A rare case of male primary breast lymphoma.

Primary lymphoma of the breast is a rare occurrence because of the paucity of lymphoid tissue in the breast and is an even rarer entity in the male breast. Imaging, along with tissue diagnosis goes a long way in diagnosing breast lymphoma which has a significantly different management scheme than other breast neoplasms with respect to radio-chemotherapy rather than surgical resection. We present a case of primary male breast lymphoma which was evaluated with magnetic resonance imaging as well as other conventional imaging modalities and was treated by chemotherapy with a 7-month follow-up.

Ellis van creveld syndrome with synpolydactyly, an antenatal diagnosis with postnatal correlation.

Ellis Van Creveld syndrome (EVC), also known as chondroectodermal dysplasia, presents at birth with short limbs accompanied by postaxial polydactyly, nail dysplasia, and dental anomalies. Other manifestations of EVC include atrial septum defects and other congenital heart diseases. We report a case of the EVC syndrome with postaxial polydactyly (Synpolydactyly with seven fingers on the right side and hexadactyly on the left side) and a partial atrioventricular canal defect diagnosed antenatally.

Imaging features of extra cranial parapharyngeal space meningioma: case report.

Parapharyngeal tumors are less common in clinical practice and are often difficult to diagnose upon clinical examination due to the anatomic complexity of the region. We report a rare case of extracranial parapharyngeal space meningioma presenting as a cervical mass with encasement of cranial nerves giving tram track appearance and features on various imaging modalities [Radiographs, Ultrasound, Computed tomography (CT) scan and Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)].

Communicating tubular duplication of upper esophagus-a rare occurrence.

Duplications of esophagus are commonly classified into two types, tubular and cystic. Tubular duplication of esophagus is a rare occurrence and is much less common than cystic duplication of foregut. Most esophageal duplications are located in the lower third of the esophagus.

Endovascular stent graft for post-traumatic superficial femoral artery pseudoaneurysms with arteriovenous fistula: 6 months follow-up of 2 cases.

Pseudoaneurysms are common vascular abnormalities due to disruption of the vessel wall. Pseudoaneurysm with arteriovenous fistula is a rare presentation. Complications associated with them develop unpredictably and carry a high mortality rate.

Outcomes using a 1470-nm laser for symptomatic varicose veins.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate safety and effectiveness of the laser fiber with wavelength of 1470 nm for ablation of symptomatic varicose veins.

Materials And Methods: This was a prospective study carried out from November 2007 to October 2009. Seventy-six limbs in 72 consecutive patients were treated by endovenous laser ablation (EVLA).

Hydranencephaly associated with cerebellar involvement and bilateral microphthalmia and colobomas.

Hydranencephaly is an encephaloclastic central nervous system disorder characterised by severe destruction of the cerebral hemispheres with preservation of posterior fossa structures. We present MRI and neurosonography features of a unique case of hydranencephaly involving cerebellum (in the form of complete liquefaction of cerebellar hemispheres) and cerebral hemispheres with associated bilateral microphthalmia and ocular colobomas. This is an exceptional case as to the best to our knowledge.

Unusual presentations of midgut volvulus with the whirlpool sign.

Objective: The purpose of this series was to emphasize the varied presentations of midgut volvulus from neonatal life to well into adulthood and to evaluate the role of the whirlpool sign on sonography in diagnosing this condition.

Methods: A retrospective search of all midgut volvulus cases diagnosed in the radiology department of a 1500-bed general hospital between February 2002 and July 2005 was done. Eight patients with surgically confirmed midgut volvulus were found, all of whom had undergone sonography as the initial screening investigation.
