Central haemangioma, a "great mimicker" which, fortunately, is a relatively rare condition, may pose a lethal risk for the patient. The diagnosis may become apparent only during biopsy or tooth extraction, which poses a risk of lethal exsanguination; therefore a correct diagnosis is desirable before any biopsy is undertaken. The clinician may not anticipate the severe haemorrhage because of vag...

Microcolon (unused colon) is not a common problem in neonates. Radiographic contrast medium enema shows a small caliber colon. This report concerns 12 neonates with microcolon, all identified between January 1995 and June 1997 by contrast medium colon study. Gestational ages were between 28 to 38 weeks and birth body weight between 1,400 to 3,100 grams. Six neonates had jejunal atresia (50%), t...

The essential point of this analysis is that, although arterial deficiency was shown to be virtually useless as a diagnostic criterion for emphysema, it does not follow that use of other validated radiographic criteria for diagnosing and excluding emphysema, using conventional films, should be abandoned. Interested readers can find further detailed information in reference 1.

however there are few articles in describing the radiographic appearance of this entity. So we evaluated chest xray of 24 cases with radiologically proved round pneumonia in our hospital in a period of 12 years. Age, sex, clinical and radiological findings of location, number of lesion are evaluated. According to this study mean age of patients was 4 years old(1 month -11 years). 10 cases (42%)...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this article is to review the origins of the classic teaching on pulmonary tuberculosis, its evolution in the modern literature, and the evidence that led to its demise. CONCLUSION Use of molecular epidemiologic techniques that entail DNA finger-printing has led to the discovery that the radiographic appearance of pulmonary tuberculosis does not depend on the time sin...

Multiple circular or oval pulmonary densities on chest roentgenogram most commonly represent neoplastic metastases. This radiographic picture may also be seen in other tumors (lymphoma, myeloma), infectious diseases (especially tuberculosis and fungal chest diseases), immunologic disorders (Wegener’s granulomatosis and rheumatoid lung), mucoid impaction, pneumoconiosis, A-V fistulae, multiple b...

osteopoikilosis is a rare benign osteosclerotic bone disorder that may be misdiagnosed as skeletal metastases. here we describe a case of coincidental breast cancer and osteopoikilosis mimicking skeletal metastases. a 41-year-old woman underwent right modified radical mastectomy in april 2007. twenty-eight months after initial treatment, the patient complained of bilateral knee and foot pain. p...
