Breast metastasis from lung adenocarcinoma diagnosed with fine needle aspiration cytology: a case report.

Metastases to the breast from extramammary neoplasms are very rare. Correct diagnosis of breast malignancy is important for establishing appropriate management and for avoiding unnecessary radical surgery. Metastasized breast malignancies from non-small cell lung carcinoma are extremely rare.

Synchronous bilateral breast carcinoma with two different morphology subtypes: a case report.

We report a case of synchronous bilateral breast cancer with ductal and medullary carcinoma. A 60-year-old woman presented with lesion in both breasts which were mammographically found two years ago. Ultrasonography proved two suspected masses in breasts.

Prognostic value of computed tomography morphologic characteristics in stage I non-small-cell lung cancer.

Background: In this study, we describe the prognostic value of NSCLC morphologic characteristics obtainable by computed tomography (CT) in the preoperative staging. Starting with the initial hypothesis that CT morphologic characteristics of NSCLC have a prognostic value, we conducted a retrospective study that included 194 patients.

Patients And Methods: All patients underwent surgery because of stage IA or IB non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC).

Ancient medicine--a review.

Different aspects of medicine and/or healing in several societies are presented. In the ancient times as well as today medicine has been closely related to magic, science and religion. Various ancient societies and cultures had developed different views of medicine.

Respiratory findings in art and medical students. Effects of the art environment.

Background: Art students are exposed to many noxious agents during their training, in contrast to medical students, who are not exposed to known environmental pollutants.

Objectives: In order to investigate the potential effects of toxic agents in the art students' environment, we studied respiratory findings in a cohort of 117 art students and 128 medical students, matched for age, sex and smoking.

Methods: Acute and chronic respiratory symptoms were evaluated by modifying the British Medical Research Council questionnaire.

Wegener's granulomatosis of the breast.

Wegener's granulomatosis is a multisystem disorder characterized by necrotizing granulomatous inflammation and vasculitis of small vessels and can affect any organ system. The most common sites of involvement are upper and lower respiratory tracts, and kidneys. Breast involvement is unusual and very rare.

Description of diffuse interstitial lung diseases and assessment of their activity.

Conventional roentgenograms constitute the groundwork for the evaluation of diffuse interstitial lung disease (DILD). ILO classification with its symbols (additionally extended to granulomatoses) does not comprise pathoanatomic assumptions and does not enter lesion genesis for it could lead to diagnostic misconception. "High resolution" computer tomography (HRCT) provides the evaluation of lesion morphology and disease activity.
