Parotid gland metastasis of lung cancer is extremely rare, especially as the only metastatic site of lung adenocarcinoma, no case has been reported. We sum up the experiences of missed-diagnosis through analyzing the diagnosis and management process of a 66-year-old Chinese male patient retrospectively who presented with parotid gland metastases of lung adenocarcinoma and reviewed related liter...

The present study summarizes our experience in treating a patient with a suspected granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)-producing squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the lower gingiva, which is a rather rare entity. A 56-year-old woman underwent surgical excision of palate leukoplakia in 1996. In 2009, however, a leukoplakic superficial tumor was detected in the lower left gingiva, for wh...

Basal cell carcinoma (basalioma, BCC) is the most common skin cancer and the most common human malignancy in general, with a continuously increasing incidence. In most cases, BCC develops on chronically sun-exposed skin in elderly people, most commonly in the head and neck region. Besides chronic UV radiation, other risk factors for the development of BCC include sun bed use, family history of ...

OBJECTIVES Glioblastomas are aggressive primary brain cancers that are characterized by extensive infiltration into the brain and are highly resistant to treatment. Through mathematical modelling, we model the process of invasion and predict the relative importance of mechanisms contributing to malignant invasion. Clinically, we predict patterns of tumour recurrence following various modes of t...

Radiotherapy mainly involves treatment of patients with malignant tumors. Even with recognition of the risks of late skin injury, carcinogenesis, leukemogenesis, and genetic damage from all ionizing radiation; radiation therapy also continues to be accepted treatment for benign diseases. Before initiation, the quality of irradiation, total dose, overall time, underlying organs at risk, and shie...

INTRODUCTION Intra-operative electron beam radiotherapy (IOERT) is an alternative to dose escalation for the treatment of central nervous system tumors. The objective of this study was to describe the feasibility and long-term outcomes of IOERT in the treatment of primary and recurrent gliomas. MATERIALS AND METHODS From January 1992 through December 2002, all patients treated with IOERT at t...

Background. The parotid gland is an unusual site for metastatic disease and when metastasis occurs, it commonly originates from head and neck primaries. Spread from distant infraclavicular sites such as the breast, into the parotid, is even more unusual with very few cases reported in the literature.Case Report.We describe the case of a 65-year-old woman presenting for a rapidly enlarging right...

For some time hyperthermia, alone or in combination with radiotherapy or chemotherapy, has proved to be a promising method for treating several kinds of solid tumors. After intensive laboratory investigations a new device, based on a microwave source delivering local bladder hyperthermia together with intravesical mitomycin C chemotherapy has been clinically tested as a neoadjuvant approach in ...

Penile Mondor's disease is a rare condition characterized by sclerosing thrombophlebitis of the superficial dorsal penile vein. Usually its causes are benign, but it is also evident in cancer patients. We report the case of a 62-year-old man with a cT4 anal cancer (infiltration of corpora spongiosa and penile bulb), associated with extensive loco-regional lymphadenopathy, who developed painful ...
