Metastasis to Lung

PATIENT SUMMARY: We reviewed outcomes among kidney cancer patients who presented with small lung nodules and developed a clinical tool to predict risk of developing lung metastases. Copyright 2015 European Association of Urology. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Weight Loss

    Herein a previously healthy patient was admitted for dysphagia and fatigue, without significant weight loss. The pathological and molecular tests revealed his diagnosis of BRAF-mutant, advanced PMME with localized pulmonary metastasis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    She had no history of weight loss/body pain or any respiratory symptoms. She was not a diabetic or hypertensive. [thetrp.net]

    She had abdominal pain, occasional fever and weight loss for 3 months. Progressive breathlessness was present for 15 days. Her physical examination was unremarkable. [err.ersjournals.com]

    Clinical signs of nematodiasis were vague but generally consisted of weight loss, anorexia, and lethargy. Frequent antemortem fecal examinations were negative for spirurid eggs. [bioone.org]

  • Fever

    This 13-year-old girl admitted with 1-year history of cough, intermittent fever, and recurrent hemoptysis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Cough

    This 13-year-old girl admitted with 1-year history of cough, intermittent fever, and recurrent hemoptysis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    If a lung metastasis does cause symptoms, they may include: pain or discomfort in the lung shortness of breath wheezing persistent cough coughing up blood and mucus It can be difficult to tell the difference between symptoms of lung metastasis and symptoms [breastcancer.org]

    Very rarely are patients symptomatic with cough, pain, hemoptysis, or dyspnea. Helical, thin-sliced computed tomography is the gold standard for detecting pulmonary metastases. [accesssurgery.mhmedical.com]

  • Hemoptysis

    Three cases of choriocarcinoma with pulmonary metastasis who had the primary symptom of hemoptysis are described. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Very rarely are patients symptomatic with cough, pain, hemoptysis, or dyspnea. Helical, thin-sliced computed tomography is the gold standard for detecting pulmonary metastases. [accesssurgery.mhmedical.com]

  • Pneumonia

    Twenty-two months after completion of radiation therapy, the patient developed a lower left lobe pneumonia. [ecancer.org]

    Physicians have long noted an association between lung inflammation – seen in smokers or in people with lung diseases such as asthma, COPD and emphysema, and pneumonia – and the development of lung tumors. [news.cornell.edu]

  • Rales

    The word "rales" derives from the French word râle meaning "rattle". [dbpedia.org]

    Pulmonary auscultation showed decreased breath sounds, principally in the left lung, with wheezing, diffuse rales and crackles in the lung bases. [scielo.br]

  • Rhinorrhea

    A 29-year-old woman presented with nasal congestion and rhinorrhea for 6 months. CT scanning showed a large mass in the right maxillary sinus, which had infiltrated the surrounding tissues. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Dysphagia

    Herein a previously healthy patient was admitted for dysphagia and fatigue, without significant weight loss. The pathological and molecular tests revealed his diagnosis of BRAF-mutant, advanced PMME with localized pulmonary metastasis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Acute toxicities (eg, cough, dyspnea, dysphagia, nausea, and fatigue) were reported in half of the patients treated with whole-lung irradiation. [ascopost.com]

    Acute (0 to 6 months) EBRT side effects include esophagitis, dysphagia, erythema, and a need for tracheostomy, while late complications (6 months to 2 years) include xerostomia, esophageal stenosis, tracheal constriction, carotid stenosis, and brachial [thyroid.org]

    This is caused by compression of vasculature by the lung tumor that restricts blood return from the upper body.[4] dysphagia (trouble swallowing or the sensation that something is caught in the throat) and hoarseness new onset of wheezing without history [en.wikipedia.org]

  • Liver Dysfunction

    A 77-year-old man was admitted to our hospital due to exertional dyspnea and liver dysfunction. Computed tomography showed widespread infiltration and a ground-glass opacity in the lung and dilation of the intrahepatic bile duct. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Isolated pulmonary metastasis was defined as limited to presumable pulmonary metastasis according to the follow-up radiologic workup. RESULTS: Thirty-five patients were identified to have repeat pulmonary metastasis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

[…] an underlying lung cancer at younger ages.[5] Importantly, many of these signs are commonly due to other causes which are not cancer.[6] A detailed medical history should be obtained from each patient to determine the relevance of further diagnostic workup [en.wikipedia.org]

Therefore, early detection, adequate treatment of the primary bone lesion, conservative treatment of lung metastases, and regular long-term follow-up are recommended. Copyright 2016, SLACK Incorporated. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In this study, by assessing the metastasis pattern, we aimed to identify the factors that may affect prognosis and response to treatment in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) with pulmonary metastasis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology Pulmonary cavities may be the result of malignancy, infection, inflammation, or be congenital: cavitating malignancy primary bronchogenic carcinoma (especially squamous cell carcinoma) cavitating pulmonary metastases squamous cell carcinoma adenocarcinoma [radiopaedia.org]

In contrast to in the situation for breast carcinoma involving women, the etiology of male breast carcinoma remains little understood. [scielo.br]

[…] bone, muscle, skin, and breast, 3–7 but it most commonly arises in the lungs, in which the incidence ranges from 1% to 9%. 7–11 Pulmonary metastases usually have the same histological features as the benign primary tumor. 5,7,10,12 There are several etiologies [healio.com]

The solitary pulmonary nodule in this case was indistinguishable from pulmonary metastases of the adamantinoma based on clinical symptoms, epidemiology, chest radiography, CT, and FDG-PET/CT. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Objectives: To review the available data on epidemiology and management of foodborne nematodiasis in the European Union, detect any trends and determine the possible causes of the observed changes. [tandfonline.com]

The presumed underlying pathophysiologic mechanism is excessive vascular production of vasodilators (particularly, nitric oxide). [pubs.rsna.org]

Pathophysiology[edit] The respiratory tract can be divided into two main components: the conducting airways and the gas exchange airways. [en.wikipedia.org]

Bcl-3 could bind to Smad3 and prevent the ubiquitination and degradation of Smad3 protein. These results indicate that Bcl-3 serves as a promising target to prevent breast tumor lung metastasis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
