Malignant epithelioid angiomyolipoma of the submandibular gland: A case report.

An epithelioid angiomyolipoma (a perivascular epithelioid cell tumor) is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm with distinctive cellular morphology and nonspecific imaging appearances. Mostly reported perivascular epithelioid cell tumors (PEComas) are benign; however, rarely, PEComas can be malignant with pulmonary, hepatic, nodal, and osseous metastases. We present a case of a 40-year-old man with malignant right submandibular salivary gland PEComa, metastasized to the bones, lungs, and liver.

Secondary Trigeminal Neuralgia: A Case Report and Literature Review of Red Flags.

Introduction: Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is characterised by recurrent paroxysmal brief episodes of electric shock-like pain along the trigeminal nerve distribution. Based on the underlying cause, the current classification systems have classified TN into idiopathic, classical and secondary TN. This manuscript presents a case report of a patient seen in the clinic with features of TN secondary to an intracranial lesion.

Sonographic Evaluation of Incidental Synchronous Masses in Patients with Breast Cancer: Clinical Significance and Diagnostic Workup.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of breast ultrasonography in classifying incidental satellite masses as benign or malignant in patients with breast cancer and to assess its effect on their surgical management.

Materials And Methods: Ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration/biopsy was performed in 288 satellite masses of 225 patients with breast cancer. Two radiologists retrospectively reviewed the sonograms of these masses and classified them as benign or malignant and compared this feature with the results of the histopathological examination.

Ectopic Acromegaly Secondary to Bronchial Tumour: A Case Report of Rare Occurrence.

Introduction: Acromegaly is caused due to the unregulated and sustained overproduction of growth hormone (GH). The majority of the cases are caused by autonomous secretion of GH from anterior pituitary tumours. Nonetheless, in <1% of the cases, the cause of autonomous secretion is secondary to ectopic GH-releasing hormone (GHRH) production.

Dopamine Agonist-Induced Cerebrospinal Fluid Rhinorrhoea: A Case Report.

Introduction: Prolactinomas are the most common pituitary adenomas. Medical therapy with dopamine agonists (DAs) is the mainstay of treatment and rarely requires surgical manipulation. Patients may rarely present with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhoea after starting therapy with DA in case of massive or invasive prolactinomas.

Imaging Characteristics of Breast Lymphoma; a Case Series.

Introduction: Breast involvement by lymphoma is rare. It can occur as a primary breast tumour or as an extranodal manifestation of the systemic disease. The imaging features of breast lymphoma (BL) are not characteristic.

Skin Metastasis in Breast Cancer Patients; a Case Series.

Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women. It frequently metastasizes to bones, lungs and liver. Although rare, skin metastasis may also take place.

Remote Cerebellar Haemorrhage: A Potential Iatrogenic Complication of Spinal Surgery.

We report the case of a 51-year-old man with no significant past medical history, who underwent elective revision spinal surgery and subsequently developed intracranial hypotension, remote cerebellar haemorrhage (RCH), and mild hydrocephalus on the fourth postoperative day. Remote cerebellar haemorrhage is a known complication of supratentorial surgery. This iatrogenic phenomenon may also occur following spinal surgery, due to dural tearing and rapid cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) leakage, resulting in intracranial hypotension and cerebellar haemorrhage.

Grading of oligodendroglial tumors of the brain with apparent diffusion coefficient, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and dynamic susceptibility contrast imaging.

Purpose We explored whether advanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging techniques could grade oligodendrogliomas. Methods Forty patients (age 9-61 years) with oligodendroglial tumors were selected. There were 23 patients with World Health Organization grade II (group 1) and 17 patients with grade III (group 2) tumors.
