Intramuscular intercostal lipoma in the left axillary tail: A case report and discussion.

Intercostal lipomas are rare benign tumors that predominantly occur in the subcutaneous tissue. However, intramuscular intercostal lipomas are exceedingly uncommon and pose diagnostic challenges due to their atypical presentation. Here, we present a case report of an intramuscular intercostal lipoma located in the left axillary tail, along with a comprehensive discussion of its clinical features, diagnostic evaluation, and management options.

Granulomatous Mastitis With Breast Abscess Caused by Salmonella.

Granulomatous mastitis (GM) is a rare disease that occurs in young premenopausal women, is mostly idiopathic, and is less likely to be caused by infection and trauma. It is also strongly associated with pregnancy, lactation, and hyperprolactinemia. GM superimposed by infection with abscess formation caused by Salmonella is extremely rare.

Chorionic Bump: Radiologic Features and Pregnancy Outcomes.

Background Chorionic bump is a rare condition defined as a bulge or protrusion from the choriodecidual surface into the gestational sac. The limited literature on this infrequent entity suggests that the pregnancies with multiple chorionic bumps mostly result in fetal demise. Aims To review the available literature and the patients from our institute having sonographic findings of chorionic bump and making the sonographers and radiologists aware of this known cause of first-trimester pregnancy loss.

Towards establishment of diagnostic reference levels based on clinical indication in the state of Qatar.

Objectives: The objectives of this study were to: 1) evaluate patient radiation exposure in CT and 2) establish CT Diagnostic Reference Levels (DRL)s based on clinical indication (CI) in Qatar.

Materials And Methods: Patient data for 13 CIs were collected using specially designed collection forms from the dose management software (DMS) of Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC), the main Qatar healthcare provider. The methodology described in the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) Report 135 was followed to establish national clinical DRLs in terms of Volumetric Computed Tomography Dose Index (CTDIvol) and total Dose Length Product (DLPt).

EVALUATION OF RADIATION DOSE FOR PATIENTS UNDERGOING MAMMOGRAPHY IN QATAR.

In the absence of information on radiation doses in mammography in the Gulf countries, this study was designed to assess patient dose in terms of entrance surface air kerma and average glandular dose (AGD) in three mammography units in Qatar that covers 21% of all mammography systems in the country. The study of 150 patients involving 600 projections indicated that the average value of AGD in patients was 2.2 mGy for cranio-caudal and 2.
