OBJECTIVE
Phosphaturic mesenchymal tumour (PMT) is a rare, recently described neoplastic entity. It is characterized by distinct histological features, which often occur together with oncogenic osteomalacia. Recently, a novel FN1-FGFR1 gene fusion has been described in a subset of PMTs. The aim of
We describe a 39-year-old woman with metastatic breast cancer who had grade 4 epistaxis induced by bevacizumab. The patient visited our outpatient clinic with complaints of a lump in her right breast, fatigue, dyspnea, abdominal distention, appetite loss, and weight loss of 10 kg over 1 year. Liver
The advent of targeted therapies in the treatment of renal cancer has shown different types of lesions of the oral cavity, which appear to be specific to the drug classes used (mTOR inhibitors, anti-angiogenic agents and conventional cytotoxic drugs).

The case of a 66-year-old Thai woman who was treated at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital due to recurrent epistaxis for two years is presented. Her physical examination revealed a 0.7-cm tumor mass on the right nasal septum. A biopsy was subsequently done and the tissue was sent for pathological
Oncocytomas are rare tumours, usually occurring in the salivary glands, but may very occasionally occur in other sites. The authors present a skull base oncocytoma as a rare cause of spontaneous epistaxis. Following diagnosis through imaging and intranasal biopsy, the patient opted for annual
It is estimated that more than 60% of people have epistaxis in their lifetimes, and as such it is a common complaint encountered in emergency medicine. Although epistaxis is usually self-limited and benign, it can occasionally be a sign of serious underlying pathology. We report a case of epistaxis
The authors begin by recalling the various tumoral conditions responsible for severe epistaxis. They differentiate between: angiomas and pseudo-tumoral angiomatous formations, vascular or so-called vascular tumours and hypervascularized tumours. In an emergency, immediate tamponage is essential.
Prostate cancer is a common cancer, especially among elderly men. It is sometimes not diagnosed until it has metastasised. Disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC) can be the presenting manifestation of prostate cancer, and can present with bleeding (varying from isolated epistaxis to
A case of recurrent pituitary apoplexy is described in a 72-year-old man who initially presented with haemorrhage in a non-functioning pituitary adenoma. Five years later, he re-presented with a severe pituitary haemorrhage in an enlarging sellar mass invading both cavernous sinuses causing
Objectives Radiation-induced aneurysm is a rare complication for head and neck tumors. Only seven cases of an aneurysm after stereotactic radiosurgery and/or stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) have been described. We report two patients with a ruptured internal carotid artery (ICA) aneurysm presenting

A case is presented where a left jugulotympanic paraganglioma (JTP) extended to the nasopharynx and the patient presented with recurrent epistaxis. Although initial biopsy of an aural polyp had been suggestive of the diagnosis several years previously, the diagnosis was not confirmed until the
