a 57-year-old male with history of prostatectomy, cyctectomy, cecal urinary diversion for invasive prostate cancer and with a recent rise in psa level, was referred for bone scintigraphy to rule out osseous metastatic disease. an interesting finding was abnormal tracer accumulation throughout the large bowel, which was proved to be due to urinary diversion.

we report here a rare case of lateral ectopia of thyroid without orthotopic thyroid tissue in an indian teenager, who was referred to our department for a thyroid scintigraphy. technetium pertechnetate (99mtco4- ) scan showed uptake in laterally placed soft tissue structure along with functioning thyroid tissue in high anterior midline neck region in line with thyroglossal tract. there is no up...

the application of laser in dentistry is considered as a favorable technique for patients due to its many advantages compare to other current methods. one of the main goals in pediatric dentistry is to provide the treatment as comfortable as possible without any risks for the care. laser is being used in different pediatric dental conditions including caries detection, caries removal and cavity...

background:   although the majority of soft tissue masses are benign, it is important to consider malignancy in differential diagnoses. because most soft tissue sarcomas present as a painless mass, clinicians must watch for signs suggestive of malignancy, including large size, rapid growth, and site deep into the deep fascia.the purpose of this study was to determine the relative prevalence acc...

Although bone scanning is a test primarily concerned with skeletal abnormalities, important nonosseous findings are occasionally present on the images. To gauge the significance of such nonosseous uptake and, in particular, to determine whether these findings contain useful diagnostic information, the technical and medical staff in nuclear medicine must recognize the various patterns of nonbony...

lipoma is the most common soft tissue tumor but the presence of osseous component within the tumor is quite rare. some studies show that less than 1% of lipomas were ossified. we describe the histological, radiological and diagnostic features of an ossified intramuscular lipoma. to the best of the authors' knowledge, a symptomatic ossified intramuscular lipoma without any cortical erosion and h...

Here we define two cases with a diffuse soft tissue uptake of I-131 in neck and mediastinum on post ablation scan. A diffuse uptake of I-131 in the soft tissue is very rare. In this case report we review the literature and discuss the mechanism of the uptake.

introduction: the phenomenon of neglected foreign bodies is a significant cause of morbidity in soft tissue injuries and may present to dermatologists as delayed wound healing, localized cellulitis and inflammation, abscess formation, or foreign body sensation. localization and removal of neglected soft tissue foreign bodies (stfbs) is complex due to possible inflammation, indurations, granulat...
