A simple bone cyst of the proximal humeral metaphysis was found to cause growth disturbance with shortening and deformity in four patients. All had one pathological fracture. Three of them were treated with cortisone injections; the fourth patient, who presented an erosion of the physis, was treated with saline solution irrigation. Four hypotheses about the aetiology of growth arrest in the evo...

A female Shetland sheep dog died suddenly with hemorrhagic diarrhea and vomitting, and was examined pathologically and microbiologically. Gross pathological change was restricted to the intestinal tract. The intestine contained watery, blood-stained fluid. Histopathologically, the principal intestinal lesion was superficial mucosal hemorrhagic necrosis at the jejunoileum. Many Gram-positive bac...

∗ Corresponding author. E-mail address: [email protected] (A. Coca-Pelaz). sulcus. Biopsy of the lesion led to the diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma. A computed tomography (CT) scan of the lesion showed no pathological adenopathies and, as an incidental finding, confirmed the presence of the left internal carotid artery in an anomalous position, submucosa at the level of the cavum, medial ...

A 26-year-old man was admitted to our clinic with approximately 8 years history of hearing loss on the right side. The pathological findings were not found in the neuro-otological examination. Severity sensorinoral hearing loss (SNHL) was determined on the pure tone audiometry. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) were shown that the lipomatous lesion involved right...

A 26-year-old male presented with a left upper abdominal mass of one year's duration. Ultrasonography revealed a cystic lesion arising from the lower pole of the spleen. Total splenectomy was done and pathological examination of the cyst confirmed a true cyst with mesothelial lining without squamous metaplasia. The epithelial linings of these true cysts ranged from flattened low cuboidal, low c...

Objective: Describe for the first time the clinical, epidemiological features of vulvar cancer in southwest China. Identify risk factors and provide reference for the prevention of vulvar cancer. Method: We retrospectively analyzed 885 patients admitted to the West China Second University Hospital for vulvar diseases between 2006 and 2016. Vulvar cancer patients with previously diagnosed vulvar...

CASE REPORT A 54 year old woman with pathological myopia, presented with an elevated, yellowish-white lesion at the inferior border of the myopic conus in her left eye. The optical coherence tomography (OCT) demonstrated an intrachoroidal hyporeflective space. The fluorescein angiography examination (FA) showed early hypofluorescence with delayed staining, with no leakage of contrast. DISCUSS...

While the use of anti epileptic drugs (AEDs) for a long period is a known risk factor for bone loss and pathological fractures, yet the physicians are not yet sensitized to this possibility. It is now believed that the patients who have fractures due to long-term treatment with anticonvulsants have osteomalacia as the predominant lesion. This has been attributed to the alterations in the levels...

OBJECTIVES Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) has been suggested as a new promising tool in MS that may provide greater pathological specificity than conventional MRI, helping, therefore, to elucidate disease pathogenesis and monitor therapeutic efficacy. However, the pathological substrates that underpin alterations in brain tissue diffusivity are not yet fully delineated. Tract-specific DTI analy...

DESPITE Steindler's (1959) admirable lectures on the subject, pain in orthopiedic practice remains a difficult problem. To some extent the difficulty is exaggerated by the adoption of diagnoses based on pathological processes which are insusceptible of proof-diagnoses for which it is impossible to establish an association between symptoms and their alleged origin, let alone a direct causal link...
