Non-Alpine Thyroid Angiosarcoma Presenting with Unique Spinal Metastasis: A Rare Case Report from Pakistan.

Thyroid angiosarcoma is an extraordinarily sparse malignancy, often populating alpine regions. Clinically, thyroid angiosarcomas tend to be nonspecific in presentation, starkly dependent on site, size, extension, and metastases. Tumors are locally aggressive and can present with sudden onset pain due to intra-nodular hemorrhage and compressive symptoms from sudden expansion.

Diagnostic accuracy of double density sign on CT scan of para-nasal sinuses for fungal sinusitis taking microbiology culture as gold standard.

Objectives: To compare double-density sign on non-contrast computed tomography scan of paranasal sinuses with fungal sinusitis on histopathology.

Methods: This prospective study was conducted at the Shifa International Hospital, Islamabad, Pakistan, from July 1, 2021, to June 30, 2023, and comprised patients of either gender aged 20-60 years who were set to undergo functional endoscopic sinus surgery. Demographic characteristics and non-contrast computed tomography scan findings were recorded preoperatively, while microbiological and histopathology results were recorded post-operatively.

Shrapnel in carotid sheath: A rare penetrating neck injury.

Injuries deeper than the platysma are considered as penetrating neck injuries, constituting approximately 5% - 10% of all trauma. Many vital organs are at risk from a penetrating neck injury. These injuries in zone 1 have the highest mortality, because the injuries are close to the vital organs and difficult to access surgically.

A Case of Gastric Mucormycosis in a 21-Year-Old Patient With Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis.

Mucormycosis is an angioinvasive, opportunistic infection. Diabetes Mellitus and immunosuppression are the most common risk factors for fungal infection. Without prompt treatment, the infection can be fatal.

Zipline Into a Case of Spontaneous Cerebrospinal Fluid Rhinorrhea.

Spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea is an uncommon phenomenon. One of the complications associated with CSF rhinorrhea is meningitis, which is associated with high mortality. Therefore, the prompt diagnosis of CSF rhinorrhea is essential.
