AI Article Synopsis

  • A 52-year-old man with backward epilepsy was found to have a left fronto-parietal tumor during evaluation.
  • The tumor was identified as a meningeal tumor, with a metastasis from lung cancer detected two months after surgery.
  • The authors reviewed 33 similar cases from the literature, examining the clinical aspects and potential causes of these rare brain tumor metastases.

Article Abstract

In a 52 years old man a backward epilepsy revealed a left fronto parietal tumor. The histopathological study shows that it is a meningial tumor composed around by meningocytic proliferation with a metastasis of lung cancer in the middle. This fact was proved only two months after neurosurgical intervention. Thirty three cases of cancer with metastasis in an intracranial primitive tumor have been collected in the literature. The authors study the clinical aspects and etiopathogenic hypothesis of this surprising anatomopathological fact.

Objective: This study focuses on epidermal growth factor receptor-mutated lung adenocarcinoma, known for frequent brain metastasis. It aimed to compare the clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness of combining Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRS) with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) (GKRS+TKI group) versus TKIs alone (TKI group) for the treatment of patients with newly diagnosed brain metastasis in this condition.

Methods: Study characteristics of the two groups were matched using inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW).

Refractory small cell lung cancer with pancreatic metastasis: A case report.

Medicine (Baltimore)

January 2025

Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, The Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University, Inner Mongolia, Hohhot, China.

Rationale: The occurrence of refractory small cell lung cancer (rSCLC) with pancreatic metastasis is a relatively rare clinical condition, which is typically accompanied by a poor prognosis and rapid disease progression.

Patient Concerns: A 65-year-old male farmer from China was diagnosed with limited-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC) 8 months ago. Following 6 cycles of EP chemotherapy, the patient's tumor response showed partial relief.

Rationale: Synovial sarcoma (SS) is a rare and highly malignant soft tissue sarcoma. When SS occurs in atypical locations, it can present significant diagnostic challenges. We report a case of paraspinal SS initially misdiagnosed as spinal tuberculosis, highlighting the diagnostic difficulties and the importance of considering SS in the differential diagnosis.

Background: Few studies have explored the genetic changes and clinicopathological features of stage II/III gastric cancer (GC) patients with no tumor recurrence, early recurrence, or late recurrence after curative surgery.

Methods: In this study, 376 patients who underwent curative surgery for stage II/III GC were analyzed. The clinical and genetic features of patients with no recurrence, early recurrence (<2 years), and late recurrence (≥2 years) were compared.

Background: Pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma (PSC) is a rare lung cancer characterized by early metastasis and invasion. It is predominantly diagnosed at a locally advanced or metastatic stage, hindering the possibility of surgical intervention. However, a standard treatment for advanced PSC remains unestablished.
