Glass shards masquerading as calcifications in the breast: A case report.

Noniatrogenically acquired foreign bodies in the nipple-areola complex or breast skin are rare and can have variable imaging features, depending on the nature of the foreign material. We present the case of a 41-year-old female who had numerous apparent round and punctate calcifications in the right periareolar breast, predominantly within the skin. The biopsy showed multiple glass shards on a background of scar tissue.

Clinical predictors of I-131 therapy failure in differentiated thyroid cancer by machine learning: A single-center experience.

Well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma is predominantly a slow-growing malignancy, amendable to treatment, and has an excellent prognosis following thyroidectomy and radioiodine (RAI) therapy. However, patients who fail the initial RAI treatment attempt may require repeated RAI or other treatments and with this, comes an associated impact on patient quality of life. Therefore, the anticipation of patients in whom there is a higher risk of RAI failure may help in patient risk stratification and subsequent management.

Primary Ewing sarcoma of the adrenal gland: A rare cause of abdominal mass.

Ewing sarcoma is a malignant tumor that more commonly affects the long bones. Primary Ewing sarcoma of the adrenal gland is a rare diagnosis. We report an unusual case of primary Ewing sarcoma of the adrenal gland in a 34-year-old man who initially presented with abdominal as well as flank pain and abdominal mass.

Early recognition and diagnosis of Ewing sarcoma of the cervical spine.

Ewing sarcoma of the cervical spine is a rare diagnosis. Early recognition and treatment of this condition improves survival. Reported is a case of a 20-year-old male patient who presented with increasing neck pain.

Perforated cecal diverticulitis with CT diagnosis and medical management.

Acute diverticulitis is a painful condition of the gastrointestinal tract that results from sudden inflammation of one or more diverticula in the bowel wall. Right-sided acute diverticulitis, such as cecal diverticulitis, is uncommon diagnosis that can be easily misdiagnosed as acute appendicitis as it shares similar clinical presentation. An unusual complication of right-sided acute diverticulitis such as perforated cecal diverticulitis has different management from acute appendicitis.
