Thyroid-like follicular carcinoma of the kidney (TLFCK) is an extremely rare subtype of renal cell carcinoma with close resemblance to the well-differentiated thyroid follicular neoplasms. TLFCK has not been included in the 2004 World Health Organization (WHO) classification due to the limited data available. Only 27 cases have been reported in the literature to date. Herein, we report a unique...

Tumors in general metastasizing to the pituitary gland and skull base are a rare occurrence, comprising of 1-3% of all pituitary masses [1]. Moreover, breast and lung tumors are the commonest primary malignancies that result in pituitary gland metastasis, with a pituitary mass often being the first manifestation of an occult primary tumor [2]. HCC is a frequently occurring malignancy usually ma...

BACKGROUND The aim of this retrospective study was to report the prevalence and patterns of soft tissue (ST) metastasis detected with true whole-body (TWB) F-18 FDG PET/CT acquired from the top of the skull through the bottom of the feet and to compare such findings to that of the typically acquired skull-base to upper-thigh, thus limited whole-body (LWB) field of view (FOV). METHODS TWB FDG-...

BACKGROUND Follicular thyroid cancer (FTC) metastasizes most commonly to the lungs and non-cranial bones. Skull and skin are uncommon sites and usually manifest well after the diagnosis of primary malignancy. Metastasis to skull and skin as the presenting feature of FTC is infrequently reported in the literature. CASE PRESENTATION A 65-year-old Caucasian woman with a history of thyroid nodule...

Bone is the second most common site of metastasis in breast cancer and bone metastases usually occur in the advanced stages of the disease(1). Breast cancer metastases are usually multiple and frequently involve more than one organ site(2). Bone metastases are usually multiple, affecting the vertebral body and pelvis. They usually appear as lytic and blastic lesions(3). A single metastasis rare...

Neuroblastoma (NB) is considered one of the malignant tumors of the nervous system which originates from primordial neural crest cell and is known as the most common extra-cranial solid tumor in childhood. This tumor which is often intra-abdominal, metastases in various sites including the skull, long bones, liver, bone marrow and lymph nodes, but lung metastasis at initial diagnosis is rare (0...

Benign skull lesions are routinely encountered in clinical practice. The aim of this review is to describe the Computed tomography (CT) findings of solitary benign parietal lesions. Benign parietal bone lesions can exist in patients with history of cancer. Metastasis to the calvarium is rare compared to other sites in the body and primary skull tumors are even rarer. This is the second report o...
