A 47-year-old man underwent ceramic cup arthroplasty when he was 22 years old. Revision total hip arthroplasty was performed 25 years later because of limited range of motion without implant loosening. Histologic examination revealed that the femoral head and ceramic implant were well fixed through a thin fibrous membrane. The energy-dispersive X-ray analysis indicated that calcium and phosphor...

Primary chondrosarcoma originating from the bronchus is very rare. We describe the case of a 71 year old man with a large chondrosarcoma originating from the left lower lobe bronchus. The tumour was resected and, in contrast to most patients with such tumours, this patient is well, without complaints or abnormalities on X-ray or computed tomographic (CT) scan, 3 yrs after surgery. Tumour charac...

Coming in close succession, major authenticity scandals in 1997 and 1999 involving photographs attributed to Man Ray and Lewis Hine sent a shudder of uncertainty across the collecting community. The realization that those at the top of the marketplace, including museums, private collectors, dealers, and auction houses, were vulnerable to fraud brought a heightened awareness that the value of a ...

We present a case of a 27-year-old man with a history of weight loss. A chest x-ray demonstrated hilar lymphadenopathy and he was treated with anti tuberculosis treatment. He noticed a painless left scrotal swelling and a scrotal ultrasound scan raised the possibility of testicular cancer. He underwent an orchidectomy and histology confirmed a testicular sarcoidosis. He was commenced on steroid...

Case report of a 49-year-old man, presenting chest pain and bloody sputum for six months. Chest X-ray and computed tomography scan showed opacification on the left upper lobe. The bronchoscopy showed bronchial hemorrhage in the lingular bronchial segment. Due to diagnostic and therapeutic needs, this patient underwent a left inframammilary thoracotomy. The anatomopathological analysis of the su...

Materials and methods A 71-year-old man came to our Surgical Unit with features of dyspepsia, severe constipation and occasional but increasing episodes of incomplete bowel obstruction accompanied by abdominal distension and pain. Standard chest X-rays showed intestinal gas associated with a reduced diminished pulmonary volume in the left hemithorax (Figure1A). Contrast medium X-ray of the uppe...

Aneurysms of the intrathoracic subclavian artery are extremely rare. A 74 year-old man was referred to our hospital with an abnormal chest X-ray film. Contrast computed tomography revealed an intrathoracic left subclavian artery aneurysm. Via left 4th posterolateral thoracotomy, the aneurysm was exposed under systemic deep hypothermia and circulatory arrest. The distal arch was replaced with a ...

Diffuse pulmonary ossification is a rare condition of unknown pathogenesis in which mature bone is found in the pulmonary parenchyma. It is almost invariably discovered as an incidental finding at autopsy. Most commonly, it affects middle-aged men and is asymptomatic. We present the case of a 75-year-old man in which the chest X-ray showed diffuse interstitial infiltrate. Diagnosis was based on...
