Primary Angiosarcoma of the Breast: A Rare Case Report in Postmenopausal Women.

Primary angiosarcoma (PAS) of the breast is a rare malignant tumor arising from endothelial cells lining the blood vessel and accounts for 0.04% of all breast tumors. It occurs predominantly in young patients usually presenting as nonspecific imaging features and is often overlooked and misdiagnosed at radiology and pathology.

Conventional and advanced brain MR imaging in patients with sickle cell anemia.

Background: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an autosomal recessive hemolytic disorder; its cerebrovascular complications include silent cerebral ischemia, infarct, and brain atrophy. Conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) often underestimates the extent of injury. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) can demonstrate and quantify microstructural brain changes in SCD cases having normal routine MRI.

Evaluation of Cerebral Venous Thrombosis by CT, MRI and MR Venography.

Objective: To study and compare cerebral parenchymal changes and sinuses involvement in CT with MRI and MRV in Cerebral Venous Thrombosis patients.

Method: This study was carried out in the Department of Radiodiagnosis, JLN Hospital and Research Center, Bhilai, Chhattisgarh from October 2012 to Nov 2014 and includes fifty patients of all age groups presenting with clinical symptoms of CVT, admitted in Neurology, Neurosurgery, Medicine, Pediatric, obstetric and Gynecology wards. CT, MRI and MRV findings were noted and statistical analysis was done using SPSS (Statistical package for Social science) 17.

Lymph Node Central Necrosis on the Computed Tomography as the Predictor of the Extra Capsular Spread in Metastatic Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between the presence of the cervical lymph node with central necrosis as on the preoperative imaging and postoperative histopathological identification of the lymph node extra capsular spread. This study is a prospective study conducted at J.L.

Rigid Bronchoscopic Placement of Fogarty Catheter as a Bronchial Blocker for One Lung Isolation and Ventilation in Infants and Children Undergoing Thoracic Surgery: A Single Institution Experience of 27 Cases.

One-lung ventilation (OLV) is a challenging task in infants and children as few techniques are possible because of narrow anatomy. The aim of this study is to evaluate and experience lung isolation with Fogarty catheters as a bronchial blocker placed by rigid bronchoscope for OLV in infants and children with lung pathologies requiring surgical management in an industrial hospital. This study is a prospective study carried out in J.

Neonatal Intrathoracic Stomach without Gastric Volvulus.

Intrathoracic stomach is a rare and serious congenital abnormality. The anomaly may be complicated by gastric volvulus and can lead to ischemic gastric infarction in the neonate. If diagnosed antenatally, neonatal management can be planned in advance so as to reduce morbidity.

Complications of Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media and Their Management: A Single Institution 12 Years Experience.

To determine the incidence of otogenic complications of Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) and its management. The study was conducted at the tertiary referral centre and teaching hospital. An analysis was made about the clinical and operative findings, surgical techniques and approaches, the overall management and recovery of the patient.

Spontaneous expulsion of foreign body (seewing machine needle) from right middle lobe bronchus - a rare case report.

Aspirated foreign bodies continue to present challenges to the Otorhinolaryngologists. The major issues involve the accurate diagnosis at the earliest and speedy, safe removal of the foreign body. Endoscopic removal is the mainstay of management of foreign body in tracheobronchial tree.

Isolated non-compacted right ventricular myocardium.

Ventricular non-compaction or spongy myocardium is a rare type of cardiomyopathy resulting from arrested myocardial development during embryogenesis. This rare entity is characterized by excessive prominent trabeculations and deep inter-trabecular recesses in the ventricular wall. The clinical manifestations include heart failure, arrhythmias and cardioembolic events.

"Simpson's right ventricle ejection fraction versus tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion in patients with isolated left ventricle anterior myocardial infarction".

Background: Unlike left ventricular, right ventricular (RV) function has not been widely studied after anterior myocardial infarction. This is because standard 2 dimensional echocardiographic evaluation of RV volumes and ejection fraction is cumbersome due to difficulty in exact delineation of RV endocardial borders because of prominent trabeculations and crescentric shape of the chamber.

Methods And Results: 50 patients of isolated LV anterior myocardial infarction subdivided into two subgroups--Group-1 with stenosis of Left anterior descending artery (LAD) and Group-2 with stenosis of both LAD and left circumflex artery were studied.

Transepidermal elimination of Mycobacterium leprae in histoid leprosy: a case report suggesting possible participation of skin in leprosy transmission.

An Indian patient of histoid leprosy presenting de novo, having numerous solid staining bacilli inside the intact epidermis and eliminating bacilli from the intact and the eroded epidermis, is reported. The diagnosis, suggested by the clinical features, was confirmed histopathologically. This unusual report indicates possible participation of skin in leprosy transmission.

Rhinosporidiosis: gigantic cells with engulfed sporangia of Rhinosporidium seeberi in the case of dermosporidiosis.

Rhinosporidiosis in an Indian male with a tumorous skin lesion is reported. Histopathology from the skin lesion revealed gigantic foreign body giant cells bloated with multiple, engulfed sporangia of rhinosporidiosis, which has not been reported earlier. The term "dermosporidiosis", should be used to denote such predominant skin lesions of rhinosporidiosis.

Polymorphic ecthymatoid dermosporidiosis.

We report the case of a young Chhattisgarhi male with polymorphic dermosporidiosis (cutaneous rhinosporidiosis). He had multiple subcutaneous nodules and an ecthymatoid skin lesion along with nasal rhinosporidiosis. The diagnosis was confirmed by demonstration of sporangia with endospores in fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC), histopathology, and imprint smear from the skin lesions.

Keratosis lichenoides chronica in an Indian child following erythroderma.

A 4-year-old boy presented with mildly itchy, linear, skin lesions over the trunk, arms, and face of 3 months' duration. He had previously been admitted to a private hospital for generalized exfoliation of the skin following drug intake for fever and throat pain. The nature of the drugs was not known.

Inoculation indeterminate leprosy localised to a smallpox vaccination scar.

A single, indeterminate leprosy lesion localised exclusively to a smallpox vaccination scar in a 32-year old Indian male is reported. The diagnosis was confirmed by histopathology. This is the second published report of a leprosy lesion occurring at the site of a smallpox vaccination.

Penile shaft lesion in reactional borderline tuberculoid leprosy: a case report.

A twenty-year-old man with borderline tuberculoid leprosy with lesion on the penile shaft is reported. The lesion was detected when the patient developed an upgrading reaction after MDT. The diagnosis was confirmed by histopathology.

Cervical thymic cyst-A case report.

A case of cervical thymic cyst in a five year old girl is reported. It was found to be extending between the greatvessels of the neck towards the pharynx. This type of presentation is rare which prompted us to document this case.
