Thyroid metastases from renal cell carcinoma. Report of a case and review of the literature
2018
Metastases to thyroid gland are a rare occurrence in surgical practice. The most frequent primitive tumor is renal cell carcinoma. We report a case of thyroid metastasis from renal cell carcinoma in a 70-year-old man who underwent left nephrectomy ten years earlier, presented with a diagnosis of multinodular goiter, associated with thyroiditis and right laterocervical lymphadenopathy. A total and the surgical excision of laterocervical lymph node were performed. The results, according to the histological examination, were metastases from renal cell carcinoma, involving both the thyroid gland and the lymph node. Therefore, since the delay of presentation and the difficulties of diagnosis, we…
Validity of the study of sentinel lymph nodes in the treatment of breast carcinoma.
2004
Since it was introduced in the 1990s, axillary sentinel lymph-node biopsy has been rapidly and widely adopted to avoid complete axillary dissection (though this is still the standard procedure). The aims of the study were two-fold: (i) to determine the value of different techniques of sentinel lymph-node identification and (ii) to verify the predictive value of such procedures through histological examination of the sentinel lymph node and axillary dissection in the same patients. Both sentinel lymph-node biopsy and axillary dissection were performed in 230 patients with T1 and T2 (< 3 cm) carcinoma of the breast. Preoperative lymphoscintigraphy was able to identify the sentinel lymph node …
