Introduction: There is a consensus in the literature that sentinel lymph node biopsy is the standard procedure for axillary staging in early stage (I and II) breast cancer patients. Usually during lymphoscintigraphy, the location of the sentinel lymph node is marked on the skin by an indelible ink. In this study we evaluated this issue in our patients. Methods: 40 ...

Mucinous carcinoma of the breast is one of the rarer forms of intramammary cancer, often presenting as a lobulated, fairly well circumscribed mass on mammography, sonography, and gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging. It accounts for 1% to 7% of all breast cancers and generally carries a better prognosis than other types of malignant breast cancers. Metastatic disease occurs at a lower...

background: breast conservation therapy (bct) is the standard of care for early stage breast cancer. the procedure can be a challenge for the surgeon if the lesion is non-palpable. for excision of non-palpable breast lesions, they should be localized precisely before surgery. there are different techniques such as the wgl (wire guided localization), roll (radio-guided occult lesion localization...

The objective of the present study was to determine whether there was an association between the in vitroantimicrobial sensitivity test results of subclinical mastitis pathogensand bacteriological cure following intramammary treatment using a combination of nafcillin, penicillin, and streptomycin (NPS). Eighty-six intramammary pathogens from 43 cows were examined inthis study. Most intramammary...

background: in this study we evaluated the prognostic impact of metastatic lymph node ratio (mlr) in patients with gastric cancer undergoing curative surgical resection. methods: a total of 121 patients with gastric adenocarcinoma undergoing curative r0 surgical resection in our institutions between 2003 and 2010 were included in this study.  mlr was classified into 3 groups as follows: mlr0; 0...

Introduction: To assess the rate of cervical lymph node involvement in patients with supraglottic squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) with no lymph node in clinical assessments and radiological studies. Materials and Methods: Fifty-six patients who underwent elective dissection of the cervical lymph node of the second through fourth level were enrolled, and pathologic evaluation of the dissected lymp...

meningioma is usually a benign central nervous system (cns) tumor. metastasis is rare; however if it does occur the most metastatic sites are the liver and lungs. here, two cases of cns meningioma with metastasis to cervical lymph nodes are reported. the first case, a 48 year-old man developed cervical lymph node metastasis nine years after primary tumor diagnosis. the second case, a 23 year-ol...
