objectives: epithelial-mesenchymal transition (emt) is a fundamental stage in cancer metastasis and the presence of vascular invasion is a strong indication of the spread of the malignant tumor cells. regulation of the emt is a complex process in which several different transcription factors are involved. eomesodermin (eomes) as a member of the t-box gene family is an important component in the...

This work presents a practical system for indexing terms and relations from French radiology reports, called IMAIOS. In this paper, we present how semantic relations (causes, consequences, symptoms, locations, parts...) between medical terms can be extracted. For this purpose, we handcrafted some linguistic patterns from on a subset of our radiology report corpora. As semantic patterns (de (of)...

We present a case of a 34-year-old female who had a rapidly enlarging right breast mass. Biopsy results were consistent with a neuroblastic neoplasm of the breast. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy for a neuroblastoma was performed followed by a modified radical mastectomy was performed. Final pathology revealed small foci of poorly differentiated carcinoma randomly distributed within extensive areas of...

Metastasis into a thyroid neoplasm-tumor-to-tumor metastasis-is exceedingly rare. We describe the 28th documented case of a tumor metastatic to a thyroid neoplasm and review the literature on tumor-to-tumor metastasis involving a thyroid neoplasm as recipient. All cases showed a recipient thyroid neoplasm with an abrupt transition to a morphologically distinct neoplasm. Metastasis into primary ...

Clear-cell hidradenocarcinomas are extremely uncommon sweat gland tumors with a predilection for the head and neck. In limited number of articles reporting breast involvement, primary focus concerns this entity's histological immunohistochemical characteristics. Since have potential to resemble carcinoma closely, diagnosis may be challenging. Therefore, authors report first case hidradenocarcin...

The association of granuloma annulare and some neoplasms is controversial. However, there is an increase in the number of case reports and relevant studies supporting the conceptof granuloma annulare being associated with certain types of hematologic neoplasms and solid tumors.Herein, we describe a 54-year-old woman with a 20-month history of generalized annular lesions that did not respond to ...

Lymphoma is a rare neoplasm in the breast. In this location, it may be primary or secondary, depending on whether there is lymphoma elsewhere in the body. The most common presentation of breast lymphoma is a painless palpable mass, indistinguishable from that of breast carcinoma, although the treatment regimens for these two neoplasms differ vastly. Knowledge of the varied mammographic and sono...

Glycogen rich clear cell carcinoma of the breast is a rare neoplasm with different morphological characteristics to ordinary breast carcinomas. However, it has some common features with clear cell carcinomas of other organs. This report describes a case of clear cell carcinoma of the breast with a solid papillary pattern centrally localised in the left breast of a 45 year old woman. Antibodies ...
