The purpose of this study is to identify clinicopathologic factors and/or preoperative MRI vascular patterns in the prediction ischemia necrosis nipple-areola complex (NAC) or skin flap post nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM).We performed a retrospective analysis 441 NSM procedures from January 2011 September 2021 breast cancer database at our institution. NAC was evaluated correlation with and types incision. Patients who received evaluation were further for relationship between pattern impact...
Objective To investigate the association between diabetes and latent tuberculosis infections (LTBI) in high TB incidence areas. Design Community-based comparison study. Setting Outpatient clinics at 4 hospitals 13 health centres urban rural townships. A community-based screening programme was used to recruit non-diabetic participants. Participants total of 2948 patients with aged older than 40 years were recruited, 453 participants from community enrolled. Primary secondary outcome measures...
Abstract Background Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is the standard of care for axillary staging in early breast cancer patients with low-burden metastasis (≤ 2 positive nodes). This study aimed to determine diagnostic performances 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and magnetic resonance imaging detecting (ALN) metastases reliability predict ALN burden. Methods A total 275 primary operable receiving preoperative PET/CT upfront surgery...
BACKGROUND:Acute phlegmonous esophagogastritis is a life-threatening disease that may be combined with serious complications. We present the classical radiological and endoscopic features treatment strategy of middle-aged female patient suffering from acute complicated hypopharyngeal abscess, esophageal perforation, mediastinitis, empyema. CASE REPORT:A 60-year-old Taiwanese presented at our hospital due to fever, fatigue, painful swallowing, vague chest pain for 5 days. She had past history...
Computed tomography (CT)-guided transthoracic lung biopsy is a common procedure for the diagnosis of pulmonary lesion. Pneumothorax, hemorrhage and hemoptysis are most complications procedure. Air embolism rare serious complication. We reported case with air related acute ischemic stroke non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) simultaneously after percutaneous biopsy.
In this study, we assessed the diagnostic accuracy of breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for evaluation malignant invasion nipple-areolar complex (NAC). Patients with primary operable cancer who underwent preoperative MRI and received surgery during January 2011 to December 2013 were collected. The potential factors in predicting nipple evaluated by comparing postoperative histopathologic findings. consistency interobservers' variances across different radiologists was also compared....
We described a case of lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma (LELC) the lung 65-year-old man with initial symptoms intermittent chest pain and mild shortness breath for 2 weeks. A right-lung mass was noted on computed tomography (CT) scan proved histopathologically as LELC after video-assisted thorascopic lobectomy. He successfully treated lobectomy postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy is alive without signs recurrence 36 months diagnosis. It important clinicians, pathologists, radiologists to...
We hypothesized that different BMI might have impact on pre-operative MRI axillary lymph node (ALN) prediction accuracy and thereby subsequent surgical management. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect presentation, treatment, performance characteristics breast cancer with main focus ALN metastasis evaluation.The medical records patients primary invasive who had underwent resection were retrospectively reviewed. They categorized into 3 groups in study: underweight (BMI < 18.5),...
Abstract Background The optimal axillary lymph node (ALN) management strategy in patients diagnosed with ductal carcinoma situ (DCIS) preoperatively remains controversial. value of breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to predict ALN metastasis pre-operative DCIS was evaluated. Methods Patients primary or without MRI evaluation and underwent surgery were recruited from single institution. for evaluation, predictors surgeries, upgrade invasive cancer, analyzed. Results A total 682 cases...
The value and utility of axillary lymph node (ALN) evaluation with MRI in breast cancer were not clear for various intrinsic subtypes. aim the current study is to test potential combining clinicopathologic factors identify low-risk groups ALN metastasis improve diagnostic performance.Patients primary operable invasive pre-operative post-operative pathologic reports retrospectively collected from January 2009 December 2021 a single institute. concordance pathology status determined, also...
Pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma is an uncommon benign tumor of the lung; however, on rare occasions it can arise from pulmonary hilar region. Herein, we report a 53-year-old female patient who presented with round opacity in right upper lung field radiograph. Chest computed tomography scanning revealed 3.1 cm mass hilum. Thoracoscopic excision was subsequently performed. On pathohistologic study, well defined and composed stromal cells surface arranged papillary, sclerotic, solid,...
Background: Robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy (R-NSM), which uses the da Vinci surgical platform (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, CA, USA), could perform NSM and immediate breast reconstruction through small inconspicuous extramammary axillary incision. Its application in management of early cancer or risk-reducing had been reported some series a growing number R-NSM were performed worldwide. The authors would like to present single-center experience as well review current literature....
There have been few case reports which discuss a relationship between warfarin overdose and aortic pseudoaneurysm leakage. We report the of female receiving who presented with dsypnea. Her international normalized ratio was > 10. Chest radiograph revealed cardiomegaly, chest computed tomography (CT) showed bulging pouch-like lesion below arch greater than 6x6 cm in size fluid collection suggesting blood pericardium. Thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair (TEVAR) successfully performed by...
BACKGROUND Kasabach-Merritt syndrome is a potentially fatal disease that consists of hemangioma(s) with thrombocytopenia, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, and coagulopathy. Extensive hemangiomatosis rare. We present the radiological features treatment strategy young adult suffering from widespread hemangiomas an infected huge hematoma in right thigh. CASE REPORT A 33-year-old Taiwanese male presented painful 20-cm mass over his thigh gross hematuria for 2 days. Hemangiomatosis was...
An isolated spontaneous dissection of the visceral arteries is rare in absence a concurrent aorta, iatrogenic injury from instrumentation, or trauma. Spontaneous artery, including superior mesenteric inferior and celiac artery (CA) without aortic dissection, an uncommon occurrence. The CA least commonly reported. We describe with aneurysm formation. It was identified by multidetector computed tomography (CT) man acute onset abdominal pain history hypertension hyperlipidemia. patient...
A 4-year-old girl presented with intermittent abdominal pain and frequent vomiting later bile contents for 2 days. No history of blunt injury can be traced. The initial clinical impression was upper gastrointestinal obstruction a series examinations were performed including an series, endoscopy CT. Because unimproved condition week later, surgery evacuation the hematoma, which revealed diverticulum. pathological diagnosis diverticulitis. child recovered uneventfully after surgery.
