Suboptimal patient management can occur when malignant soft tissue tumors with internal hemorrhage masquerade as simple hematomas. We retrospectively reviewed 31 patients with malignancies who had diagnostic delays averaging 6.7 months (range, 1.0-49.3 months). The diagnoses included soft tissue sarcomas (27), metastatic cancers (three), and lymphoma (one). History of subcutaneous ecchymosis wa...

Background and Purpose—It has been speculated that the same type of hypertensive small-artery disease can cause either intracerebral hemorrhages or ischemic lesions, depending on the circumstances. Methods—To test this hypothesis, we examined the association between spontaneous intracerebral hematomas and both small chronic hemorrhages and ischemic lesions using echo planar and T2-weighted MRI....

Abstract Background Interventricular septal hematoma is an extremely rare complication following congenital heart surgery. During cardiac surgery, interventricular hematomas can be detected only by intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography. Here, we report interesting case of that was accidentally found in infant ventricular defect (VSD) closure. Case presentation Transesophageal echocard...
