BACKGROUND We report an unusual case of a 66-year-old female with a suspicious thoracic outlet mass presenting with severe biochemical hyperparathyroidism and classic hypercalcemic symptoms of renal and bone involvement. CASE PRESENTATION There was clinical suspicion for parathyroid carcinoma, further supported by intra-operative findings. However, the final pathology described a primary hype...

Lacquer cracks are thought to represent healed mechanical breaks in the retinal pigment epithelium, Bruch's membrane, and choriocapillaris complex. In this study, we analyzed the indocyanine green (ICG) angiographic features of lacquer cracks and compared them with findings using fluorescein angiography. Complete ophthalmologic examinations, fluorescein angiography, and ICG angiography were per...

Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare neoplasm characterized by abnormal proliferation of histiocytic cells. In this case report, we describe a unique case of a 13-year-old boy who presented to the clinic with an insidious onset of mid-clavicular pain. The provisional radiologic diagnosis of Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis of the clavicle was confirmed by an incisional biopsy of the left ...

An inflammatory pseudotumor is a rare benign lesion consisting of fibrous tissue and inflammatory cells. Although it can appear anywhere in the body, the most common site for this lesion is the lung.1 The hepatic counterpart was first described in 1953 by Pack and Baker.2 Since then only about 50 cases have been reported in the literature.3 The clinical and pathologic features have been well de...

Congenital granular cell lesion (CGCL) or congenital epulis is an uncommon benign of the oral cavity tumor appearing at birth with typical clinical and pathologic features. It predominately affects females, mainly on the anterior maxillary alveolar ridge, and occurs usually as a single mass, although sometimes as multiple. The left side incisor area is the most common site. The etiology and his...

A 51-year-old womanwith epigastric pain and weight loss underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy following admission to our hospital. The endoscopy revealed a large polypoid mass with a thick stalk at the gastric antrum. Endoscopic ultrasound showed a 3-cm, hypoechoic, homogeneous lesion with indistinct margins originating from the submucosal layer, without involvement of the muscularis propr...

Introduction: Aneurysmal bone cyst is a rare, non-neoplastic lesion affecting the metaphysis of long bones and vertebrae, characterized by blood-filled spaces separated fibrous septae. Aims objectives: In this study, we present case an aneurysmal in 7-year-old child with characteristic X-ray findings to increase awareness as early diagnosis treatment can limit disability. An benign neoplastic s...

The primary aim of the study was to evaluate role [18F]Fluciclovine PET/CT in characterization intra-prostatic lesions high-risk PCa patients eligible for radical prostatectomy, comparison with conventional [11C]Choline and validated by prostatectomy pathologic examination. Secondary aims were determine performance PET semi-quantitative parameters (SUVmax; target-to-background ratios [TBRs], us...

Carbon monoxide intoxication is a known cause of damage to the central nervous system. The distribution of pathologic changes has been described [1, 2]. The characteristic CT changes have been described as symmetric lucencies in the globus pallidus and centrum semiovale [3]. We recently encountered a case of proven carbon monoxide intoxication in which the pallidal lesion was unilateral and the...

Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) is a relatively new imaging modality that allows assessment of anterior segment structures. AS-OCT enables the differentiation of benign and malignant tumors through the evaluation of lesion size, internal structure, degree of vascularity, and anterior and posterior surfaces. Herein, we discuss the AS-OCT findings of a patient with spindle ...
