• neuroendocrine lesions in intrathoracic lymph nodes of patients with primary lung adenocarcinoma
  25 November 2010

  The presence of individual neuroendocrine cells in rare peripancreatic lymph nodes (LNs) suggests that neuroendocrine tumor or nested neuroendocrine cell proliferation can arise in situ from neuroendocrine cells native to any LN.
  However, it is very difficult to ascertain whether any neuroendocrine lesion in LNs is a primary tumor or a metastasis from adjacent organs.
  Neuroendocrine lesion can be incidentally identified in ILNs. Close clinical follow-up is warranted as metastasis from or (...)

  NCK1-29 : Sternal cleft
  Definition: Sternal malformations are rare congenital malformations of the chest wall. Only a few cases have been reported.
  Most cases are diagnosed shortly after birth and are reported only rarely in adults.
  In one series of 5182 chest wall defects, 0.15% were sternal clefts.
  Seventy-five percent of these patients were female.
  Isolated sternal cleft is a separate entity from ectopia cordis and other (...)
