“…[ 7 ] The association of bladder cancer and lymphangitis carcinomatosa is rare, and to the best of our knowledge, only two such cases have been reported in the English literature. [ 2 3 ] The nested variant of the TCC is an uncommon but aggressive tumor with a tendency to cause early metastasis. [ 8 ] The association of nested variant of bladder TCC with pulmonary lymphangitis carcinomatosa has not been previously reported in the literature.…”

“…[ 1 ] It is rarely seen in patients with urothelial carcinoma. [ 2 3 ] We describe a case in which pulmonary lymphangitis carcinomatosa was associated with bladder carcinoma.…”
Pulmonary lymphangitis carcinomatosa occurs due to dissemination of cancer cells in pulmonary lymphatics. It is only rarely seen with urological malignancies and portends a grave prognosis. Its presence in patients with urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder is uncommon. We present a case of a nested variant of transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder associated with pulmonary lymphangitis carcinomatosa. We also discuss the symptoms and radiological features that might aid in timely diagnosis of this entity.
“…CT as the initial manifestation of primary malignant tumours with no pericardial origin such as lung, urinary bladder, kidney, vagina, ovarian, fallopian tube, endometrium, uterine cervix, colon, stomach, thyroid, thymus, breast, lymphoma, and melanoma have all been reported [[25], [26], [27], [28], [29], [30], [31], [32], [33], [34], [35], [36], [37], [38], [39]]. Furthermore, sudden death due to CT caused by metastatic lung cancer has been mentioned [40,41].…”
Sudden cardiac death is an unexpected clinical condition that typically occurs due to a cardiac cause, generally within 1 h of symptom onset, in people with known or unknown cardiac disease. Primary malignant pericardial mesothelioma, as a cause of sudden death, is an uncommon consequence of a rare disease. Herein, we present a case of cardiac tamponade due to a primary pericardial mesothelioma. Cytological, histopathology and gross post-mortem findings, in a previously asymptomatic 46-old-year man, are reported. The medical literature regarding this topic is also reviewed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
