Unusual clinical cases that mimic acute disseminated encephalomyelitis.
We report on six cases of different etiologies that mimicked the clinical and radiologic findings of ADEM. The cases were collected from four different reference hospitals in Turkey. The same radiologist from the Akdeniz University Faculty of Medicine examined the magnetic resonance images of all patients. Three (50%) patients had antecedent infections. Initial symptoms of the patients were as follows: fever in 50%, altered consciousness in 33.3% and convulsions in 16.7% of patients. Neurologic examination showed long tract signs in 83.3%, ataxia in 50% and altered consciousness in 50% of patients. Cerebrospinal fluid exam...

Dementia Risk in Irradiated Patients With Head and Neck Cancer
This study estimated the dementia risk associated with different treatment modalities in a head and neck cancer population with long-term follow-up. Taiwan's National Health Insurance claims database and a cancer registry database from the Collaboration Center of Health Information Application were linked for the present analysis. Patients with head and neck cancer, treated from January 1, 2002 to December 31, 2010, were included in the study. The follow-up duration was the period from the index date to December 31, 2012. Inclusion criteria were head and neck cancer; an age>20 years; and having undergone surgery, CT, concu...

Does Thoracoscopic Surgery Decrease the Morbidity of Combined Lung and Chest Wall Resection?
CONCLUSIONS: Thoracoscopic chest wall resection was feasible, expanded our case selection, and reduced prosthetic reconstruction. It did not, however, protect frail, elderly patients reliably. Briefer, less traumatic operations may be needed for this cohort. PMID: 25916876 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Primary aortic sarcoma: A rare but critical cause of stroke
A 64-year-old woman with an aortic mass experienced repeated recurrences of stroke (figure 1) and died 8 months later. The postmortem examination showed the tumor to almost completely obstruct the aortic lumen, while extending to the intracranial arteries without parenchymal invasion (figure 2). The pathologic diagnosis was undifferentiated aortic intimal sarcoma. Primary aortic sarcoma is a rare and aggressive tumor, with clinical symptoms including acute arterial embolism and disseminated metastasis.1 Although arch atheroma is sometimes identified as a cause of cerebral emboli,2 this case shows that primary aortic sarcom...

Drugs to be offered to women at high risk of breast cancer
The National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has today released updated guidelines on the care of women who are at increased risk of breast cancer due to their family history. One of the main changes to the original guidance from 2004 is that NICE now recommends drug treatment with tamoxifen or raloxifene to reduce risk of breast cancer in a specific group of women who are at high risk of breast cancer and have not had the disease. They say that these treatments could help prevent breast cancer in about 488,000 women aged 35 years and older. The updated guideline has also made changes to the recommende...

Primary cardiac tumors: 32 years of experience from a Spanish tertiary surgical center
Conclusions: In our study, primary cardiac tumors were insidious. The most common was left atrial myxoma in which surgical resection was considered curative. Undifferentiated sarcoma was the most frequent malignant tumor. Malignant neoplasms carried a worse prognosis with unsuccessful total excision and the presence of metastatic disease being markers of an adverse outcome.

Metastatic undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma causing intraoperative stroke.
We report a case of a dedifferentiated liposarcoma that metastasized to the lung within one year. The histologic morphology of the metastasis was more aggressive than the primary lesion, and was consistent with a pleomorphic undifferentiated sarcoma. Following surgical resection of the metastatic pulmonary lesion, the patient never fully regained consciousness. He expired the day following his surgery. At autopsy, the patient was found to have died from a massive hemorrhagic stroke involving almost the entire left cerebrum. Tumor emboli from the pulmonary metastasis were seen in the left middle cerebral artery, causing the...
