Suprascapular Lipoblastoma Extending in to the Thorax

Lipoblastoma is a rare benign soft-tissue neoplasm that occurs most commonly in children less than 3 year of age. We present a case of left suprascapular lipoblastoma in an 11-month-old boy which grew into the thorax and was approached by thoracoscopy. In this case thoracoscopic approach was the best option to reach the intrathoracic component of the mass in the apex of the left side of the chest.

Burkitt’s Lymphoma: Thorax to Pelvis.

Burkitt’s lymphoma is a sub-group of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma of high-grade with an aggressive clinical course and is composed of diffuse, small and non-cleaved, undifferentiated malignant cells of lymphoid origin. Dennis Burkitt first described this entity in 1956 in equatorial Africa. It is one of the fastest growing cancers in humans with a growth fraction close to 100%. It commonly occurs in ...

Thorax in ankylosing spondylitis.

Rigidity of the thorax in ankylosing spondylitis was first recognized as long ago as 1695, when Bernard Connor described a skeleton showing the characteristic rigidity of the thoracic cage and lumbar spine and concluded that respiration must have been greatly restricted during the life of the unfortunate sufferer. This astute observation remained the only one of its kind until Hilton Fagge (187...

Developmental changes in category-specific brain responses to numbers and letters in a working memory task

Neuroimaging studies have identified a common network of brain regions involving the prefrontal and parietal cortices across a variety of working memory (WM) tasks. However, previous studies have also reported category-specific dissociations of activation within this network. In this study, we investigated the development of category-specific activation in a WM task with digits, letters, and fa...
