Article Synopsis
- A 55-year-old man was admitted to the hospital with a painless frontal tumor measuring 6 cm in diameter on his left forehead.
- Imaging tests indicated that the tumor might be a subcutaneous metastasis, with further scans revealing issues in the lung, liver, and adrenal glands.
- A biopsy ultimately confirmed that the tumor was a metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma, originating from the liver.
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to evaluate the diagnostic value of the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria for diagnosing giant cell arteritis by analyzing data from 415 temporal artery biopsies.
- The researchers used logistic regression to identify significant clinical signs, creating a scoring system, where a score above 7 indicates a likelihood of giant cell arteritis, achieving 75.7% sensitivity and 72.2% specificity.
- The study's unique approach involved using patients with prior suspicion of the disease but negative biopsy results as the control group, highlighting the need for further research on alternative diagnostic methods that don't rely on biopsies.
Studies relating to the prognosis of colorectal carcinomas insist on the quality of mesocolic examination and on the frequency of metastases in minute lymph nodes. The aim of our study was to evaluate an easy, rapid and new clearance method recently described by Koren et al. Twenty-one surgical specimens for colorectal carcinomas have been investigated.
