginning the diagnosis. curative resection of metastasis and then combination systemic chemotherapy for advanced disease is recommended. we report a 50 year old woman who presented with a cardiac metastasis of high grade round cell liposarcoma to right ...

Metastatic tumors account for 1% of all oral malignancies. Metastasis to jaw bones is common, particularly in the mandible, rare in the oral soft tissues, and account for only 0.1% of oral malignancies. The majority of metastatic cases (70%) reported in the literature have primary tumors located in the lung, breast, kidney, and colon. Metastasis is a biological complex process that involves det...

metastatic tumors to the heart unlike primary cardiac tumors are not rare. despite its frequency, cardiac metastasis is commonly detected only during autopsy as the symptoms of disseminated metastasis prevail over symptoms caused by cardiac metastasis and hence is overlooked most of the time. tumors more commonly found metastasizing to the heart are malignancies of lung, breast, esophagus, lymp...

objective(s): bonenavi, a computer-aided diagnostic system, is used in bone scintigraphy. this system provides the artificial neural network (ann) and bone scan index (bsi) values. ann is associated with the possibility of bone metastasis, while bsi is related to the amount of bone metastasis. the degree of uptake on bone scintigraphy can be affected by the type of bone metastasis. therefore, t...
