Atypical fibroxanthoma (AFX) is a nodular dermal ulcerative lesion with a favorable prognosis. AFX most commonly occurs on sun-exposed skin in elderly individuals. AFX is characterized by its association with ultraviolet radiation, not only from a clinical aspect, but also from a molecular aspect. Making a diagnosis of AFX is challenging, and it is important to differentiate it from squamous ce...

PURPOSE To report a case of primary acquired melanosis (PAM) successfully treated with combined topical mitomycin C and interferon-α2b. CASE REPORT A 75-year-old man presented with an extensive unilateral pigmented lesion involving 360° of the bulbar conjunctiva, extending to the fornices and palpebral conjunctiva. Map biopsy confirmed PAM with local atypia. Treatment was initiated with mitom...

In contrast-enhanced DBT (CE-DBT), breast lesion vascularity is characterized by administrating an iodinated vascular contrast agent. In this work, a combined temporal and dual-energy (DE) subtraction CE-DBT technique was performed in 4 women with mammographic findings that warranted biopsy. Lesion enhancement characteristics and morphology obtained with both CE-DBT techniques are correlated to...

Concurrent lung cancer and coronary artery disease requiring treatment with percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass grafting is not rare. An individualized perioperative anticoagulation regimen and minimal surgical trauma will benefit the patient's postoperative recovery. We successfully treated a 68-year-old female patient with a lesion in the left anterior descending arte...

While high-resolution structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) combined with newer analysis methods has become a powerful tool in human cerebral lesion studies, comparatively few studies have used these advanced imaging techniques to study lesions of the human cerebellum and their associated symptoms. This review will summarize the methodology of MRI-based lesion-symptom mapping of the human...

D EFECTS in the atrial septum are of relatively great clinical importance. They are the most common of all congenital cardiac malformations, constituting as a single lesion 7 to 25 per cent' and as a combined lesion perhaps as high as 85 per cent2 of all congenital cardiac anomalies. Moreover, they are not infrequently accompanied by disturbances in circulation which cause symptoms sufficiently...

We present a system for computer aided diagnosis of bone tumors in the facial skeleton. There are many diierent lesions with ra-diographic manifestation in the jaws. Our system helps performing the diierential diagnosis of these. The input is a digitized orthopantomo-graph (OPG) in which the user marks the position of the lesion with a single mouse click. An active contour model then automatica...

Ulnar neuropathy at the wrist is rarely reported as complications of carpal tunnel release. Since it can sometimes be confused with recurrent median neuropathy at the wrist or ulnar neuropathy at the elbow, an electrodiagnostic study is useful for detecting the lesion in detail. We present a case of a 51-year-old woman with a two-week history of right ulnar palm and 5(th) digit tingling sensati...

BACKGROUND Duodenal Dieulafoy's lesions are rare and only several cases were reported so far. Their characteristic appearance and location make it difficult to be diagnosed in the clinical practice. Massive bleeding often results from these lesions and can impede the accurate early treatment. CASE PRESENTATION 67 years old male patient suffered a fatal bleeding from Dieulafoy-like lesion loca...
