Ewing Sarcoma of the Pelvis with an Atypical Radiographic Appearance: A Mimicker of Non-malignant Etiologies.

Ewing sarcoma (ES) is a primary malignant bone tumor which most commonly arises in children and young adults. The common clinical presentation with ES includes nighttime pain or pain related to activity, though patients may also present with a combination of localized swelling, a palpable mass, pathologic fracture, and constitutional symptoms. Clinical diagnosis may be delayed when a patient presents with clinical or imaging findings that overlap with non-malignant etiologies, such as fibrous dysplasia (FD) or osteomyelitis.

Myocardial Fatty Foci in Tuberous Sclerosis Complex: Imaging Findings.

Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a rare autosomal dominant genetic syndrome. The hallmark of the disease is multiple hamartomatous lesions in multiple organ systems. Common cardiac manifestations of TSC are rhabdomyomas, which are a benign tumor of striated muscle.

Peroneus Tertius Tendon Tear: A Rare Cause of Lateral Ankle Pain.

The peroneus tertius (PT) muscle is a variably present muscle, uncommonly found in humans. Injury to the PT tendon is rare with virtually no cases reported in the literature. As a consequence of the rarity of this injury, there is little clinical information regarding injury or rupture of the PT muscle and tendon.

Unilateral Absence of the Left Pulmonary Artery With an Associated Vascular Anomaly in Adulthood.

Left-sided pulmonary artery agenesis is a rare malformation that commonly requires childhood intervention secondary to associated congenital cardiovascular anomalies. We present an uncommon case of left-sided agenesis with an associated right-sided aortic arch and significant hypoplasia of the ipsilateral lung. Additionally, there is radiographic evidence of emphysema and pulmonary artery hypertension.

Solitary Fibrous Tumor of the Kidney: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Solitary fibrous tumors are neoplasms of mesenchymal origin that may occur virtually in any body part, most commonly arising from the pleura. Solitary fibrous tumor of the kidney is exceptionally rare, and limited clinical knowledge regarding its behavior makes prognosis of the neoplasm difficult. We report a case of solitary fibrous tumor of the left kidney and describe its clinical, imaging, and pathological features.

Determination of nutlin-3a in murine plasma by liquid chromatography electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS).

A sensitive and precise LC-ESI-MS/MS method for determination of nutlin-3a in murine plasma using ketoconazole as an internal standard was developed and validated. Plasma nutlin-3a samples were prepared by either a simple protein precipitation (PP) for the high concentration range (10-20,000ng/mL) or by liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) for the low concentration range (0.25-300ng/mL).
