We report a patient with a rare primary signet-ring cell carcinoma of the transverse colon with secondary leptomeningeal carcinomatosis. The only presenting and persistent symptom was worsening headache for 6 weeks until death. There were no other neurological, constitutional, or gastrointestinal
BACKGROUND
Subdural effusion in the setting of dural metastasis is very rare and may be difficult to be distinguished from chronic subdural hematoma.
METHODS
A 44-year old woman with gastric adenocarcinoma was presented with headache and a hypodense subdural collection in right fronto-parietal in
Metastatic subdural hematoma with dural metastasis in the setting of an underlying malignancy is a rare condition that is difficult to diagnose and associated with a poor prognosis. Knowledge of this rare entity is of a paramount importance to neurosurgeons, as its diagnosis may affect BACKGROUND
Headaches have been reported as a potential side effect of capecitabine therapy. However, severe limiting headaches are rarely experienced in this setting and no known therapy has been described for such a serious side effect.
RESULTS
We report the case of a patient treated with
We report the first case of hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the skull base, as well as the first reported case in the head and neck region. Hepatoid adenocarcinoma is a rare, aggressive, extrahepatic malignancy with a distinct morphological similarity to hepatocellular carcinoma, in the absence of
Background: Brain radiotherapy is the standard treatment option for multiple brain metastases (BMs) from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), especially in the absence of a driver mutation. However, the prognosis for such patients remains poor. Apatinib is a potent antiangiogenic compound
Gastric adenocarcinoma is rarely observed in patients under the age of 40. Meningeal carcinomatosis as a first manifestation of disease is absolutely unique. If meningeal involvement occurs it is usually secondary event in previously diagnosed tumor. The prognosis is very unfavorable associated with
We created a vaccine in which irradiated allogeneic lung adenocarcinoma cells are combined with a bystander K562 cell line transfected with hCD40L and hGM-CSF. By recruiting and activating dendritic cells, we hypothesized that the vaccine would induce tumor regression in metastatic lung
BACKGROUND
Pituitary metastasis of lung cancer is rare; however, it often causes diabetes insipidus. Although the majority of such patients are treated with radiation therapy, it remains unclear whether diabetes insipidus can be controlled by radiation therapy.
METHODS
A 72-year-old man was admitted
A 69-year-old woman presented with headache. Her chest radiograph and computed tomographic scans showed a mass shadow causing superior vena cava syndrome. Bronchofiberscopic examination was nonproductive. The serum value of carcinoembryonic antigen was highly elevated, so we made a presumed
A 36-year-old man who complained of bloody sputum showed a mass-like shadow in the right upper lung field on chest X-ray, which was diagnosed as adenocarcinoma by sputum cytology in August, 1990. Since his clinical stage was too advanced for curative operation, chemotherapy was started on October 1,
Periampullary carcinoma includes neoplasms arising from head of pancreas, distal common bile duct, duodenum and ampulla of Vater. We report a case of a 41-year-old male, medically free who presented to our hospital as a case of obstructive jaundice, weight loss, headache and blurred vision. Clinical
Pituitary metastasis is rare, and it is the least common site of intracranial metastases. It is mostly asymptomatic but can present with diabetes insipidus, headache, ophthalmoplegia, visual disturbance and anterior pituitary dysfunction and in majority of cases patients known to have BACKGROUND Signet ring cell (SRC) gastric adenocarcinoma is an aggressive histotype associated with poor prognosis, especially in advanced gastric cancer. Dural metastasis is rarely described in the literature, and clinical manifestations are generally related to subdural hematoma. Here we present a
Endovascular embolization of the middle meningeal artery (MMA) is effective for recurrent chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH). CSDH associated with dural metastasis is generally refractory to burr hole surgery and has poor prognosis even if any interventions are applied. To the best of
