We report a resected case of sternal intraosseous schwannnoma mimicking late recurrence of breast cancer.A 60-year-old Japanese woman with a history of breast cancer was diagnosed as having a sternal tumor by chest computed tomography (CT) demonstrating a round, well-defined, low-density nodule measuring...

Ventricular Tachycardia To the Editor: The ECG from the article by Srikureja et al1 that adorns the cover of the September 12, 2000, issue of Circulation is a striking example of a tremor-induced artifact mimicking a serious arrhythmia. On this occasion, the apparent arrhythmia was ventricular tachycardia and led to the patient’s admission to the coronary care unit, although, in my experience, ...

We reviewed 10 patients with symptomatic malunion of a carpal scaphoid fracture. All had displacement with dorsiflexed intercalated segment instability, and suffered from pain, restricted range of movement at the wrist and decreased grip strength. The restriction of flexion-extension and the decreased grip strength correlated with the severity of the DISI deformity. Seven patients had a correct...
متن کاملSymptomatic sternal metastasis mimicking cardiac angina discovered by Tc-99m sestamibi myocardial perfusion scintigraphy.
Tc-99m sestamibi has been reported to accumulate in several tissues with increased metabolism and particularly in solid tumors. Although the clinical utility of this radiopharmaceutical has been described in primary breast cancer and its axillary involvement, it has not been fully evaluated in local recurrence or distant metastasis. We illustrate the case of a post-mastectomy patient in whom Tc...
