Asymptomatic bilateral giant adrenal myelolipomas: case report and review of literature.

Objective: To describe an unusual case of bilateral giant adrenal masses caused by a primary adrenal myelolipoma.

Methods: We present the clinical, laboratory, and pathologic findings in a 32-year-old man with bilateral adrenal masses. The previous reports of bilateral myelolipomas also were reviewed.

Functioning adrenocortical carcinoma with superior vena cava and upper airway obstructions.

Background: Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is one of the most aggressive endocrine malignancies with a dismal prognosis. Typically, the tumor is large and has regional invasion or distant metastasis at initial presentation.

Objective: To describe an unusual case of functioning ACC presenting with superior vena cava (SVC) and upper airway obstruction.

Integrated criteria of fine-needle aspiration cytology and radiological imaging for verification of breast cancer in nonpalpable lesions.

Objectives: To evaluate the accuracy of using radiologic, cytologic and integrated radiologic and cytologic criteria in diagnosis of nonpalpable breast lesions.

Material And Method: From January 2003 to May 2004, a prospective study of performing fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) was carried out at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital on female patients with nonpalpable or vaguely palpable lumps that needed ultrasound localization for the direction and depth.

Results: There were 162 lesions from 150 patients, consisting of 29 malignant neoplasms (17.

Abnormal findings in breast imaging: a hospital-based survey in 4264 Thai women.

Objective: To evaluate the distributions of common and significant imaging findings from breast imagings at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospitals.

Material And Method: Data was collected from every mammography performed from November 1, 2001 to October 31, 2002. The reports were analyzed and imaging findings were recorded.

Role of combined fine needle aspiration and ultrasonography in the diagnosis of impalpable lesions of the breast.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of combined fine needle aspiration (FNA) and ultrasonography in the diagnosis of impalpable breast lesions.

Method: To analyze the diagnostic performance of the FNA cytology and ultrasound among female patients with impalpable breast lesions that were referred to the FNA clinic at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital and Faculty of Medicine, Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok, Thailand during the period of July 2001 to June 2002. The final diagnoses employed surgical pathology and 6-month follow-up of the patients.
