PURPOSE To retrospectively compare pure pulmonary ground-glass opacity (GGO) nodules observed on thin-section computed tomography (CT) images with histopathologic findings. MATERIALS AND METHODS The institutional review board approved this study and waived informed consent. Histopathologic specimens were obtained from 53 GGO nodules in 49 patients. CT scans were assessed in terms of nodule si...

Clinically, may present an irregular, firm, palpable mass, which be solitary or multiple, occurring one both breasts. occurs most premenopausal women heterogeneously extremely dense breasts; mammography show focal asymme...

We present the case of a child with presumed total colonic Hirschsprung disease (HD) to highlight the problems the surgeon is likely to encounter if he/she relies on the appendix alone for histopathologic diagnosis. A newborn male infant, who was presumed to have total colonic aganglionosis when the appendix was found to be aganglionic at the time of initial exploratory laparoscopy, was managed...

In recent years, there have been published clinical reports dealing with cysts or tumors of the odontogenic character the extract of which revealed pathologic keratinizing or calcifying changes in the light of histopathologic examination Cl, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12). These pathologic changes are said to give quite different histopathologic findings from those of the radicular cyst, follicular cyst ...

OBJECTIVES To explore the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with gadolinium enhancement as a noninvasive method to image the extent of ablation after minimally invasive treatment. Minimally invasive methods for ablating prostatic tissue have emerged as a viable option in the treatment of prostate disease. As these devices enter the mainstream of patient care, imaging methods that verify t...

A 10-year-old boy was referred to us for evaluation of FUO accompanied with bone pain in both calves. Three hours after intravenous injection of 13 mCi of 99mTc-MDP, whole body scan in multiple spot views was performed. The scan showed symmetrical areas of diffusely increased tracer uptake in multiple long bones. Histopathologic evaluation confirmed osteosclrosis and fibrotic changes...
