Endobronhalnim ultrazvukom vođena aspiracija tankom iglom (EBUS-TBNA): Phyllodes tumor s me- tastazom u medijastinumu, vrlo rijedak tip metastatske neoplazme dojke

Phyllodes tumor of the breast, diagnosed predominantly in middle-aged women, is a rare fi- broepithelial neoplasm that makes up less than 1% of all breast neoplasms. Most phyllodes tumors have a benign nature with rare local recurrences, but some cytological subtypes are known for their malignant behavior. In this case report, we presented a patient with an extremely rare malignant sarcomatous differentiation of phyllodes tumor with metastasis to mediastinal lymph nodes, diagnosed by using endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA).Phyllodes (filoidni) tumor dojke, dijagnosticiran pretežno u žena srednje dobi, rijetka je fibroepitelna neo- plazma koja čini manje od 1% svih neoplazmi dojke. Većina filoidnih tumora dojke ima benignu prirodu s rijetkim lokalnim recidivima, ali određeni citološki podtipovi poznati su po svom malignom ponašanju. U ovom prikazu slučaja prikazali smo bolesnicu s iznimno rijetkom malignom sarkomatoznom diferencijacijom tumora filoidesa s metastazama u medijastinalne limfne čvorove, dijagnosticiranom uz pomoć transbronhalne aspiracije iglom vođene endobronhalnim ultrazvukom (engl. Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration, EBUS-TBNA)

From Azoospermia to Fertility: A Successful Case of mTESE Treatment

Infertility is diagnosed clinically in heterosexual couples who cannot achieve pregnancy after a year of having intercourse without using birth control. Statistically, every sixth couple in Croatia is infertile and 50% of infertility cases are male-originated

Transkateterska implantacija aortnog zaliska (TAVI) umjesto transplantacije srca kod pacijenta s dila- tativnom kardiomiopatijom

Dilated cardiomyopathy is myocardial dysfunction that predominantly presents with ventricular dilation and systolic dysfunction. Onset is usually gradual, except in acute myocarditis. Generally, the prognosis is poor; up to 70% of patients die within five years of diagnosis. Therefore, these patients are usually candidates for heart transplantation.Dilatativna kardiomiopatija predstavlja disfunkciju miokarda u kojoj prevladavaju dilatacija ventrikula i sistolička disfunkcija. Početak je često postupan, osim u akutnom miokarditisu. Prognoza je općenito loša te čak do 70% bolesnika umire unutar 5 godina od dijagnoze. Zbog loše prognoze ovi pacijenti često su kandidati za transplantaciju srca

Uncovering the Connection Between Stress and Cancer: A Case Report

Many research studies show the connection between a previous stressful event and an increase in health problems. These usually include heart disease, diabetes, and hypertension. However, whether this could affect the immune system and be a trigger for developing carcinoma remains open for discussion

Maligna bolest, ili je nešto drugo?

Sarcoidosis is a disease characterized by formation of granulomas in various tissues and organs. Changes most frequently occur in the lungs and lymph nodes.Sarkoidoza je bolest karakterizirana rastom granuloma u raznim tkivima i organima. Ove promjene se najčešće pojavljuju u plućima i limfnim čvorovima
