Background. Thyroid cancer, especially papillary carcinoma, metastasizes most often into cervical lymph nodes. Cervical ultrasound and ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy are the most sensitive modalities in detecting locoregional neck re...
Introduction: Adenoid cystic carcinoma (AdCC) is a rare tumor whose clinical course is burdened by local recurrence and distant dissemination. Lymph node metastasis is not believed to be common and its clinical impact is controversial. The aim of thi...
A 69-year-old female with recurrent esophageal cancer and multiple lymph node metastases and vomiting was admitted to our hospital. A computed tomography (CT) scan showed a lymph node metastasis that had become cystic and enlarged, and was suggested...
In patients with thyroid nodules, if the cervical lymph nodes gradually enlarge, a histological confirmation is required to rule out malignancy. Here is a case of benign intranodal thyroid tissue with cystic changes resembling lymph node metastasis o...
Consistent standards regarding whether postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy is required in the treatment of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the breast (ACCB) are currently lacking. Using clinical data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (...
Salivary gland cancers (SGCs) are diagnosed using histopathological examination, which significantly contributes to their progression, including lymph node/distant metastasis or local recurrence. In the current World Health Organization (WHO) Classif...
Primary fallopian tube carcinoma is very rare. Diagnosis is challenging. The description of our case concerns an asymptomatic 71-year-old patient who came for a routine gynecological examination. Imaging of the pelvis revealed the presence of a two-c...
Squamous cell carcinoma of unknown primary (SCCUP) is a challenging diagnostic subgroup of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC). The incidence of SCCUP is increasing in parallel with the well-documented increase in OPSCC and is likewise driv...
Backgound and Objectives: Gastric metastasis from invasive ductal breast cancer (BC) is rare. It mainly occurs in patients with lobular BC. The occurrence of multiple metastases is typically observed several years after the primary diagnosis. Endosco...
Primary lung cancer manifesting as a thin-walled solitary cavity, occurs relatively infrequently. The most common histologic type presenting such a pattern is squamous cell cancer, followed by adenocarcinoma, and finally—large cell cancer. Cavitation...
Episiotomy is a perineal incision enlarging the vaginal opening during labor, preventing severe perineal/vaginal/ano-rectal lacerations. We performed a systematic literature review (PRISMA guidelines; Pubmed, Scopus and Web of Science databases) of p...
Background and Objectives: The aim of the study was to analyze the prevalence and characteristics of pancreatic cystic tumors (PCTs). Material and Methods: A retrospective analysis of the medical records of 124 patients, 102 (69%) women and 46 (31%)...
Primary tracheobronchial adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignancy, so the optimal radiotherapy (RT) dose remains unestablished. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of dose-escalated RT for primary tracheobronchial ACC. We retrospectivel...
A malignancy risk stratification system (RSS) for cervical lymph nodes (LNs) has not been fully established. This study aimed to validate the current RSS for the diagnosis of cervical LN metastasis in thyroid cancer. In total, 346 LNs from 282 consec...
Background/Objectives: Guidelines for the risk stratification of thyroid nodules are based on certain well-recognized sonographic features of nodules. However, significant variations in reported sensitivity and specificity values are observed due to...
We report a rare case of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) arising from an intraosseous epidermal cyst (EC) in the distal phalanx of the left thumb. A 76-year-old male presented with progressive thumb pain experienced over the previous six months. Radiog...
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a slow-growing, locally aggressive, rarely metastasizing, low-grade cutaneous neoplasm that arises from the epidermal basal layer and invades the adjoining tissues. It is the most common skin cancer. It is fairly common...
The aim of this paper is to define the pre-treatment radiological characteristics of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) using morphological and non-morphological magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), based on HPV status, in a single-institutio...
Background/Objectives: Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is the most common malignant tumor of the minor salivary glands, often affecting the hard palate. Preoperative diagnosis and surgical planning are challenging due to anatomical complexity and limi...
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is an important risk factor for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC). HPV-positive (HPV+) cases are associated with a different pathophysiology, microstructure, and prognosis compared to HPV-negative (HPV−) c...
Background: Endosalpingiosis is assumed to be the second most common benign peritoneal pathology after endometriosis in women. Although recent studies indicate a significant association with gynecologic malignancies, many underlying principles remain...
Ovarian gynandroblastoma (GAB) is an extremely rare sex cord-stromal tumor showing morphological evidence of both female (granulosa cell tumor) and male (Sertoli–Leydig cell tumor (SLCT)) components. Almost all GAB cases have been reported in c...
Background: Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) are premalignant cystic neoplasms of the pancreas (CNPs), which can progress to invasive IPMN and pancreatic cancer. The available literature has shown controversial results regarding progn...
The vulva is a complex anatomical organ that may present with a wide range of pathologies. Even if it can be easily investigated, correctly interpreting vulvar appearance is often challenging. Vulvar ultrasound is an emerging diagnostic technique tha...
Background/Objectives: This study involved an analysis of clinical data, histological types, genetic predisposition, treatment and outcomes in PPB in children. Patients and methods: We conducted a retrospective review of children treated for PPB at P...
Background: Intraoral adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) arising from minor salivary glands (MSG) is a rare malignancy associated with delayed diagnosis and unfavorable outcomes. This study aimed to comprehensively review ACC of MSGs, focusing on clinica...
