Mammary cancer is the most common malignant neoplasm in the bitch. It constitute 40 percent of all tumors in female dogs, which is three times higher than incidence of mammary tumors in humans[2]. Cytological differentiation between benign and malignant canine mammary tumors is difficult, however, an irregular chromatin pattern was reported to be a significant criterion for malignancy[1]. It can be estimated that approximately 30 percent of the surgically removed mammary tumors are malignant[4]. Malignant mammary tumors often have some degree of infiltrative/destructive growth into adjacent tissues and/or invasion of vessels. Malignant mammary tumors often metastasize into local lymph nodes and lungs, and less frequently into other organs[3]. Based on histological and cytological criteria, this case was diagnosed as tubulopapillary carcinoma of the mammary gland. (omitted)

A 13-year-old neutered male Poodle dog was presented with a third eyelid mass in the left eye. The dog had undergone local resection of the mass about a year prior in a private practice. On cytological examination, the mass was diagnosed as adenocarcinoma. Although lung and lymph node metastases were suspected, based upon the computed tomographic results, exenteration was performed to relieve chronic pain and to improve the dog's quality of life. Exenteration carried a good prognosis with no tumor recurrence until 1 year and 10 months after surgery, when local recurrence occurred near the left zygomatic arch.

Thyroglossal duct cyst is common midline mass, which is related to hyoid bone and may show signs of inflammation. Carcinoma arising in the thyroglossal duct cyst is rare, occuring in less than 1% of thyroglossal duct cyst. Papillary adenocarcinoma is the most common histologic type(75-85%). The initial treatement of choice is wide excision of the tumor bearing tissue(Sistrunk procedure), resection of associated lymph node alone is enough when they are small and isolated, but a modified neck dissection must be done if regional involvement is more extensive. Its prognosis is excellent(the incidence of regional lymph node metastasis is 7% compare to 89% for papillary cancer of thyroid gland proper).

Sebaceous carcinoma (SC) is a rare tumor, accounting for approximately 0.7% of skin cancers. SC can be classified as ocular SC (OSC) or extraocular SC (EOSC) depending on its location. Because EOSC accompanied by metastases is rare, there is a paucity of data about EOSC accompanied by metastasis. This study presents a case of an aggressive EOSC of the scalp with lymph node metastases. The patient underwent wide local excision of the primary tumor with a 1 cm safety margin and bilateral radical lymph node dissection. However, recurrence was observed 1 month after surgery. Radiation therapy and resection were performed for the recurrent tumor. However, distant metastases to both lungs eventually occurred. Here, we describe a rare recurrent case of EOSC of the scalp with distant organ metastasis with a review of the literature.

Spindle cell carcinoma (SpCC) is referred to as a variant of oral squamous cell carcinoma. It is also known as "sarcomatoid squamous cell carcinoma" because it consists of normal squamous carcinoma cells with spindle-shaped cells that appear similar to a sarcoma. The term, "second primary tumor" (SPT) or "double primary tumor", is proposed for a second tumor that develops independently from the first. SPTs can present as either synchronous or metachronous lesions. Synchronous SPTs are defined as tumors occurring simultaneously or within 6 months after the first tumor. The patient in this case, whose primary tumor was in the tongue, was diagnosed with SpCC with metastases to both neck lymph nodes. This case also exhibited a second primary cancer as a synchronous lesion in the thyroid gland, which is uncommon. All carcinomas, both in the tongue and thyroid gland, were removed surgically, and especially in the tongue, an anterolateral thigh free flap was performed successfully to replace the defect.

A 62-year-old female patient had goiter for twenty years. She visited out-patient clinic with a hoarse voice and intermittent breathing difficulties. About protruding 15cm sized mass located the anterior neck and right vocal cord paralysis was observed. Preoperative CT scan was strongly suspected of thyroid gland cancer and cervical lymph node metastasis. Therefore, fine needle aspiration test was performed and surgical treatment was planned with the histopathologic results (papillary thyroid carcinoma). Surgery was performed with total thyroidectomy, bilateral cervical lymph node dissection, and right selective nodal lymph node dissection (level II-V). During operation right thyroid seemed to be adherent to surrounding tissue and the blood vessels were extremely engorged. There was hypotensive crisis because of intraoperative excessive bleeding. However it was managed by repetitive transfusion. The operation was completed without abnormalities. She underwent 4 times of bleeding control operation due to postoperative bleeding. After complications were improved, we are currently undergoing out-patient follow up without morbidity.

