RESUMEN
Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is the most common benign salivary gland neoplasm. Metastasising PA (MPA) is a rare subtype which is histologically and molecularly indistinguishable from the tumor in the primary location that often occurs after multiple recurrences.We herein report a case of 29 year female who underwent right parotidectomy for PA 15 years ago which was followed by history of recurrences and now presenting with MPA involving ipsilateral lymph nodes.
RESUMEN
Laryngeal chondrometaplasia (LCM) is a rare clinically asymptomatic entity with reported incidence in autopsy studies of 1-2% only. Foci of metaplastic cartilage seen on histology need to be distinguished from other benign cartilaginous tumours of larynx. We present a case of LCM in an elderly male adequately managed by microlaryngeal surgery (MLS).
RESUMEN
Thyroglobulin-elevated negative iodine scan (TENIS) syndrome represents a significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Highly sensitive imaging modalities are required to help in the localization of disease, treatment planning, and prognostication. When compared to other imaging modalities, F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography-computed tomography has superior sensitivity and specificity in localizing the disease in this subset of patients. Tumor thrombus of thyroid cancer extending into the great vein is a very rare occurrence and management criteria have not been well established yet. We present a case of TENIS syndrome with tumor thrombus in the superior vena cava.
RESUMEN
Skeletal scintigraphy with 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate and 18-fluorine-fluoride the main stay in cancer follow-up for early detection of skeletal metastasis often reveal confusing and conflicting findings requiring proper interpretation in conjunction with clinical-radiological correlation. A series of commonly encountered findings are presented for elucidation.
RESUMEN
Clinical manifestations of Nephroptosis are ubiquitous. Diagnosis is achieved after ruling out all other causes of abdominal pain by investigations. However, Nuclear Scan with Tc-99m GHA, MAG 3 and DTPA renal agents with dedicated imaging in supine and erect postures confirms the diagnosis5. Not only as a diagnostic aid, it also helps in decision making for surgical correction by depicting the changes in drainage and GFR in different postures. We describe a case of Nephroptosis where DTPA Renal Scintigraphy addressed the diagnostic and therapeutic issues in the case.
