F-18 FDG PET/CT provides an accurate staging and post-therapeutic evaluation of melanoma based on high metabolic characteristics of its primary and secondary lesions. This functional imaging modality may, however, detect coexisting benign lesions of inflammatory or infectious origin mimicking malignancy thus interfering with the staging of cancer. The authors present a case of ruptured epiderma...

Intraosseous uncommon lesions can develop result trauma (puncture wound or pressure erosion). typically affect toes, phalanges, and head. The distal phalanx fingers is where phalangeal involvement most freque...

Epidermoid cysts are common benign tumors comprising around 1% and 2% of all intracranial tumors. Their usual locations include the parasellar region cerebellopontine angle, less commonly, Sylvian fissure, suprasellar region, cerebral, cerebellar hemispheres. located in brain stem rare. These epidermoid similar to epidermoids arising skin which contain cheesy flaky-white soft pultaceous materia...

Abstract Pilomatricomas are a frequently misdiagnosed benign neoplasm of the skin derived from hair matrix cells. may undergo calcification and ossification although latter is rare poorly documented, with only eight cases reported since 2006. We present case pilomatricoma osseous metaplasia arising scalp in an 87-year-old female patient. She was referred by her general practitioner via two-week...
