The manifestations of endometriosis commonly present a challenge to the gynecologist and radiologist. Familiarity with its varied presentations may allow accurate diagnosis.
Papillary endolymphatic sac tumours (ELSTs) are rare lesions of the temporal bone often confused with other more common entities. However, the radiologic differentiation is important for both surgical planning and also to alert the pathologist as regards the true origin. We present a case of a large ELST with some specific radiological findings.
Association of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with renal calculi is very rare. Herein we report a case of RCC developing in a non-functioning kidney containing multiple renal and ureteric calculi. Histologically, the kidney, in addition, revealed changes of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGP). XGP can be confused clinically, grossly and microscopically with RCC. In the present case both were coexistent and thus make it interesting.
The educational objectives for this self-assessment module are for the participant to exercise, self-assess, and improve his or her understanding of the imaging features of endometriosis and the role of imaging and various radiologic techniques in the clinical management of patients.
Pyopneumothorax is a common complication associated with tuberculosis, especially in patients with lung parenchymal cavitatory lesions. In this publication, we highlight the case of a 43-year-old female patient who presented with chief complaints of dry cough, left-sided chest pain, and dyspnea on exertion. An X-ray of the chest posteroanterior (PA) view, revealed a left-sided moderate pleural effusion with pneumothorax. Immediate intercostal chest drain (ICD) insertion was done and a pleural fluid cytology sample was sent which was suggestive of tubercular empyema and the patient was promptly initiated on anti-tubercular treatment to which she responded well and showed clinical and radiological improvements.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
