Sclerosing mesenteritis is primarily diagnosed through histologic and radiologic evaluation; however, only a few works provide a systematic description using MRI. This work presents the case of a 68-year-old male, who was admitted for a routine cholecystectomy. Intraoperativly, a large mass was identified dislocating the abdominal viscera. The microscopic examination revealed vascular congestio...

Objectives: Growth evaluation methods have made great strides in the shift from radiologic to non-radiologic biomarkers. Osteocalcin (OC), a bone protein, has been reportedly used as biomarker for osteoblastic formation. The present study aimed at of serum OC Class II skeletal patterns accurate assessment pubertal growth spurt facilitate functional jaw orthopedics during period. Material and Me...

A 51-year-old woman was referred for evaluation of progressive dyspnea of 3 months- duration. She had received 3 doses of adalimumab for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis prior to the onset of her dyspnea. Her chest examination revealed absent diaphragmatic movement with inspiration. Spirometry showed a severe restrictive defect. Radiologic studies confirmed the diagnosis of bilateral diaphragm...

The surgical pathologist's role in the diagnosis of adverse pulmonary and pleural drug effect requires an appreciation of the clinico-radiologic scenario and particular knowledge of morphologic patterns of lung injury. Bronchoscopic biopsies may be helpful in some cases of DAD, eosinophilic pneumonia, or OP. Extrapolating patterns of lung involvement from small biopsies and cytologic preparatio...

Calcification or ossification of the auricle, also referred to as petrified ear, is a rare diagnosis in dermatology. In medical literature, it has most often been attributed to trauma, hypothermia and frostbite, or hypercalcemia secondary to a metabolic or endocrine disorder, such as Addison's disease. Here, we report the clinical and radiologic findings of a 79-year-old African American male w...

Ganglioneuromas (GNs) are well-differentiated, slow-growing, benign tumors that are quite rare and usually found in the posterior mediastinum and retroperitoneum. They are composed of ganglion and Schwann cells and their origin remains in dispute. GNs have been reported as intraosseous lesions, such as in temporal and orbital bones. There are rare reports of intracranial lesions, mostly in the ...

Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is a hypersensitivity disorder induced by Aspergillus fumigatus that occurs generally in patients with underlying chronic airway disorders. However, the development of ABPA associated with lung malignancy remains unknown. An 80-year-old woman was admitted for evaluation of chronic cough. Her radiologic finding was a mass like opacity with mucoid im...

A rare case of imperforate hymen associated with bicornuate uterus in an infant is presented as a cause of bilateral hydroureteronephrosis and pelvic mass in infancy. The importance of postoperative radiologic evaluation for diagnosis of accompanying uterine abnormalities is introduced. A 8-month-old girl with restlessness and intermittent fever was brought to the daily outpatient clinic by her...

Bing Neel Syndrome (BNS) is defined as direct central nervous system involvement of Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia. BNS is usually a late event, although an incidence of 30% to 36% has been described in large series of previously untreated patients. A wide variety of clinical manifestations and radiologic findings for BNS have been reported in published data, depending on the site and type of ...

We report two cases of cleidocranial dysplasia, which was managed without significant craniofacial osteotomy. A mother and daughter, both of normal intelligence, presented with central forehead depression, mid-face hypoplasia, and blepharoptosis. The fact that they have an identically deformed face implied a genetic basis. In both patients, radiologic evaluation revealed the underdeveloped maxi...
