Hemangiomas are the most common benign tumors of the liver, considered giant when they exceed 50-100 mm in diameter. In the present report, we present a case of a 5.2-kg hemangioma of the right hepatic lobe, with hemangiomatous foci in the left lobe, which was incidentally diagnosed in a 53-year-old
A case of XXY Klinefelter's syndrome associated with bilateral cryptochidism, -ultiple capillary hemangiomas and vesical telangiectasia is reported. Testicular biopsy revealed Leydig cell hyperplasia with hyalinization of the seminiferous tubular membrane. The patient presented with recurrent
BACKGROUND
Cavernous hemangiomas of the uterus are rare benign vascular lesions. Nine cases of diffuse cavernous hemangioma of the gravid uterus have been reported, most of which diffusely involved the myometrium. These vascular malformations are clinically significant, and may cause pronounced
A 32-year-old man with a history of delayed puberty and obesity was seen initially with bitemporal hemianopsia and headache in 1974. Neuroradiologic studies showed a mass in the chiasmatic cistern and hypothalamus. Surgical exploration of the chiasm was unrevealing. Slowly progressive memory loss
A 30-year-old obese patient with a rapidly progressing chiasmal syndrome presented with acute bitemporal hemianopia, severe bilateral amblyopia, mental confusion, and lethargy. X-ray films of the skull showed a normal sella turcica and computed tomography scan as well as angiography revealed a
METHODS
This cross-sectional study was carried out on 196 adults (98 men and 98 women), aged between 18 and 91 years.
OBJECTIVE
To examine whether vertebral hemangiomas (VHs) are associated with other spinal pathologies, metabolic diseases, cardiovascular diseases, cancer and past trauma, to shed
Obesity is associated with a risk of at least 20 different cancers. We aimed at defining cancer risks in prospectively recruited patients with a novel subgroup, those with a family history of obesity. We defined a cohort of 30 020 patients who had been hospitalized since 1964. Cancer risks in these
A 42-year-old, non-obese man with a three-month history of headache, pulsatile tinnitus, transient visual obscurations, and scintillations later developed low back pain with right lower extremity radiation. Brain MRI and magnetic resonance venography were normal, but spine MRI revealed a mass in the
BACKGROUND
The purpose of the present study was to compare iissue harmonic imaging (THI) and conventional sonography in focal hepatic lesions.
METHODS
Fifty patients with focal hepatic lesions were enrolled for study. Conventional grayscale and THI was performed in all the patients and two sets of
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the presence of liver lesions and their relation with vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) exposure or other personal risk factors, in workers involved in the production of VCM and polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
METHODS
A liver ultrasonography examination was conducted in 757 workers,
We report an unusual case of encephalotrigeminal angiomatosis in which the facial and oral angioma was bilateral, and several teeth were congenitally absent. The developmental nature of the anomaly is reviewed. Encephalotrigeminal angiomatosis is commonly referred to as the Sturge-Weber syndrome,
ACTH-independent Cushing's syndrome (CS) usually results from a solitary adrenocortical adenoma. We recently encountered a patient with ACTH-independent CS associated with bilateral adrenal enlargement. The evaluation led us to consider some rare but interesting entities. The patient was a 69
Purpose: The abdominal magnetic resonance (MR) examinations have been increasingly applied in patients with obesity. However, few studies analyzed the appropriateness of this examination. This study is aimed to evaluate the feasibility and clinical value of upper
Color Doppler sonography (CDS--spectral, color and power), harmonic imaging techniques (THI, PHI), possibility of 3D analysis of picture, usage of contrast agents, have raised the values of ultrasound as a diagnostic method to a very high level. THI--non-linear gray scale modality, is based on the
In recent years, therapeutic methods have been effective in the management of snoring and sleep apnea. Successful results have been possible through conservative and surgical approaches when the nature and site of obstruction is ascertained by careful investigation. Sagittal magnetic resonance
