PEComa of the lung
Perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa), also called clear cell
\u2032sugar\u2032 tumor of the lung, is a rare benign tumor arising
from perivascular epithelioid cells (PECs). We report a case of a
15-year-old boy who presented with right lower lobe lesion which turned
out to be a clear cell tumor of the lung. An
[18F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) - positron emission tomography
(PET) scan revealed mild FDG uptake in the lung lesion (SUV< 1) with
no active uptake elsewhere in the body. We discuss the clinical,
radiologic and immunohistochemical features of clear cell
\u2032sugar\u2032 tumor of lung and compare them with published
literature
Cerebellar control of visceral responsesâpossible mechanisms involved
429-435It seems
reasonable to assume that cerebellar autonomic control operates according to
similar principles as those utilized in the somatomotor coordination. The
unique and very uniform neuronal architecture throughout the cerebellum speaks
in favour of such a view
