Pleural Disorders: Types and Brief Description01:30

Pleural Disorders: Types and Brief Description

174
The pleura is a vital part of the respiratory system. It's a double-layered membrane surrounding the lungs and lining the chest cavity. The two layers of the pleura are:

Metastasis02:30

Metastasis

5.5K
Metastasis is the spread of cancer cells from the original site to distant locations in the body. Cancer cells can spread via blood vessels (hematogenous) as well as lymph vessels in the body.
Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...

Abnormal Proliferation02:23

Abnormal Proliferation

4.4K
Under normal conditions, most adult cells remain in a non-proliferative state unless stimulated by internal or external factors to replace lost cells. Abnormal cell proliferation is a condition in which the cell's growth exceeds and is uncoordinated with normal cells. In such situations, cell division persists in the same excessive manner even after cessation of the stimuli, leading to persistent tumors. The tumor arises from the damaged cells that replicate to pass the damage to the...

Skin Cancer01:30

Skin Cancer

3.0K
Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

Cancer02:18

Cancer

47.3K
Cancers arise due to mutations in genes involved in the regulation of cell division, which leads to unrestricted cell proliferation. Modern science and medicine have made great strides in the understanding and treatment of cancer, including eradicating cancer in some patients. However, there is still no cure for cancer. This is largely due to the fact that cancer is a large group of many diseases.

Barrett Esophagus-I: Introduction01:21

Barrett Esophagus-I: Introduction

54
Barrett's esophagus is a medical condition where the esophageal mucosa is significantly damaged by stomach acid or other digestive fluids, often due to long-term exposure associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). In GERD, a weakened or abnormally relaxed lower esophageal sphincter allows stomach acid to flow persistently into the esophagus.
This constant acid exposure transforms the esophagus's pink mucosal lining (stratified squamous epithelium) into a type of lining more...

  • Oncology
  • Radiology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Malignant mesothelioma is a rare cancer.
  • Miliary spread is an uncommon, late-stage manifestation.
  • Hematogenous dissemination is the suspected mechanism.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the characteristic CT imaging findings of miliary spread in mesothelioma.
  • To emphasize the importance of recognizing this pattern for diagnosis and patient management.

Main Methods:

  • Case report presentation.
  • Review of CT imaging findings.
  • Discussion of clinical implications.

Main Results:

  • Miliary spread of mesothelioma demonstrates specific CT imaging characteristics.
  • Radiologists and clinicians should be aware of these findings.

Conclusions:

  • Recognition of miliary spread on CT aids in mesothelioma diagnosis and prognostication.
  • Early identification facilitates appropriate palliative care referrals for advanced mesothelioma.
