Idiopathic Granulomatous Mastitis Associated with Erythema Nodosum.

Background: Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) is an uncommon benign chronic inflammatory breast disease, and erythema nodosum (EN) is an extremely rare systemic manifestation of IGM. Here, we report a rare case of IGM accompanied by EN.

Case Report: A 32-year-old patient was admitted to our clinic with a history of a tender mass in the right breast.

Successful Localization of Abnormal Parathyroid Gland Using Ultrasound-Guided Methylene Blue Dye Injection in the Reoperative Neck.

Persistent or recurrent hyperparathyroidism is a challenging problem for endocrine surgeons. The aim of this study was to review our experience using ultrasound-guided (US-G) methylene blue dye injection for the localization and removal of abnormal parathyroid glands in patients having primary hyperparathyroidism and previous neck surgery. Between January 2012 and May 2013, six consecutive patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and previous neck surgery underwent focused parathyroidectomy with the use of US-G methylene blue dye injections to localize the presumed parathyroid adenoma were included in the study.

Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging findings of kidneys with obstructive uropathy: differentiation between benign and malignant etiology.

Purpose: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the capability of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) in differentiation between benign and malignant etiology of obstructive uropathy.

Materials And Methods: DWI was performed in 41 patients with hydronephrotic kidneys and 26 healthy volunteers. MR imaging was performed using a 1.

[Assessment of the effects of surgical treatment options for cubital tunnel syndrome on the ulnar nerve by USG and EMG].

Objectives: The morphology and functional results of the ulnar nerve were evaluated in patients treated with simple decompression and anterior subcutaneous transposition due to the diagnosis of cubital tunnel syndrome.

Patients And Methods: Thirteen elbows of 13 patients (8 males, 5 females; mean age 41 years; range 25 to 56 years) treated with simple decompression and anterior subcutaneous transposition due to the diagnosis of cubital tunnel syndrome were investigated. The involvement was on the dominant side in six patients.

Hydatid disease from head to toe.

Hydatid disease (HD) is a unique parasitic disease that is endemic in many parts of the world. HD can occur almost anywhere in the body and demonstrates a variety of imaging features that vary according to growth stage, associated complications, and affected tissue. Radiologic findings range from purely cystic lesions to a completely solid appearance.
