We undertake the task of studying non-linear dynamics quantum gravity motivated alternatives to black holes that in classical limit appear as ultra-compact shells matter. develop a formalism should be amenable numerical solution generic situations. For concrete model we focus on spherically symmetric AdS bubble -- shell matter at Buchdahl radius separating Schwarzschild exterior from an interio...

Extra prostatic extension (EPE) is of the important features to evaluate in pathological assessment of radical prostatectomy specimens. Despite the uncomplicated definition of presence of neoplastic glands outside the prostatic boundary, diagnosing EPE is not always straightforward, the main reason being absence of true capsule around prostate gland. Other confounding findings include intracaps...

A broad spectrum of lesions, including hyperplastic, metaplastic, inflammatory, infectious, and reactive, may mimic cancer all along the urinary tract. This narrative collects most them from a clinical pathologic perspective, offering urologists general pathologists their salient definitory features. Together with classical, well-known, entities such as urothelial papillomas (conventional (UP) ...

BACKGROUND Actinomycosis is a rare suppurative disease that may mimic other inflammatory conditions on imaging. Its invasive nature may lead to mass formation and atypical presentation thus making accurate diagnosis quite difficult. PURPOSE To describe the different aspects of abdominopelvic actinomycosis on cross-sectional imaging and indicate discriminative findings from other inflammatory ...

Background Accurate diagnosis of ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is complicated by the presence of mimickers such as pericarditis, one of the most common reasons for (negative) emergency cardiac catheterization. Beyond common electrocardiogram (ECG) criteria for pericarditis, a rule of ST segment elevation in lead II greater than lead III (II > III), has been described in literatures...

Renal oncocytoma (RO) can rarely present with a multilocular or tubulocystic growth pattern that may cause significant diagnostic difficulties with a variety of cystic renal cell carcinomas (RCC). Distinguishing these RO variants from their many RCC mimickers is critical because of its typical benign clinical course. Herein, we report a case of RO with extensive tubulocystic architectures on a ...

OBJECTIVE To describe the imaging findings of primary and secondary pancreatic malignant lymphoma on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), to help differentiate lymphoma of the pancreas from primary adenocarcinoma and autoimmune pancreatitis among others, and to discuss a few atypical presentations of pancreatitis mimicking lymphoma. CONCLUSION Knowledge of these imaging manifestations of lymphom...

Massive localized lymphedema (MLL) is a rare pseudosarcomatous lesion due to localized lymphatic obstruction from variable causes. It is most common on medial aspect of thigh and inguinal region. Abdominal localization is rare and may cause clinical diagnostic confusion with other malignant tumors due to its large size. We report a case of abdominal wall MLL of a 56-year-old male patient under ...
