background: although multifocal and multicentric breast cancers are a common entity, their clinical behavior is not well characterized. with the widespread use of mammographic screening and improved sensitivity of imaging modalities, the detection of multifocal and multicentric breast cancers is likely to continuously increase. many studies have consistently shown a correlation between multifoc...

Multifocal skeletal tuberculosis in not uncommon in the countries with tuberculosis. The clinical onest is insidious and sometimes nonspecific, resulting in delay or misdiagnosis. Bone scan appearance is presented in some reports, as multiple abnormal accumulations of tracer. This report describes an unusual presentation of multifocal skeletal tuberculosis.

Multifocal avascular osteonecrosis is an uncommon entity having a predominant association with steroids and less commonly with alcohol abuse. In literature only few cases of alcohol induced multifocal avascular osteonecrosis involving both hips and shoulder are reported. To the best of our understanding this is the first case report or contribution from nuclear medicine court and it would help ...

purpose: to record the mri features of primary central nervous system lymphoma (pcnsl) and compare these properties in monofocal and multifocal disease. methods: eleven cases of monofocal disease were compared to 9 cases of multifocal disease. all patients were examined by non-enhanced and contrast-enhanced mri. tumor location, signal intensity, enhancement characteristics, age distribution, pe...

Central giant cell granuloma is a benign, aggressive neoplasm composed of multinucleated giant cells that almost exclusively occurs in the jaws though extra-gnathic incidence is rare.Multifocal CGCGs of the jaws are very rare and suggestive of systemic diseases such as hyperparathyroidism,an inherited syndrome such as Noonan-like multiple giant cell lesion syndrome or other disorders.Very few c...

Polyomaviruses may cause human disease, particularly in immunocompromised hosts. JCV, one of the members of polyomaviridae family, is the causative agent of the neurological disease progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), which occurs mostly in immunocompromised patients. Progressive Multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a progressive demyelinating disorder of the central nervous sy...

  Objective: Oral non- Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) is a relatively rare neoplasm that may develop in the soft tissues or jaw bones, with or without node or marrow involvement. Oral lymphomas are often difficult to diagnose as there are no characteristic clinical features and usually appear as non-tender swellings.   Case: We describe clinical, radiographic, histopathological and immunohistochemica...

purpose : to compare visual quality in patients receiving alcon acrysof restor multifocal versus acrysof sa60at monofocal intraocular lenses (iol) methods : in this interventional study, patients with senile cataract undergoing surgery were enrolled. the age of the patients ranged between 40 and 85 years, and their potential preoperative vision was 20/30 or better. in all patients phacoemulsifi...

a 26 year old woman attended to our hospital with multifocal giant cell tumor in different sites, one in distal end of right radius with aggresive behavior and amputation of the mid forearm and the second in the head of the right humerus with benign and non aggresive clinical appearance.

conclusions a high index of suspicion is required for the early diagnosis and prompt treatment of patients with osseous tuberculosis. given the high prevalence of tuberculosis in developing countries, tuberculosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of multifocal lytic lesions and vertebra plana, especially in children. introduction multifocal skeletal tuberculosis is a rare cond...
