1/39. Salivary duct carcinoma of the larynx: report of a rare case.Salivary duct carcinomas are primarily high-grade, aggressive malignancies that affect men in the fifth and sixth decades of life. These tumors are usually found in the major salivary glands; rarely do they originate in the minor salivary glands. The distinctive feature of these neoplasms is their remarkable histologic resemblance to infiltrating ductal carcinomas of the mammary gland; both types of tumor feature epithelial and myoepithelial cells arrayed in solid, papillary, and cribriform patterns. To the best of our knowledge, only one case of a primary salivary duct carcinoma of the larynx has been previously reported. In this article, we describe a new case, and we review the literature on salivary duct carcinomas.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/39. Drug-induced sweat gland necrosis in a non-comatose patient: a case presentation.BACKGROUND: coma-induced bullae and sweat gland necrosis is a rare clinicopathological entity often associated with drug-induced coma. SUBJECT: We report a case with clinical and histopathologic findings characteristic of blisters and sweat gland necrosis occurring in a non-comatose patient. CONCLUSIONS: skin blisters with underlying sweat gland necrosis is an entity previously reported to occur in comatose patients, our findings open new questions about the role of the drugs in the pathogenesis of those conditions.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2.3333333333333keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/39. Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma of the thymus resected using combined thoracoscopic and transcervical approaches.Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is a low-grade variant of B cell lymphoma that arises in extranodal tissue of the gastrointestinal tract, lung, salivary gland, thyroid, or other organ derived from the foregut. However, MALT lymphoma in the thymus is extremely rare. We report a case of thymic MALT lymphoma, extending to the neck, resected using combined thoracoscopic and transcervical approaches. To the best of our knowledge, thoracoscopic management of MALT lymphoma in the thymus has not previous been reported.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.33333333333333keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/39. A rare case of pulmonary bronchogenic cyst associated with bronchial atresia in the same lobe.A rare case of 49-year-old woman having pulmonary bronchogenic cyst associated with bronchial atresia in the same lobe was presented. The diagnosis was confirmed by aortography and operation specimen. Three-dimensional reconstructed images of computed tomography clearly demonstrated the defference between mucoid impaction of bronchial trees in the left S9 not communicating with hilar bronchus and the cyst in the left S10 oppressing surrounding vessels.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.16625626081144keywords = lobe (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/39. Pulmonary inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor invading the left atrium.Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor is a rare solid tumor that most often affects children and young adults. Although benign, the tumor may be very aggressive locally. We describe a 9-year-old boy with primary inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of the left upper lobe involving the left atrium.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.033251252162288keywords = lobe (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/39. Suppurative thyroiditis with gas formation.Acute suppurative thyroiditis with gas formation is very rare. A 70-year-old woman was admitted with dysphagia and fever. The clinical diagnosis of acute thyroiditis was supported by fine needle aspiration biopsy. X-ray examination showed gas collection within the soft tissue of the anterior neck and ultrasonography of the thyroid gland showed a cavity filled with thick liquid. The patient was treated with antibiotic therapy followed by thyroidectomy.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.33333333333333keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/39. lipomatosis of the parotid gland in children.Parotid lipomatosis is extremely rare in children. Only 4 cases have previously been reported in the English language medical literature. Surgical excision is frequently complicated by recurrence. We report, a fifth case, on a 5-month-old girl with rapidly progressive parotid lipomatosis. Emphasis is laid on the importance of preserving the unusually delicate tumor capsule to prevent tissue spillage and recurrence. The creation of an appropriate cleavage between the mass and the expanded skin with sparse subcutaneous fat, safeguarding the tumor capsule on one side and the skin blood supply on the other, represents a rewarding technical challenge.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.3333333333333keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/39. Basaloid carcinoma of the lung presenting concurrently with cutaneous metastasis.Basaloid carcinoma of the lung is a rarely occurring form of lung cancer morphologically resembling the basal cell carcinoma of the skin. Although various histologic types of lung cancers have metastasized to the skin, basaloid carcinoma of the lung that shows cutaneous metastasis has yet to be reported. A 48-year-old man was admitted to our pulmonology department with mild dyspnea and a solitary cutaneous mass on the left portion of his chin. Chest radiography and computed tomography of the thorax revealed an irregular infiltrative mass confined to the central portion of the left lower lobe bronchus, which is a compatible finding of primary lung cancer. Microscopically, both a cutaneous mass and fine-needle aspirate material in the lung revealed the identical findings of basaloid morphologic patterns.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.033251252162288keywords = lobe (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/39. Esophageal tuberculosis.Esophageal tuberculosis is a rare clinical entity even in adults. Esophageal tuberculosis, can be either primary or secondary, the former is less common as compared to the latter. The authors present a 14-year-old boy, who presented with vomiting, cough, low-grade fever and anorexia for two months. He had a positive mantoux with history of contact to tuberculosis. Upper GI scopy revealed an irregular ulcer in the mid esophagus and the biopsy was suggestive of tuberculosis. The CT scan of the chest showed consolidation left lower lobe with hilar and mediastinal adenopathy. He responded well to ATT.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.033251252162288keywords = lobe (Clic here for more details about this article) |

Intrapulmonary cystic benign teratoma: a case report and review of the literature.We describe a 41-year-old woman with a short history of retrosternal chest pain and non-productive cough due to a benign intrapulmonary teratoma originating from the left upper lobe. The clinical, CT features of this rare tumor are presented and the relevant literature is discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.033251252162288keywords = lobe (Clic here for more details about this article) |
