Axillary lipogranuloma mimicking carcinoma metastasis after silicone breast implant rupture: a case report.

Silicone-gel-filled breast implants have been widely used for breast augmentation and reconstruction after mastectomy. However, silicone implants have some well-known complications, such as implant rupture, which requires surgical intervention. Dissemination of silicone particles out of the implant causes a granulomatous reaction, a phenomenon known as silicone granuloma, in breast parenchyma as well as axillary, breast and chest wall lymph nodes, which mimics breast cancer metastasis.

Morphometric analyses of the development of nasal cavity in human fetuses: an anatomical and radiological study.

Objective: It was aimed to research the morphometric development of the nasal cavity with dissection and radiological scanning methods and to detect anatomical variations.

Design: Retrospective study.

Setting: Departments of Anatomy and Radiology, Meram Medical Faculty, Selcuk University.

Assessment of myometrial invasion in endometrial cancer by transvaginal sonography, Doppler ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging and frozen section.

Objective: We aimed to compare the diagnostic performance of transvaginal sonography (TVS), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and intraoperative frozen section in the assessment of myometrial invasion and to evaluate intratumoral blood flow in any myometrial invasion with transvaginal Color Doppler ultrasonography (TV-CDU).

Methods: This prospective study included 64 women consecutively diagnosed with endometrial carcinoma. The subjects were evaluated by TVS, MRI, and TV-CDU by 2 radiologists with a special training in gynecology.

Pyosalpinx caused by the tubal migration of an intrauterine device--a case report.

Migration of an intrauterine device (IUD) is a complication occurring at or following insertion. After having perforated the uterine wall, the IUD usually will settle into the peritoneal cavity. Tubal migration of an IUD is extremely rare and little is known about its mechanism.

Comparison of two different approaches to the pterygomaxillary junction in Le Fort I osteotomy.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the damage before and after down fracture in Le Fort I osteotomies performed with and without the separation of pterygomaxillary junction using curved osteotomes in a cadaver model.

Study Design: The study sample comprised 6 cadavers aged between 55 and 70 years (mean age: 63.8 years).

A case with prepontine (clival) arachnoid cyst manifested as trigeminal neuralgia.

Most cases of "idiopathic" trigeminal neuralgia are thought to originate from vascular compression of the trigeminal root entry zone. In this case, we describe a young man presenting with the symptoms of trigeminal neuralgia associated with a prepontine (clival) arachnoid cyst.

A case of Burkitt lymphoma re-presenting as periportal hepatic and multiple organ infiltration.

Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is a high-grade, B-cell-originated pediatric malignancy that is a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma involving different organs. Mediastinal mass, ascites, peritoneal thickening, and infiltration of the small intestine, kidney, and liver were found in our patient. In this case, we describe the radiologic appearances and possible infiltration patterns of multi-organ BL.

First case report of neurobrucellosis associated with hydrocephalus.

Brucellosis is a common zoonosis in many parts of the world, including Mediterranean and Middle Eastern countries. The disease is primarily related to occupations at risk, such as veterinarians, farmers, laboratory technicians, abattoir workers, and others working with animals and their products. Neurologic complications of brucellosis are quite rare, ranging from 1.

Differential diagnosis of dumbbell lesions associated with spinal neural foraminal widening: imaging features.

Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reliably demonstrate typical features of schwannomas or neurofibromas in the vast majority of dumbbell lesions responsible for neural foraminal widening. However, a large variety of unusual lesions which are causes of neural foraminal widening can also be encountered in the spinal neural foramen. Radiologic findings can be helpful in differential diagnosis of lesions of spinal neural foramen including neoplastic lesions such as benign/malign peripheral nerve sheath tumors (PNSTs), solitary bone plasmacytoma (SBP), chondroid chordoma, superior sulcus tumor, metastasis and non-neoplastic lesions such as infectious process (tuberculosis, hydatid cyst), aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC), synovial cyst, traumatic pseudomeningocele, arachnoid cyst, vertebral artery tortuosity.

CT measurement of trunk muscle areas in patients with chronic low back pain.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to determine the cross-sectional area changes of the paraspinal, isolated multifidus, quadratus lumborum, psoas, and the gluteus maximus muscles with CT in patients with chronic low back pain.

Materials And Methods: In this study, we evaluated 36 patients with chronic low back pain and 34 healthy volunteers. The mean age of the patients was 43.

Be aware of bone marrow edema syndrome in ankle arthroscopy: a case successfully treated with iloprost.

Bone marrow edema syndrome (BMES) is a nontraumatic syndrome characterized by disabling joint pain. The disease occurs especially in the hip joint, and the ankle joint has been reported in the English-language literature to be affected only rarely. We describe here the case of an adult with BMES in both ankle joints.

Arterial spasm following perimesencephalic nonaneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage in a pediatric patient.

Perimesencephalic nonaneurysmal hemorrhage is a benign form of subarachnoid hemorrhages. This entity is well recognized as a distinct type of subarachnoid hemorrhage in adults. However, perimesencephalic nonaneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage in pediatric patients is not well recognized.

Mesenteric ischemia: an unusual presentation of fistula between superior mesenteric artery and common hepatic artery.

Chronic mesenteric ischemia is an uncommon condition associated with a high morbidity and mortality. We reported a 36-year old women with postprandial abdominal pain due to chronic mesenteric ischemia caused by a fistula between superior mesenteric and common hepatic artery.

Pneumomediastinum and pneumopericardium due to intracavitary aspergilloma: an unusual complication of fungal pneumonia.

We describe a 14-year-old boy with acute lymphatic leukaemia who developed pneumomediastinum and pneumopericardium as a complication of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis.
