Solitary spinal epidural cavernous angiomas are rare lesions, especially in paediatric age group. They are infrequently considered in the differential diagnosis of spinal epidural masses in children. We report a case of solitary epidural cavernous angioma of the thoracic spine in a child presenting with acute onset of back pain and myelopathy. Magnetic resonance imaging of the thoracic spine de...

Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon (KMP) is a rare consumptive coagulopathy associated with specific vascular tumors, kaposiform hemangioendothelioma, and tufted angioma. Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon, characterized by profound thrombocytopenia, hypofibrinogenemia, elevated fibrin split products, and rapid tumor growth, can be life-threatening. Severe symptomatic anemia may also be present. With prompt ...

Tufted angioma is a rare vascular tumor most commonly localized to the skin and subcutaneous tissues and characterized by slow angiomatous proliferation. Although adult-onset cases, with subcutaneous manifestations but not the deep presentation, have been fewly described, tufted angiomas occur far more frequently in children. These tumors have a benign course, with no reported cases of aggressi...

PURPOSE To determine the stability and quality of MR temperature mapping using the proton resonance frequency (PRF) method in the liver of hepatic tumor patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS The standard deviation (SD) of a series of temperature maps was determined in 30 patients (21 patients with cirrhotic livers with carcinoma, and nine patients with noncirrhotic livers with metastasis or angioma...
