Abstract
We report 4 cases to support this postulation. The patients were male adults aged 42 to 89 years, who presented with an infiltrative, firm cervical mass. Two patients also had IgG4-related chronic sclerosing sialadenitis of submandibular gland and lymphadenopathy. Histologically, the cervical soft t...

Abstract
We present the case of a 3-year-old girl with generalized lymphadenopathy and fever, in whom the cause of the symptoms was initially thought to be infectious. Ultimately, however, anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) was diagnosed. Using this case as a backdrop, we discuss the wide range of systemi...

Abstract
Ultrasound is a relatively inexpensive, non-invasive, and readily available technique that is well tolerated by patients. It is particularly useful in the examination of superficial structures where the use of a high frequency linear probe (7.5-12 MHz) produces high definition multi-planar images. T...

Abstract
Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) is an evolving diagnostic tool in respiratory medicine that allows the bronchoscopist to see beyond the airway. The radial probe EBUS was first introduced to evaluate the central airway structure. With advances in technology, the small radial probes can now visualize...

Nineteen patients were included, 13 new cases and six from the literature. Mean age of patients was 23 (range 9-50) years. Female/male ratio was 1.1:1. Cervical lymphadenopathy, the hallmark of KFD in the Far East (97%), was less frequent in Israel (44%). However, Israeli patients presented more oft...

The resection rate was 100%. There was no perioperative mortality. All cases were followed up for 3 years. The 1, 3-year survival rates were 95.7% (44/46) and 91.3% (42/46) versus 93.9% (31/33) and 90.9% (30/33) for a traditional thymic operation respectively. And the difference was insignificant (P...
