Approximately 10% of phyllodes tumor develop distant metastases and this occurrence is higher (20%) in patients with histological-identified malignant tumors. [16] The most common site for distant metastases include the lung, bone, and abdominal viscera. [17] In more insidious cases, the parotid region has also been described in literature. [18]
The International Classification of Diseases for Oncology (ICD-O) is a domain-specific extension of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems for tumor diseases. This classification is widely used by cancer registries. It is currently in its third revision (ICD-O-3). ICD-10 includes a list of ...
Fibroadenoma of the breast is a benign tumor composed of a biplastic proliferation of both stromal and epithelial components. [ 12 ] [ 13 ] This biplasia can be arranged in two growth patterns: pericanalicular (stromal proliferation around epithelial structures) and intracanalicular (stromal proliferation compressing the epithelial structures ...
Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT), also known as fibrous tumor of the pleura, is a rare mesenchymal tumor originating in the pleura [1] or at virtually any site in the soft tissue including the seminal vesicle. [2]
The standard radiographs provide differing types ("shape and size") and severity ("profusion") of abnormalities seen in persons with pneumoconiosis, including Coal Workers’ Pneumoconiosis, silicosis, and asbestosis. The reader then classifies the subject x-ray, often recording the findings on the NIOSH Roentgenographic Interpretation form.
Size: larger size confers a higher risk of cancer [8] Location : Upper lobe location is a risk factor for cancer, while a location close to a fissure or the pleura indicates a benign lymph node, [ 8 ] especially if having a triangular shape.
The sign is an imaging finding using a 3.5–7.5 MHz ultrasound probe in the fourth and fifth intercostal spaces in the anterior clavicular line using the M-Mode of the machine. This finding is seen in the M-mode tracing as pleura and lung being indistinguishable as linear hyperechogenic lines and is fairly reliable for diagnosis of a pneumothorax.
