Meningioangiomatosis is regarded as a rare benign hamartomatous condition mostly involving the cerebral cortex and overlying leptomeninges. A strong association of MA with neurofibromatosis type 2 has been documented in published articles. Herein we report a case of an otherwise healthy 13-year-old boy with no family history or stigmata of neurofibromatosis who presented with intractable seizur...

A rare clinical presentation of cerebral amyloid angiopathy is reported. Our patient presented with the clinical and radiological signs of a right frontal mass lesion suggesting a brain tumor, and a biopsy provided the diagnosis of cerebral amyloid angiopathy. A brief review of the pathology and clinical features of cerebral amyloid angiopathy is presented.

Sarcoidosis is a granulomatous disorder of unknown aetiology affecting many systems, including the lungs and mediastinal lymph nodes. The usual manifestations of sarcoidosis on the chest radiograph are well known. Although the bronchial mucosa is often affected in sarcoidosis, endobronchial mass lesions are extremely rare.' Endobronchial lesions are most often due to bronchogenic carcinoma and ...

Respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartoma (REAH) is a rare and nonneoplastic lesion of upper respiratory tract characterized by an abnormal mixture of tissues which are peculiar to the involved anatomic region. The most common site reported is nasal cavity and its nasopharyngeal origin is extremely rare. The lesion can be confused with a variety of benign and malignant entities. In this arti...

Glomus tumor is a rare, predominantly benign, soft tissue tumor. The lower respiratory tract is an uncommon site of origin of glomus tumor, so endobronchial glomus tumor is extremely rare. Such tumors are mostly benign and identified incidentally on imaging. Diagnosis is confirmed by immunohistochemical staining, and resection is the treatment of choice. We report a middle-age female with endob...

We report a rare complication of transbronchial lung biopsy. A lung abscess developed after transbronchial biopsy of a peripheral mass lesion. Persistent fever, leukocytosis, and roentgenographic evidence of increase in size of the biopsied mass are useful clues for the diagnosis of pneumonia surrounding a tumor.

Both intraosseous and microcystic meningiomas are rare tumor types. We report the case of a 66-year-old woman with intraosseous microcystic meningioma without a mass lesion. She presented with a rare intraosseous microcystic meningioma manifesting as pain. Radiological examination revealed an osteolytic lesion in the right parietal bone. Magnetic resonance (MR) images showed iso- to hypointensi...
