Cherubism is a rare, hereditary, nonneoplastic bone disease. It is characterized by clinically evident bilateral, painless enlargements of the jaws that are said to give the patient a "chubby" appearance. This article presents a case of cherubism in a 5-year-old girl with painless bilateral swelling. Panoramic radiographs and a computed tomography scan showed bilateral multilocular radiolucent areas with cortical expansion. Histopathologic examination revealed proliferating fibrous connective tissue containing numerous multinucleated giant cells.

Introduction: Low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma (LGMS) is an atypical and extremely infrequent type of tumor, primary mass being usually present in subcutaneous and soft tissue. Bony involvement is very rare. It has a very high chance of recurrence locally due to its aggressive biological behavior, metastasis in other parts of body is rarely seen.

Background: Orthostatic headache (OH) is a common feature of various conditions, including spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH), but no precise definition currently exists outlining the typical OH characteristics. This ambiguity risks misdiagnosis with unnecessary investigations and delay in institution of treatment. The present study aimed to carry out structured phenotyping of OH in patients with SIH with the aim of outlining its typical characteristics.

Article Synopsis
- Spondylo-thoracic dysplasia (STD) is a rare congenital condition that affects the vertebrae and thoracic area, often leading to serious respiratory issues and a high risk of early death in neonates.
- The text details the case of a one-day-old male newborn with severe respiratory distress and various physical anomalies, including scoliosis and rib deformities, identified through clinical examinations and imaging studies.
- The baby was diagnosed with STD, received conservative management, and survived past the neonatal period, offering insights into this particular variant of the condition.
A Rare Case Report of Dengue Fever Presenting With Acute Leukoencephalopathy With Restricted Diffusion.
Cureus
November 2024
Radiodiagnosis, Sir Takhtasinhji General Hospital, Bhavnagar, IND.
Acute leukoencephalopathy with restricted diffusion (ALERD) is an emerging clinico-radiological syndrome marked by sudden onset encephalopathy and characteristic restricted diffusion in the subcortical white matter on MRI. While typically linked to other viral etiologies, its association with dengue fever is not well known and is rarely documented in the literature. In this report, we describe a rare case of ALERD associated with dengue fever in a young patient, emphasizing clinical features, neuroimaging findings, management, and outcome.

BMC Med Imaging
December 2024
Department of MRI, Xinxiang Central Hospital (The Fourth Clinical College of Xinxiang Medical University), 56 Jinsui Road, Xinxiang, Henan, 453000, China.
Background: To develop and validate an interpretable machine learning model based on intratumoral and peritumoral radiomics combined with clinicoradiological features and metabolic information from magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), to predict clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa, Gleason score ≥ 3 + 4) and avoid unnecessary biopsies.
Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed 350 patients with suspicious prostate lesions from our institution who underwent 3.0 Tesla multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) prior to biopsy (training set, n = 191, testing set, n = 83, and a temporal validation set, n = 76).
