AIM To evaluate whether there was any correlation between the clinical parameters and final pathological results among patients who underwent thyroid surgery. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed parameters, including age, sex, complete blood cell count parameters, nodule diameter, nodule localization, thyroid function testing, and pathology reports, in patients who underwent thyroid surgery. ...

hepatic calcification is usually associated with infectious, vascular, or neoplastic processes in the liver. we report the first case of beta-thalassemia major with isolated diffuse hepatic calcification in a 23 year old woman, who had been transfusion-dependent since the age of 6 months. she was referred to our center with a chief complaint of abdominal pain. computed tomography scan of the ab...

Abstract Background A calcified amorphous tumour (CAT) is a non-neoplastic mass lesion arising within the cardiac chamber. CATs are rare but common cause of organ embolism. In present study, we experienced case an intracardiac with calcification that, in contrast to typical CAT, suddenly appeared and rapidly expanded without inflammatory response based on pathological findings. Case summary 58-...

BILATERAL cortical necrosis of the kidneys is a rare pathological lesion. It usually follows some complication of pregnancy such as eclampsia. There has been only one case report where the lesion was seen at autopsy of a patient who died of uraemia after a snakebite (Azevedo & Teixeira, 1938). Oram, Ross, Pell & Winteler (1963) have described calcification of both renal cortices in a patient wh...

In 1967, we operated on a patient for cervical cord compression caused by an unusual type of ectopic bone formation in the spinal canal which we tentatively identified as ossification within the posterior longitudinal ligament. Until that time we had believed that calcification of the vertebral ligaments is a phenomenon secondary to spondylosis (Oppenheimer, 1942) and does not cause symptoms by...

PURPOSE To describe the clinical and pathological features of a case of hydrogel intraocular lens (IOL) calcification. CASE REPORT A 48-year-old man underwent explantation of a single-piece hydrophilic acrylic intraocular lens in his left eye because of decreased visual acuity and milky white opalescence of the IOL. The opacified lens was exchanged uneventfully with a hydrophobic acrylic IOL....

Soft tissue calcinosis is a common radiographic finding, which may be related to different types of pathological processes. Multimodality imaging, combined with analysis of clinical and laboratory data, plays an important role for the differential diagnosis of these conditions. Conventional radiography is considered the first line approach to soft tissue calcinosis; CT and MRI may provide furth...
