- Hydatid cyst is a parasitic infection caused by tapeworm species that can sometimes occur in unusual locations, like intermuscular tissues, which can be confused with other types of tumors.
- Diagnosing intermuscular hydatid cysts is crucial, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is key for identifying their specific characteristics, as demonstrated in a reported case.
- A 34-year-old man had a left thigh swelling for 5 years, and MRI revealed encapsulated cysts; he underwent surgery and received albendazole treatment before and after the procedure.
Osteonecrosis is the death of bone cells due to insufficient blood supply; radiotherapy for various underlying malignancies is one of the uncommon causes. Microvascular damage or underlying tissue fibrosis, which leads to an ischemic environment and cell death, is a proposed mechanism. Factors influencing risk of radiation induced AVN include type of radiation whether external beam radiotherapy or brachytherapy, age of the patient, included body part and concomitant additional steroid or chemotherapy treatment.
