Carotid body paraganglioma: a case report.

A highly vascular glomus tumor that develops from the paraganglion cells of the carotid body is called a carotid body tumor (CBT), also known as a chemodectoma or carotid body paraganglioma (CBP). It is situated near the carotid bifurcation, where the external and internal carotid arteries splay out characteristically.

We aimed to generate data on the clinical and etiological profiles of patients diagnosed with pancytopenia.

Rasmussen's Aneurysm: A Rare Case.

Rasmussen's aneurysm is a very uncommon condition occurring in post-pulmonary tuberculosis patients. We are presenting a case of a young male patient with the chief complaints of hemoptysis, breathlessness on exertion, cough with expectoration and fever, and weight loss. A thorough radiological examination revealed multiple cavitary lesions, bronchiectasis, tree-in-bud appearance and pulmonary nodules, and areas of air-spaced opacities, indicating a likely diagnosis of post-primary pulmonary tuberculosis with stages of active infection and healed infection.
