One night, after finding out that a
skip lesion had been left behind during the first cancer surgery, my older sister came to me with furrowed brows, visibly concerned.
The tubal lesion is a
skip lesion. Cervical leiomyosarcoma is indicated by arrows.
* To establish whether the lesion is benign or malignant, presence of a lesion or
skip lesion in surgically suspicious tissue area.
The existence and localization of the
skip lesion was first confirmed by transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography.
No
skip lesion was noted at the time of laparotomy.
This finding lends support to the appendicial "
skip lesion" hypothesis.
Typical UC involves the rectum and extends proximally continuously without
skip lesion. However, several atypical features may lead to misdiagnosis as CD.
(4) CD is one of the most common inflammatory bowel diseases and is characterized by chronic, relapsing, remitting, inflammation that may have
skip lesions mainly in the small and large intestine.
On the other hand, the concern of possible malignant potential in CMPTs comes from focally destroyed alveolar structures, central fibrosis, proliferation along the alveolar walls, the existence of
skip lesions, the lack of encapsulation, the presence of a micropapillary pattern, and positive immunostaining for CEA.
Osteosarcomas may have
skip lesions, which are osseous or marrow metastasis within the same bone or adjacent bones in relation to the dominant lesion.
It is associated with increased local recurrence, possibly due to perineural
skip lesions or missed areas of positive margin [24, 25].
Simultaneous sites of disease may also represent more concerning pathology such as osteosarcoma with
skip lesions or other metastatic bone disease.
