Published: July 2024

We report a case of a 48-year-old man with testicular infarction caused by epididymo-orchitis (EO). Multimodal ultrasound showed extensive necrosis of the testis, and the patient underwent right orchiectomy. Postoperative pathology confirmed extensive necrosis of the testis. After 3 months of follow-up, the examination of scrotal ultrasound showed that the left testis and epididymis had no obvious abnormality.

Background: Subcortical vascular mild cognitive impairment (svMCI) frequently occurs alongside depressive symptoms, significantly affecting patients' quality of life. While cognitive decline and depressive symptoms are linked to cerebellar changes, the specific relationship between these changes and cognitive status in svMCI patients with depression remains unclear.

Objective: This study aimed to investigates the gray matter volume and functional alterations in the cerebellum of svMCI patients, with and without depressive symptoms, and their correlation with cognitive and depressive symptoms.

This case series highlights the role of endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) in diagnosing cardiac tumors instead of tumor resection. EMB provided critical diagnostic clarity and influenced therapeutic decisions, demonstrating its utility in complex cardiovascular cases while preventing unnecessary surgery. Furthermore, EMB provides vital information that can be used for a multidisciplinary approach to cardiac tumors.

Primary cardiac tumors are a rare disease, with 20% of the cases being malignant. Among them, angiosarcoma is characterized by a short clinical course and poor prognosis, even after surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. We present a 67-year-old woman diagnosed with a primary malignant tumor (angiosarcoma) infiltrating the right atrial myocardium.

Hallmarks of Left Ventricular Apical Cardiac Mass in a Young Patient.

JACC Case Rep

Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences-DIMEC, IRCCS Policlinico S. Orsola-Malpighi, University of Bologna, Bologna, Italy.

We present the case of a young patient with an apical cardiac mass exhibiting an anterior pseudonecrosis pattern on the electrocardiogram. Cardiac ultrasound revealed a hyperechoic mass infiltrating the apical wall. However, cardiac magnetic resonance ruled out signs of infiltration and demonstrated significant contrast uptake.
