Female neonate admitted to our hospital with an abdominal mass and a thigh mass that were connected as a single dumbbell-shaped mass. CT was done on admission that showed cystic swelling in the thigh with intra-abdominal extension passing under inguinal ligament, most probably lymphangioma. The patient was assessed and prepared for surgery starting with the abdominal part then after two days fo...

A case of post-traumatic arteriovenous fistula in the left thigh is reported 25 years after injury with haematuria. The patient had sustained bullet injury in his left thigh in 1986. Clinically, he had thrill and bruit in his left thigh and groin. Ultrasound abdomen and pelvis revealed a vascular mass in the left side of urinary bladder. CT angiography showed communication between left superfic...

Unilateral hypertrophy of the tensor fasciae latae (TFL) is an uncommon radiologic finding that may present as a palpable soft tissue mass in thigh. Accurate diagnosis can circumvent unnecessary biopsy for this benign finding. We report two cases unilateral muscles, both which presented proximal thigh mass. provide examples sonographic, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (...

Knee extension strength (KES) improves following body mass-based lower body exercise training; however, it is unknown whether this type of exercise increases handgrip strength (HGS) as a result of a cross-education effect in older individuals. Our aim was to investigate the effect of a body mass-based exercise intervention on HGS and KES in older adults. At baseline, 166 subjects started a 12-w...

In this article, we present a 21-year-old male patient who presented with swelling and pain located to right lower thigh and knee. Physical examination and subsequent diagnostic work-up revealed a pseudoaneurysm associated with an osteochondroma at lower thigh. This complication should be considered in young patients with a mass at knee and lower thigh region.

BACKGROUND Psoas abscess is a rare condition consisting of pyomyositis of the psoas. The worldwide incidence was 12 cases per 100,000 per year in 1992, but the current incidence is unknown. Psoas abscess can descend along the psoas sheath and reach the inner upper third of the thigh, but only infrequently does it penetrate the sheath and involve the thigh adductors. Because of insidious clinica...

purpose the aim of this study was to investigate the relation between anthropometric variables and total race time including split times in 184 recreational male ironman triathletes. methods body mass, body height, body mass index, lengths and circumferences of imbs, thicknesses of skin-folds, sum of skin-fold thicknesses, and percent body fat were related to total race time including split tim...

OBJECTIVES Muscle volume in patients with muscle disease is an index of disease progression. The aim of this study was to demonstrate a new method of muscle volumetry using CT of thigh muscles. DESIGN Observational study. PARTICIPANTS (1) For muscle volumetry using CT and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), 13 patients with muscle disease participated. (2) For prospective CT volumetry, ...

thin smooth walls of varying sizes. However, the male sex prompted us to exclude a more sinister cause for the lesions [2], and upon further questioning the patient had complained of right thigh pain for several weeks. Examination revealed a fixed soft tissue mass in the mid-thigh. Histology from the thigh mass biopsy and bilateral video-assisted thoracic surgery bullectomy [3] confirmed pulmon...