Warthin's tumor is a benign and slow growing tumor found exclusively in the parotid gland or the periparotid lymph nodes. It mostly affects males between the age of forty to seventy years and is closely related with smoking history. Between January 1981 and June 1996, 42 patients underwent surgical excision of Warthin's tumor of the parotid gland; which made up 10.6% of all parotid gland surgeries(398 cases) during the same period. Their ages ranged from 36 to 75 years with a mean age of 56 years. There were 33 male and 9 female patients with a 4.3 : 1 male to female ratio. The majority of the tumors were situated in the parotid tail whereas one was in the deep lobe. Bilateral simultaneous involvements of the parotid gland were found in 4 patients(9.5%) ; therefore total of 46 parotid glands were involved. Four(8.7%) of the 46 parotid glands had multifocal tumors ranginging from two to three lumps. Tumor sizes varied from 1.5 to 6.0cm with mean diameter of 3.lcm. Of the 42 patients, 26(61.9%) were diagnosed preoperatively or peroperatively by means of CT scans, ultrasound, 99m-Tc. scan, fine needle aspiration cytology or intraoperative frozen section biopsy. Of the 46 tumors, 30 underwent a superficial(n=29) or total(n=1) parotidectomy and for 16 cases with tumors suspected preoperatively or peroperatively of being single Warthin's tumor, only enucleation was performed. No cases of recurrence were identified during the follow up period regardless of type of operation performed, however the postoperative complication rate was much higher in the parotidectomy group(33.3%) than in the enucleation only group(12.5%). We feel that an enucleation procedure may be appropriate for the patients with single Warthin's tumor.

Adrenal metastasis from papillary thyroid carcinoma is extremely rare. We present herein a patient with adrenal metastases from recurrent papillary carcinoma of the thyroid. A 54 year-old woman had received a total thyroidectomy and postoperative radioactive iodine therapy for locally advanced papillary thyroid carcinoma. One year after initial surgery, distant metastases to multiple organs including right cervical lymph nodes, left upper lung, left 2nd and 3rd ribs, 2nd thoracic vertebra and left adrenal gland were found by 18-FDG-PET-CT whole body scan. She underwent right modified neck dissection, partial resection of left 2nd and 3rd ribs, posterior arch of 2nd thoracic vertebra, left upper lobectomy of lung, and left adrenalectomy. On histologic examination, metastases to the left adrenal gland and cervical lymph nodes were papillary thyroid carcinomas, while other metastatic sites turned out to be anaplastic thyroid carcinomas. Despite aggressive surgery and postoperative adjuvant therapy, her general clinical conditions were getting worse day by day due to regrowing of the anaplastic thyroid carcinomas. To our knowledge, this is the first case reported in Korea.

Purpose: Salivary duct carcinoma(SDC) is uncommon but high grade adenocarcinoma arising in the ductal epithelium of salivary glands. SDC is characterized by distinctive clinical and pathologic features. The most important histologic aspect of this neoplasm is its resemblance to ductal carcinoma of the breast. Clinically SDC is defined by cervical lymph node involvement and distant metastasis with a high rate of recurrence and mortality. We described some of the clinical and pathological features of SDC and the management using case report for our patient. Methods: We present a case of a 40-year-old male with 2-year history of a swelling arising in his left preauricular region. There was a single painless, firm and solid $2{\times}1.5cm$ mass in the left parotid area. Facial nerve function was intact and no cervical lymph node were palpable. In August 2005, we found out $1.7{\times}1.8cm$ sized cystic, nodular lesions that were located in the superficial lobe of left parotid gland through Computed tomography. And then superficial parotidectomy and postoperative radiation therapy were performed in Jan 2007. Results: Pathologically, the specimen were consisted of homogeneous, chondoid to myxoid type of tissues. It was yellow mass that has multiloculated cystic lesions. In postoperative PET(Positiron emission tomography) CT, there was no evidence of uptaking FDG(Fluorodeoxyglucose) into the deep layers of parotid gland and distant metastasis were not seen. Conclusion: Salivary duct carcinoma(SDC) is a rare but high grade adenocarcinoma related to pleomorphic adenocarcinoma. The prognosis of SDC can be different according to the type of tumor such as mucoepidermoid adenocarcinoma, adenoid duct carcinoma and acinar cell carcinoma. So we need to study more carefully for accurate diagnosis in early stage of diagnosis. Although radiotherapy has not yet proven to be a significant factor in overall survival, the combination of parotidectomy and postoperative radiation therapy can lead to more favorable results in treating of SDC.
