Abdominal cystic lymphangioma mimicking ovarian mass: A case report and literature review.

Cystic lymphangiomas are uncommon benign lesions extremely rare in the adult population. Most cases are found in the neck and axillary regions; while <1% of patients present with cystic lymphangiomas in the mesentery, greater omentum and retroperitoneum. The present report describes a rare case of large omental lymphangioma mimicking ovarian mass.

Receptor-Binding Cancer Antigen Expression in Thyroid Neoplasms: A Retrospective Study.

Receptor-binding cancer antigen (RCAS1) is a membrane protein, regarded as a tumor-associated antigen. Cancer cells evade immune response with RCAS1 up-regulation, inducing apoptosis to tumor infiltrating lymphocytes. Thyroid cancer incidence is rising and its accurate diagnosis in early stage is targeted.

Association Between hsa-miR-30e Polymorphisms and Sporadic Primary Hyperparathyroidism Risk.

Background/aim: Almost 15% of patients with sporadic primary hyperparathyroidism (sPHPT) present with multiple gland disease (MGD). The aim of this study was to investigate the potential role of two polymorphisms of the hsa-miR-30e, in sPHPT tumorigenesis.

Patients And Methods: One-hundred twenty sPHPT patients, 77 presenting a single adenoma and 43 with MGD, and 54 healthy controls were genotyped.

Diagnosis, management, histology and genetics of sporadic primary hyperparathyroidism: old knowledge with new tricks.

Primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is a common endocrinopathy resulting from inappropriately high PTH secretion. It usually results from the presence of a single gland adenoma, multiple gland hyperplasia or rarely parathyroid carcinoma. All these conditions require different management, and it is important to be able to differentiate the underlined pathology, in order for the clinicians to provide the best therapeutic approach.

Technical Intraoperative Maneuvers for the Management of Inferior Vena Cava Thrombus in Renal Cell Carcinoma.

Introduction: Renal vein or inferior vena cava (IVC) invasion by neoplastic thrombus in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is not an obstacle for radical oncological treatment. The aim of this study is to present our technical maneuvers for complete removal of the intracaval thrombus without compromising hemodymanic stability of the patient.

Materials And Methods: Between 2000 and 2014, 15 RCC patients with IVC involvement of levels I-III were treated with curative intent and were prospectively studied.
