Respiratory epithelial adenomatoid (READ) hamartoma is a recently described entity characterized by abnormal glandular formations arising from the epithelium of the nasal cavity. The etiology of the lesion is unclear and may be secondary to either sinonasal inflammation or developmental error. We present a case of a 54-year-old man with a unilateral nasal mass found to be consistent with READ h...

definitive diagnosis should be based on the presence or absence of extracutaneous disease at diagnosis. Testicular B-cell lymphoma can also affect the skin and its pathologic and immunophenotypic characteristics are indistinguishable from those of PCDLBCL, leg type; routine testicular examination is therefore recommended in appropriate cases. We have reported a case of systemic DLBCL diagnosed ...

Iliotibial band (ITB) friction syndrome is a common overuse injury typically seen in the active athlete population. A nodular lesion on the inner side of the ITB as an etiology or an accompanying lesion from friction syndrome has been rarely reported. A 45-year-old male presented with recurrent pain and a movable nodule at the lateral joint area, diagnosed as ITB friction syndrome. The nodule w...

A 45-year-old man presented with a six-month history of progressive dyspnea with productive cough and wheezing. The patient was a heavy smoker and had a history of tongue cancer, hypertension, and asthma. Chest X-ray and computed tomography showed a mass lesion in the left hilar region and total collapse of the upper left lobe of the lung. Bronchoscopy revealed a whitish solid tumor obstructing...

Materials and Methods: Fourteen women who had DCE-MRI and DWI prior to and after two cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy due to breast cancer in same consoles had been included. Lesion size and degree of peak enhancement derived from DCE-MRI, and the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value derived from ADC mapping were compared between lesions with and without pathologic complete response (pC...

Squamous metaplasia is an abnormal epithelial differentiation represented on the ocular surface by a spectrum of skin-like changes of conjunctival and corneal epithelium. This pathologic condition can be observed in a variety of ocular surface disorders, including systemic vitamin A deficiency and cicatricial keratoconjunctivitis. We recently encountered a patient with a progressively enlarging...

PURPOSE The author presents imaging findings of patients that underwent partial resection of the breast followed by absorbable mesh implantation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ultrasonographic (n = 18) and mammographic (n = 11) images of patients that had undergone absorbable mesh implantation after breast partial resection were reviewed retrospectively. Sequential changes of the lesions were analyze...

OBJECTIVE Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is a valid surrogate for hemodynamic significance in stenotic native coronary arteries, but its validity in patients with coronary stent restenosis is unknown. DESIGN Prospective. SETTING University hospital. PATIENTS We studied 42 patients (mean age +/- 1 SD, 62 +/- 10 years) with stent restenosis and 57 patients (mean age, 61 +/- 12 years) with a ...

conclusions psa, psa density, and gleason score should be considered together in order to more accurately predict the adverse pathologic features of prostate cancer. methods we conducted a cross-sectional study of 105 patients with localized prostate cancer who underwent radical prostatectomy between 2006 and 2013. we recorded gleason scores and psa levels, in addition to the results of patholo...
