Dipygus is a teratological fetus with a double pelvis, genitals, and extremities. Congenital duplications in cattle are rare. Caudal duplication is more common in sheep and pigs while cranial duplications seem to be predominant in cattle. Asymmetric or parasitic conjoined twins consisting of an incomplete twin (parasite) attached to the body of a fully-developed twin (autosite). This report dea...

Technetium-99m-labeled red blood cells subcutaneous radionuclide venography can apply to evaluate deep venous flow of lower extremities. We introduce additional abdominal/pelvic hybrid SPECT/CT (single-photon emission computed tomography with computed tomography) to scrutinize the proximal deep venous flow defects in the iliac vein. SPECT/CT imaging is collected when disturbed or asymmetrical i...

congenital disorder characterized by cutaneous hemangiomas, hypertrophy of bone and soft tissue, varicose veins, and clinically significant arteriovenous malformation (AVM) (1, 2, 3). AVMs associated with KTWS are located in the extremities, visceral organs, or spinal canal (1, 3). Most AVMs in the extremities are intramuscular or cutaneous. There is a paucity of data on AVMs in the suprapatell...

Fifty years ago, Donald Teare,1 a well-known forensic pathologist in London, reported 8 cases of “asymmetrical hypertrophy or benign tumor” of the heart. Each had disproportionate hypertrophy of the interventricular septum, a coarse myocardial texture, and a bizarre arrangement of muscle fibers, separated by excessive connective tissue and clefts. At the time, numerous names for this entity wer...

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an inherited cardiac disease with an incidence of about 1 in 500 individuals. It is characterized by asymmetrical hypertrophy of the left ventricle in the absence of other causes for hypertrophy. HCM can vary from essentially asymptomatic to highly malignant up to end-stage heart failure or cause life-threatening arrhythmias with sudden cardiac death particu...

Twenty-four patients from India, had juvenile muscular atrophy localized to the upper extremities. The condition characteristically affects young men and is not familial. Atrophy is limited to the hand and forearm muscles, with slow progression for two to three years after which it seems to be stationary. The condition is associated with "tremor-like" movements out of proportion to the weakness...
