b-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (b-lbl) is an uncommon subtype of pediatric non-hodgkin lymphoma (nhl) which rarely involves the skin primarily. the positron emission tomography with 2-deoxy-2-[fluorine- 18] fluoro-d: -glucose integrated with computed tomography (18f-fdg pet/ct) scan findings of a 8-year-old boy with cutaneous b-lbl were presented. pet/ct scan demonstrated mild fdg uptake in the ...

conclusions a high index of suspicion is essential for early detection of ddr and dddr. patients with high impact injuries or surrounding organ damage should be followed with serial clinical examinations, follow-up radiologic assessments, and even re-exploration in situations highly suspicious for diaphragmatic injuries. introduction diaphragmatic rupture (dr) is an uncommon, potentially seriou...

clavicular bone tumors occur in less than 0.5 percent of bone tumors. primary chondrosarcoma is very rare even among clavicle tumors. the main symptom is a touchable mass in 69 % of patients. dedicated centers using fna and cytology can reach a correct diagnosis in 94% of cases. treatment planning is done using simple x-ray, ct-scan, shoulder mri, chest ct-scan, and whole body technetium scan. ...
