The compound CMB-401 is an immunoconjugate consisting of the monoclonal antibody (MAb) hCTM01 directed against polymorphic epithelial mucin covalently bound to the cytotoxic antibiotic calicheamicin by an amide linker. We evaluated CMB-401 as monotherapy for the treatment of recurrent
Two cases of aspergillosis of the paranasal sinuses are reported. The first case was a 30-year-old man who had a 5-month history of bilateral proptosis. Physical examination revealed nasal polyps in both middle meatus. A skin test for Aspergillus was positive. Laboratory study showed levels of serum
Cystic sellar salivary gland-like lesions (CSSLs) are exceedingly rare, with fewer than a dozen case reports. They contain amorphous colloid identical to Rathke cleft cyst contents, but the cyst wall additionally shows cohesive aggregates of benign salivary glands. We report three new Neuroenteric cysts of the CNS are uncommon benign lesions usually involving the spinal cord or rarely the cerebellopontine angle (CPA). We report a rare example of multiple neuroenteric cysts arising from the CPA and foramen magnum in a 20-year-old Caucasian woman who presented with headaches and
Neurenteric cysts are rare benign congenital tumors of endodermal origin that most commonly occur in the cervical and upper thoracic spine, with only about 10% to 18% of the reported cases occurring intracranially.1 A definitive preoperative diagnosis is complicated by the variable appearance of
BACKGROUND
Distant metastasis of mucinous adenocarcinoma from the gastrointestinal tract, ovaries, pancreas, lungs, breast, or urogenital system is a well-described entity. Mucinous adenocarcinomas from different primary sites are histologically identical with gland cells producing a copious amount
Colloid cysts account for approximately 2% of primary brain tumours and the majority of cases are identified in the fourth and fifth decade. They are small, gelatinous neoplasms lined by a single layer of mucin-secreting columnar epithelium that are thought to arise from errors in folding of the
The authors report a series of 10 low-grade neoplasms arising in the midline anteriorly in the region of the septum pellucidum with many of the histologic features of dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor (DNT). The patients (five female, five male) ranged in age from 6 to 35 years (mean age, 21.5
A 63-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with serious headache and vomiting. Five months before admission, she had undergone surgery for a primary advanced gastric cancer. Neuroradiological examinations revealed subdural fluid collection. We twice performed evacuation of the subdural fluid
The authors report a case of colloid cyst of the third ventricle diagnosed preoperatively through CT scan, pneumoencephalography and carotid angiography. The patient was a twenty-six year old housewife with a history of two repeated episodic headaches followed by gait disturbance, vomiting and cold
Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor (DNT)-like neoplasms of the septum pellucidum are extremely rare. We reviewed 2 cases of DNT-like neoplasm of the septum pellucidum and specifically studied the immunohistochemical features and chromosomes 1p and 19q deletions. One case was a 26-year-old woman
BACKGROUND
Computerized tomography (CT) of metastatic adenocarcinoma to the brain usually shows low-to-moderate attenuation. However, mucinous adenomas may appear with high attenuation, mimicking hemorrhage.
METHODS
A 68-year-old man with a history of metastatic esophageal adenocarcinoma presented
The colloid cyst is a benign growth usually located in the third ventricle and at or near the foramen of Monroe, which is at the anterior aspect of the third ventricle of the brain. The colloid cyst is an epithelial lined cyst filled with gelatinous material. The gelatinous material commonly
BACKGROUND
In Rathke cleft cysts (RCCs), inflammation by the cyst contents infrequently spreads to the surrounding structures. Calcification, which is regarded as a result of chronic inflammation of the cyst wall, can rarely be found in RCCs. Moreover, ossification is extremely rare.
METHODS
A
Pituicytoma is a rare, poorly characterized tumor of the sella and suprasellar region that is distinct morphologically from other local tumors and is thought to be derived from neurohypophyseal pituicytes. Clinical data, neuroimaging studies, and microsections were reviewed from nine such low-grade
