This study reports on a case of lymphoma in a 13-year-old patient who came to a consultation with lumbar pain. The patient had suffered low-intensity trauma in the lumbar region that resulted in persistent pain of progressive nature. In an emergency evaluation, radiographic examination showed a spinal fracture. The patient was then sent to the specialist outpatient clinic of the same hospital. ...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the clinical, pathological, and sonographic characteristics of unexpected gallbladder carcinoma (UGC). METHODS Of 5424 patients who had undergone cholecystectomy from December 2006 to October 2013, 54 patients with primary gallbladder carcinomas confirmed by pathological diagnosis were identified. The patients were divided into two groups: diagnosed before operation ...

A mass lesion developed in the right atrium at the site of a trans-septal puncture after percutaneous balloon dilatation of the mitral valve in a man aged 74. The lesion had the pathological appearance of an atrial myxoma and seemed to have developed after trauma to the intra-atrial septum. This case suggests that at least some atrial myxomas are reactive rather than neoplastic in origin.

We report a 65-year-old patient with a gastric polyp of 2.5 cm in diameter located at the cardia on upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy. Pathological examination of the excised polyp showed intramucosal carcinoma. Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) reported the lesion as early gastric carcinoma with probable submucosal involvement. On serial sections of the gastrectomy material, the lesion was ...

We report an unusual case of a true atherosclerotic dorsalis pedis aneurysm in a relatively young (53-year-old), ex-semi-professional soccer player patient. This lesion is a rare entity and due to its location may require surgical intervention and removal. The presentation, the diagnostic evaluation, and the surgical treatment of the aneurysm are discussed. Pathological analysis did confirm ath...

Two cases of brain stem stroke involving the upper pons and the ponto-mesencephalic junction presented with transient excessive pathological yawning, associated with gait ataxia and in one subject with upper limb and facial hemiparesis. A causal relation is hypothesised between the brain stem lesion and pathological yawning, possibly related to denervation hypersensitivity of a putative brain s...

Benign papillary mesothelioma of the peritoneum is an uncommon lesion that is usually discovered by chance during a surgical procedure. This lesion resembles metastatic carcinoma in gross appearance; therefore, intraoperative diagnosis can be difficult. This report presents a case of benign papillary mesothelioma concurrent with gastric cancer. The tumor was located on the hepatogastric ligamen...

Third ventricle tumors are uncommon central nervous system lesions and unusual locations for metastatic colorectal cancer. We present a case of a 68 year old woman with a solitary 3rd ventricle lesion found on a computed tomography scan of the brain and the synchronous mass of the right colon. The aim in this case was local control of cerebral lesion with pathological diagnosis. Surgery was fol...

It has been emphasized by Sheehan (1948) that the criterion for the diagnosis of hypopituitarism is destruction of the anterior pituitary, the most frequent cause being post-partum necrosis. Hypopituitarism in the male is relatively uncommon. Escamilla and Lisser (1942), in a survey of 101 " typical clinical cases with pathological verification," found only 35 in the male. The following case, w...

Müllerianosis is an embryonic Müllerian disease, resulting in the formation of the benign diseases adenomyosis, endometriosis, endosalpingiosis, and endocervicosis. Endocervicosis primarily affects the bladder, and rarely the cervix. Cervical endocervicosis, which is also a pseudoneoplastic glandular lesion, could be misinterpreted as a premalignant or even a malignant lesion. Because the treat...
