An Unusual Presentation of Metastatic Gastric Adenocarcinoma — Acute Onset of Right Neck Swelling
Journal of the Formosan Medical Association = Taiwan yi zhi, 2007Co-Authors: Kuan-ting Liu, Hon-man Chan, Tzeng-jih LinAbstract:Central venous thrombosis is an uncommon problem associated with malignancy. We present here a 53- year-old male who visited the emergency room because of right Neck Swelling. Fluid accumulation over deep Neck space led to the diagnosis of suspected hemorrhage, and central venous thrombosis was found by computed tomography. This patient had no other precipitating cause. Autoimmune disorders, hypercoagulation and malignancy surveys were performed during hospitalization. Elevated serum tissue polypeptide antigen and CA130 were noted, and multiple liver metastases were found by another computed tomography. Subsequently, gastric adenocarcinoma was confirmed after gastroendoscopy. Gastric adenocarcinoma with distal metastases was finally diagnosed. This case reminds us that central venous thrombosis is a sign of many diseases. Malignancy, including gastric adenocarcinoma, is one of the causes that should be considered.

Sudden massive Neck Swelling due to hemorrhage of a thyroid adenoma: a case report
Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2011Co-Authors: Evangelos I Giotakis, Tanja Hildenbrand, Joachim DodenhöftAbstract:Introduction Sudden Swelling of the Neck is an emergency situation that can be life-threatening for the patient. Therefore, an understanding of the possible underlying pathology is of great importance. Sudden massive Swelling of the Neck because of intralesional bleeding of a thyroid adenoma is seldom encountered but must be considered. Such massive Swelling caused by spontaneous bleeding of a thyroid adenoma has not yet been described in the literature. Case presentation We report the case of a 71-year-old Caucasian man with sudden massive Neck Swelling due to intralesional bleeding of a thyroid adenoma. We present his clinical history, physical examination results, computed tomography (CT) scans, and histological findings after surgery. He presented with sudden massive Swelling of the left side of his Neck after sneezing while working with his hands over his head. An ear, nose, and throat examination showed a painless Swelling of the left side of his Neck and a displacement of his larynx to the right. CT scans revealed a mass originating from the left lobe of his thyroid gland and the mass displaced his larynx and trachea. A surgical exploration showed a greatly enlarged left lobe of his thyroid gland. A histopathological examination showed a hemorrhagic infarction of a follicular thyroid adenoma. Conclusions Sudden intralesional bleeding of a thyroid adenoma is a rare condition but one that should be considered in cases of sudden and massive Swelling of the Neck.

Neck Swelling and years of convulsive syncope
Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2018Co-Authors: Anna Svatikova, Siva K Mulpuru, Raul E EspinosaAbstract:Physical examination remains key in evaluation of syncope. A 38 year old female presented with 8 year history of recurrent syncope associated with falls and injuries. Spells had no trigger. She had been on anticonvulsants on the presumption that her spells represented seizures. For years, she had a
