Published: December 2011

Localized scleroderma (morphea) usually develops spontaneously, but the precise mechanisms underlying disease development are obscure. However, a significant number of cases suggest that morphea is induced by external stimuli. Herein, we report a case of morphea that developed after a needle biopsy.

Trends in diagnostic biopsy sample collection approaches for primary bone sarcomas have shifted in the past 2 decades. Although open/incisional biopsies used to be the predominant approach to obtain diagnostic material for Ewing sarcoma and osteosarcoma, image-guided core needle biopsies have increased in frequency and are safe for patients. These procedures are less invasive and reduce recovery times but have potential limitations.

Department of Radiology, Grampians Health, Ballarat Central, Victoria, Australia.

Background: CT-guided percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy is the primary method for diagnosing lung lesions. Widely accepted validated risk prediction models are yet to be developed. A recently published study conducted at Grampians Health Services (GHS) developed two risk prediction models for predicting pneumothorax and intercostal catheter (ICC) insertion.

Hibernomas are rare, benign neoplasms characterized by the presence of brown adipose tissue. Although these tumors may arise in any region of brown fat, they predominantly occur in the thigh, shoulder, back, and neck. Hibernomas are rarely found in mammary tissue, with a higher prevalence in females than males.

Effect of needle size on outcomes of vacuum-assisted excision of breast lesions. A randomized controlled trial.

Eur J Radiol

December 2024

Department of Radiology, Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden; Department of Oncology and Pathology, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden.

Background: Utilizing a larger needle-size instead of a smaller one in vacuum-assisted excision of breast lesions might enhance the effectiveness of the method. We conducted a clinical trial to investigate the effects of needle size 7G compared to 10G regarding excision completeness and procedural efficiency.

Materials And Methods: In this prospective, single-blinded, randomized clinical trial, the patients were enrolled between November 2019 and August 2022.
