Recurrent Cholesteatoma: Why it occurs?

A cholesteatoma is an expansion of keratinizing squamous epithelium that enters the middle ear cleft from the outer layer of the tympanic membrane or ear canal. Choleatomas are always treated surgically. Recurrence of the illness presents another challenge for the patient and the surgeon, though.

A Rare Case of Post-Traumatic Cervical Ligamentous Tear Complicated by Vertebral Arteriovenous Fistula (vAVF), with Successful Endovascular Treatment.

Post-traumatic vertebral arteriovenous fistula (vAVF) caused by motor vehicle accidents (MVA) is a rare condition in which there is abnormal communication between the vertebral artery and its adjacent veins. In a post-MVA setting, it is commonly associated with vertebral body fracture. In this paper, we report a case of a 19-year-old girl with a complete C2/C3 anterior and posterior ligament tear post MVA without any cervical bony injury.

Giant paratesticular dedifferentiated liposarcoma with intraabdominal extension: a case report.

Giant paratesticular liposarcoma is a rare presentation of paratesticular tumor. We present a case of the largest paratesticular liposarcoma described to date with a weight of 4,100 g and measuring 460 × 210 × 130 mm. It was initially mistaken as an inguinoscrotal hernia until a contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) scan of the abdomen and pelvis revealed a huge left paratesticular tumor extending from the scrotum to the mid-abdomen.

Case Report: Optimum excision with split skin graft closure in the management of penile sebaceous carcinoma.

Sebaceous carcinoma (SC) is a rare malignant skin neoplasm derived from the meibomian gland of adnexal epithelium, which is frequently confused with basal cell carcinoma (BCC), exhibiting sebaceous differentiation and commonly found in the head and neck regions. We report a case of penile sebaceous carcinoma, an extremely rare anatomical site for SC. A 68-year-old man presented with a 4-month history of painless, non-healing ulcerated nodules over the left side of the penile shaft.

Cat Scratch Disease-A Benign Disease with Thymic Hyperplasia Mimicking Lymphoma.

Cat scratch disease (CSD) is a benign condition caused by the inoculation of Bartonella henselae. The imaging findings are non-specific, and it is difficult to diagnose the disease via imaging. However, imaging studies help exclude other differential diagnoses in diagnostic dilemmas.

Spinal Schwannomatosis Mimicking Metastatic Extramedullary Spinal Tumor.

Intradural extramedullary (IDEM) tumors are the most commonly observed intraspinal tumors, comprising over 60% of tumors found within the spinal canal, and the vast majority of these lesions are benign lesions. IDEM metastases are rare, but if they occur, they commonly manifest as leptomeningeal disease, secondary to drop lesions from intracranial metastases from adenocarcinomas of the lung, prostate cancer, breast cancer, melanoma, or rarely, as a result of lymphomas. The purely non-neurogenic origin of IDEM metastases is rare.

Bilateral metachronous breast malignancies: Malignant phylloides and invasive breast carcinoma-a case report.

A 57-year-old Malay nullipara initially presented with a right breast lump that was increasing in size but defaulted follow-up. Two years later, she developed a contralateral breast lump. She only returned to the hospital when the right breast lump had become painful, 4 years from its onset.

A rare case of prostate neuroendocrine tumor: A case report.

Small cell prostate neuroendocrine carcinoma (SCPC) is a rare and highly aggressive malignant tumor. We present a case of a 52-year-old Iranian man, presenting with complaints of occasional gross hematuria and perineal pain for 6 months. PSA was 0.

Encapsulated Papillary Carcinoma: A Rare Case Report and Its Imaging Features.

Papillary lesions in the breasts are uncommon and have a wide range of pathologies. Due to diverse non-specific findings radiologically and histologically, papillary neoplasms are always a challenge to radiologists. Encapsulated papillary carcinomas (EPCs) of the breast, also known as intracystic papillary carcinomas, are a subgroup of intraductal papillary lesions of the breast.

A Comparison of Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging and T2-Weighted Imaging in Determining the Depth of Myometrial Invasion in Endometrial Carcinoma-A Retrospective Study.

This study aims to compare dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) with T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) in defining the depth of myometrial invasion in endometrial carcinoma. This retrospective study included 32 subjects with endometrial carcinoma who underwent 3.0T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) prior to hysterectomy.

Exploring the beliefs of caregivers about the caregiving experiences of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in Malaysia.

Background: Cancer is one of the major leading causes of childhood death, and the most common type is acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The survival rate has increased in recent years; however, the long patient trajectory may trigger psychological distress among caregivers as they play an active role in ensuring that the child's basic needs are met. Being in a patient-focused system, the needs of caregivers may be neglected.

Comparative Study of Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) with and without Ultrasound versus Breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in Detecting Breast Lesion.

Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) is a fairly recent breast imaging technique invented to overcome the challenges of overlapping breast tissue. Ultrasonography (USG) was used as a complementary tool to DBT for the purpose of this study. Nonetheless, breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) remains the most sensitive tool to detect breast lesion.

Comparison of Mean Glandular Dose between Full-Field Digital Mammography and Digital Breast Tomosynthesis.

Early detection of breast cancer is diagnosed using mammography, the gold standard in breast screening. However, its increased use also provokes radiation-induced breast malignancy. Thus, monitoring and regulating the mean glandular dose (MGD) is essential.

Clinical evaluation of the anterior translation of glenohumeral joint using ultrasonography: an intra- and inter-rater reliability study.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the intra- and inter-rater reliability of ultrasonography (US) to measure anterior translation of the humeral head (ATHH) among healthy subjects and patients with sacroiliac joint dysfunction.

Methods: The study included a total of 22 shoulder joints from 11 subjects. Six subjects were healthy and 5 had sacroiliac joint dysfunction.
