Pagets Disease Of The Nipple

Pagets disease of uncertain origin: case report

BACKGROUND Pagets disease of the nipple presents as an eczematous lesion, occurs in 1 - 4% of all female breast carcinoma cases and is invariably associated with underlying malignancy either overt or occult. The majority of these cases are invasive disease although 40-45% are associated with DCIS. CASE PRESENTATION A 39 year old lady presented to our unit with a palpable lump in the right bre...

Hemichorea-hemiballism: an explanation for MR signal changes.

PURPOSE Some cases of hemichorea-hemiballism (HCHB) are associated with a hyperintense putamen on T1-weighted MR images, the cause of which remains unclear. Our purpose was to determine the cause and significance of these MR signal changes. METHODS We analyzed the clinical and neuroimaging findings in 10 patients with HCHB, focusing on locations of the hyperintense lesions on T1-weighted imag...

MR labeling information for implants and devices: explanation of terminology.

Frank G. Shellock, PhD Terry O. Woods, PhD John V. Crues III, MD The magnetic resonance (MR) environment may pose risks or problems to patients with certain implants and other medical devices primarily due to factors that include electromagnetic field interactions, MR imaging–related heating, and the creation of artifacts (1–5). In addition, for electrically activated implants and other medical...

99mTc-MIBI scan in mammary Pagets disease: a case report.

Technetium-99m methoxyisobutylisonitrile (99mTc-MIBI) uptake is known to be increased in breast cancer because of increased blood flow from angiogenesis and heightened metabolism. We performed a 99mTc-MIBI scan in a patient with mammary Paget's disease. The patient had underlying invasive cancer in the same side of the breast. 99mTc-MIBI scan exhibited a scintigraphic image of the uptake from t...
