A cyst in the breast containing a thick wall, internal septations, or solid intracystic component is defined as complex and cystic mass. These lesions carry malignant potential between 23-31% thus require further evaluation with biopsy [1]. We report six cases which patients were found to have mass, all of proven be cancers varying etiologies. also review literature on etiologies masses, including their clinical presentation, work-up, histopathologic immunochemistry findings, treatment, prognosis.
Catheter-related sheaths, formerly known as "fibrin sheaths," are the most common complications of central venous catheters. Although usually harmless, they can very rarely detach from wall against which were formed and embolize with effects ranging subclinical embolisms to death. This rare occurrence has only been described a few times in literature date, our knowledge, embolized sheath never directly visualized CT. We report case catheter-related embolization right pulmonary artery child,...
Fatty falciform ligament appendage torsion (F-FLAT) is a rare type of intraperitoneal focal fat infarction that involves fatty the ligament. It may cause severe pain, mimicking an acute abdomen, but typically self-limited and does not require hospitalisation or surgery. As infarction, it shares many same physiological, clinical radiological features epiploic appendagitis. To our knowledge, F-FLAT has previously been reported in patient following laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass...
The falcine sinus is a normal embryonic structure that situated between the 2 layers of falx cerebri and drains deep cerebral venous system into superior sagittal sinus. It normally involutes after birth uncommon in adults. Although it often an isolated incidental finding, can also be associated with number other conditions including but not limited to vein Galen arterial malformations (VGAM), atretic parietal cephaloceles, acrocephalosyndactyly (Apert syndrome), absence corpus callosum,...
Ectopic thymic tissue is an unusual finding that generally asymptomatic. We present a case series of five pediatric patients with cervical ectopic thymuses. In two patients, the was symptomatic, and in three it incidental finding. highlight need to include this anomaly differential diagnosis for neck mass. also propose observation, rather than surgical excision, as treatment choice asymptomatic thymus.
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common cause of in children. It characterized by inflammatory cell infiltration synovial membranes leading to synovitis and membrane thickening. Synovial chondromatosis rare sequela which foci cartilage develop within a joint capsule. We report case 35-month old boy who developed tumefactive hypertrophy hyperplasia that mimicked on MRI. The reactive synovium was arthroscopically excised patient's improved. Tumefactive mimicking MRI setting JIA,...
Fibromatosis colli, also known as ‘sternocleidomastoid tumour of infancy’ or ‘pseudotumour infancy’, is a rare condition involving fibrosis and swelling, ‘tumour’ the sternocleidomastoid muscle in newborns that typically occurs after traumatic delivery. Although usually self-limited, fibromatosis colli can lead to congenital muscular torticollis positional plagiocephaly due uneven forces on neonatal skull. Ultrasound diagnostic imaging modality choice prevent additional unnecessary intervention.
BACKGROUNDSymptomatic neonatal subdural hematomas usually result from head trauma incurred during vaginal delivery, most commonly instrument assistance.Symptomatic are rare in C-section deliveries that were not preceded by assisted delivery techniques.Although the literature is inconclusive, another possible cause of therapeutic hypothermia. CASE SUMMARYWe present a case term neonate who underwent whole-body cooling for hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy following an emergent prolonged...
Percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopy (PTCS) is a safe and effective treatment for obstructive biliary stones, when endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) unsuccessful or unavailable. Once percutaneous access gained into the tree by an interventional radiologist, ducts can be directly visualized any stones managed with lithotripsy, mechanical fragmentation, and/or extraction. We report case of 45-year-old man who sustained traumatic liver laceration associated bile duct...
Lipoblastomas are rare benign mesenchymal tumors comprised primarily mature adipocytes, which most commonly found in infants and children younger than 3 years. They usually the extremities, trunk, head, neck, retroperitoneum, although cases occurring scrotum have been reported. Due to its rarity, there is a relative paucity of literature describing imaging management. We present case scrotal lipoblastoma, discuss current strategies differentiate this adipocytic tumor from other more common...
Medial medullary syndrome (aka Dejerine syndrome) is a rare condition that develops following infarction of the medial medulla and classically defined by presence Dejerine's triad contralateral weakness in upper lower extremities, hemisensory loss vibration proprioception, ipsilateral tongue weakness. It typically caused occlusion vertebral artery or one its branches. We report case 6-year-old girl who suffered infarction, she was diagnosed with atypical syndrome. infarct leading to has not...
INTRODUCTION: ERCP is the gold standard to treat choledocolithiasis, though there are situations where unsuccessful and alternative treatments necessary. Percutaneous transhepatic choledoscopy (PTCS) a safe, minimally invasive option performed by interventional radiology (IR) that can avoid more like hepatic resection. CASE DESCRIPTION/METHODS: A 45-year-old man sustained traumatic liver laceration bile duct injury during military deployment in 2005. In 2011 he presented with right upper...
