Neurolymphomatosis of the lumbosacral plexus and its branches: case series and literature review.

Background: Neurolymphomatosis (NL) is a direct process of invasion of peripheral nerves by lymphoma. It occurs in roughly 5% of patients with lymphoma and represents a particularly difficult diagnostic dilemma when it is the presenting focal manifestation of occult lymphoma.

Case Presentation: We present 3 examples of invasion of the lumbosacral plexus and its branches.

Characterization of Pulmonary Emboli in Total Joint Arthroplasty Patients Compared to General Medical Patients.

Pulmonary emboli (PEs) occur in medical and postoperative total joint arthroplasty (TJA) patients. These are different patient populations, yet both undergo identical diagnosis and treatment regardless of PEs size and quantity. To date, there has been no analysis of the location, size, and quantity of emboli that occur postoperatively in TJA compared with general medical patients.

Osteoblastic Metastases Mimickers on Contrast Enhanced CT.

Secondary osseous involvement in lymphoma is more common compared to primary bone lymphoma. The finding of osseous lesion can be incidentally discovered during the course of the disease. However, osseous metastases are infrequently silent.
