BACKGROUD Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is an uncommon entity of proliferative lesion of the synovium, presenting with different clinical signs and symptoms. PVNS rarely forms an osteolytic lesion in a bone. Here we report a unique case of PVNS with a nodular lesion in the left patella. CASE PRESENTATION A 37-year-old female was referred to our hospital with complaints of ongoing le...

purpose: to report the clinical and histopathological features of recurrent atypical fibrous histiocytoma of the corneo-scleral limbus followed by intra-epithelial squamous neoplasia. case report: a 25-year-old female patient presented with a recurrent vascularized gelatinous mass in the left nasal limbus. the preliminary histopathological diagnosis of the previously excised lesion was an amela...

Aim. To investigate the diagnostic yield and etiologies of patients with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB) using capsule endoscopy (CE) or double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE). Method. We studied the data of 532 consecutive patients with OGIB that were referred to Xinqiao Hospital in Chongqing from December 2005 to January 2012. A lesion that was believed to be the source of the bleeding (ul...

Radiologists generally use multiple mammographic views to detect and characterize suspicious regions. When radiologists discover a suspicious lesion in one view, they try to find a corresponding lesion in the other views. Views from different projections, typically cranio caudal (CC) and medio lateral oblique (MLO) views, allow for a better realization of the lesion. Most current computer aided...

Design We report the case of an incidental pituitary mass discovered in the context of bilateral cavernous sinus thrombosis due to a bacterial pansinusitis. Conclusions Magnetic resonance imaging features of the pituitary lesion, together with transient central hypogonadism and total regression of the mass after anticoagulation and antimicrobial therapy, suggest that this lesion is a pituitary ...

Gastritis cystica profunda (GCP) is a rare, benign lesion of the stomach characterized by polypoid hyperplasia and/or ulcerated mucosal lesion and cystic dilatation of the gastric glands extending into the submucosa or muscularis propria of the stomach. Its etiology and pathogenesis are still incompletely understood. The most important factor is assumed to be a history of prior gastric surgery....

BACKGROUND Fourth ventricle mass lesion in neurosarcoidosis is very rare and difficult to be diagnosed pathologically. We report a rare case of progressive hydrocephalus associated with neurosarcoidosis mass lesion located at the fourth ventricle outlet and suprasellar region. CASE DESCRIPTION A 23-year-old man had a disturbance of consciousness and neck stiffness with fever. Magnetic resonan...

Abstract A 5‐year‐old, male, neutered lurcher dog was presented for investigation of a cranial abdominal mass and suspected acute pancreatitis.

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS We report on a 75-year-old man who was admitted due to pancreatic cystic lesion accompanied by a solid mass with liver metastasis. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) was performed on the solid mass, and pathological findings revealed the lesion to be an adenocarcinoma diagnosed as intraductal papillary mucinous carcinoma (IPMC). Approximately...

mesoblastic nephroma is a rare entity in adulthood. we report a case of mesoblastic nephroma in a 35-year-old woman who presented with left flank pain. computed tomography images favored a soft tissue mass in the upper pole of the left kidney. the lesion was excised and sent for pathological analysis. pathological and immunohisto- chemical studies favored a diagnosis of mesoblastic nephroma.
