This retrospective study of 144 patients was made to (a) assess the potential of magnetic resonance (MR) for demonstrating lymph nodes using spin-echo technique, (b) compare the MR results with those of CT, and (c) determine the optimal pulse-delay time (TE) for imaging lymph nodes. The reported CT findings on ...

A 61-year old woman underwent total abdominal hysterectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection under the diagnosis of endometrial cancer. Although pelvic lymph nodes were positive for adenocarcinoma with psamomma bodies, no other lesion that was a primary lesion was verified. A postoperative study ...

Although endometriosis is a common disease in women of reproductive age, rectal endometriosis is rare and lymph node involvement by endometriosis is considered uncommon.

We report a case of advanced gastric cancer, with cervical, axillary, and abdominal paraaortic lymph node metastases, that was successfully treated with chemotherapy and surgery. The disease was initially considered unresectable, and the patient was treated with orally administered S-1. Chemotherapy was effective, and all ...

One hundred twenty-one patients with newly diagnosed, previously untreated Hodgkin disease underwent abdominal and pelvic computed tomographic (CT) scanning and bipedal lymphography. These studies were followed by staging laparotomy, which included biopsy of the liver, retroperitoneal and mesenteric lymph nodes, and splenectomy. ...

We report a 13-year-old boy who was detected to have an abdominal mass on ultrasonography. A possibility of tuberculous lymph nodes was considered in view of history of pain, low fever, and anorexia. Histology of the excised mass showed complete gastric duplication cyst. PMID:16204909

Diseases of mesentery and greater omentum are commonly the result of lymph node metastases from an abdominal carcinoma, or lymph node involvement as part of a general lymphatic malignancy. Primary tumours are rare. Cysts occur predominantly in children. In addition, one may find mesenchymal ...

Hepatic scintigraphy was performed prior to surgical exploration in 89 patients with primary carcinoma of the large bowel. Of these patients, 26% had positive liver scans at the time the diagnosis was established. The presence or absence of liver metastasis by scintigraphic criteria was correlated with surgical findings, a modified Duke pathologic classification, and the presence of tumor markers. ...

INTRODUCTIONInvolvement of regional lymph node is a critical sign in prognosis of gastric cancer. Radiological techniques are commonly used to evaluate the extension of gastric cancer. But their sensitivity and specificity are low especially in the early stage. Our aim was to assess the value of gastric lymphoscintigraphy in identifying regional ...

Although lymphography may be more accurate in assessing the extent of abdominal and pelvic Hodgkin's lymphoma, computed tomography (CT) has similar or greater overall accuracy than other imaging modalities in detecting malignant lymph nodes in the neck, chest, abdomen and pelvis. In this early stage of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, ...

Benign epithelial and nonepithelial inclusions have been found in lymph nodes in multiple body sites. These inclusions have been seen in cervical, axillary, mediastinal, abdominal, and pelvic lymph nodes. They appear as benign epithelial, parathyroid, decidual, mesothelial, angiolipomatous, ...

A 62-year-old Japanese man was referred to our hospital because of general fatigue. Abdominal ultrasonography and enhanced computed tomography scanning revealed many enlarged lymph nodes, mainly around the pancreas tail and the hilus of the spleen. Neither blood examination nor gallium scintigraphy revealed any abnormalities, whereas ...

Bladder cancer usually spreads via the lymphatic and hematogenous routes, the most common sites of metastases of urinary bladder cancers being the regional lymph nodes, liver, lung, bone, peritoneum, pleura, kidney, adrenal gland and intestines.

This report presents a case of highly advanced gastric cancer that achieved a histologically complete response (CR) to preoperative chemoradiotherapy with S-1 plus low-dose Cisplatin. A 60-year-old male patient underwent FDG positron emission tomography (PET) during a routine health examination. The patient was found to have swollen paraaortic lymph nodes. ...
