De novo germline TP53 mutation presenting with synchronous malignancies of the central nervous system.

13 Dec 2009 We present a case of a 14-year-old male with a germline TP53 mutation who presented with synchronous primitive neuroectodermal tumor and choroid plexus carcinoma. Identification of synchronous brain tumors prompted genetic testing for predisposition ... Read more...

Primary bone lymphoma.

30 Oct 2009 Primary bone lymphomas are rare, even though secondary involvement of the bone marrow is a common event in systemic lymphomas. Most primary bone lymphomas are primary bone diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (PBDLBCLs) with a rare occurrence of ... Read more...

Progression and prognosis of gastric stump cancer.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The incidence of gastric stump cancer (GSC) is increasing. The aim of this study is to determine the clinicopathologic feature and the differences of surgical outcome between GSC after partial gastrectomy for benign ... Read more...
