BACKGROUND Sarcoidosis is a rare condition that is often misdiagnosed as malignant tumors due to the similar clinical manifestations and imaging findings. CASE PRESENTATION We encountered a 56-year-old Chinese woman who had a chief complaint of a persistent cough. The chest computer tomography (CT) revealed mediastinal and bilateral hilar lymph node enlargement, and positron emission tomograp...

BACKGROUND Robotic-assisted coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has been shown in short-term studies to increase patient satisfaction and to reduce surgical morbidity and recovery times. However, the long-term patency rate of robotic-assisted CABG is unknown. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess the long-term patency rate of robotic-assisted coronary artery bypass grafts. M...

Imaging procedures are a mainstream tool in the daily ENT workflow. Cochlear Implant patients are representing a special population with specific demands for imaging. There are different imaging techniques available for pre-operative evaluation, surgery and postoperative controls with different indications and consequences. High-resolution computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are ...

We report a case of inadvertent hoarseness after surgery for primary pulmonary amyloidosis. A 55-year-old male was transferred to our facility due to a lung mass. Chest computed tomography revealed a solitary pulmonary nodule. Positron emission tomography-computed tomography showed fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in the main mass and in the mediastinal lymph nodes. To confirm the pathology of the mas...

We report our experience with two cases of situs inversus totalis, both involving patients diagnosed with gastric cancer. These were a 52-year-old male with a preoperative staging of cT1bN0M0 and a 68-year-old male with a staging of cT2N0M0, both of whom underwent surgery. The former was found to have vascular anomalies in the preoperative computed tomography, so we performed a computed tomogra...

Although solitary fibrous tumor is the most common benign pleural tumor, it encountered incidentally and very rarely. A mass in chest wall was detected a computerized tomography taken due to COVID-19 infection 36-year-old female patient. The case with originating from parietal pleura treated video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. During epidemic, compute-rized of thorax, which frequently for lun...

Osteoid osteoma is a small, benign bone neoplasm that consists of a well-demarcated nidus surrounded by a reactive zone of sclerosis.1,2 It is of unknown etiology and accounts for approximately 10% of symptomatic benign bone tumors.3 Initial treatment of patients with osteoid osteoma consists of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).4 If the pain is unresponsive to medical therapy or if...

Prostate cancer is one of the most common tumors male urinary system and nearly causing any symptoms or signs in early stages. Complication as anemia has been rarely reported non-metastatic prostate cancer. We present herein an extremely rare case a local occurring 76-yearold man with complication severe anemia. As he was diagnosed cancer, presented rising hemoglobin level even down-regulated t...

HYPOTHESIS Currently, standard planning for hepatic resection is based on the schematic description of the functional anatomy of the liver according to Couinaud, and on the evaluation of 2-dimensional computed tomographic imaging of the liver. Recent developments in image-based computer assistance allow patients' individual functional liver anatomy to be computed from mathematical analysis of s...
