Neglected bilateral radial head fracture with a rare presentation: A case report.

ABSTRACT: Isolated radial head fractures are rare and comprise about 2% of all fractures around the elbow. Bilateral radial head fractures are even rarer and few cases have been reported. We present a case of bilateral elbow effusion in a 28-year-old male patient. An initial diagnosis of inflammatory arthritis was made but on investigation it turned out to be a case of bilateral radial head fracture. The patient was managed conservatively with 10 days of immobilisation in above elbow slab followed by active elbow range of movement exercises. On follow-up at 6 months, the patient had near normal range of movements without pain or elbow instability.

Bilateral Malignant Mesothelioma of Tunica Vaginalis A Case Report on Rare Presentation.

Project description:Malignant mesothelioma involving the para-testicular tunica is extremely rare and an aggressive tumor. Bilateral malignant mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis is not reported previously in the literature. Rarity of the disease, absence of any specific clinical and radiological findings makes the preoperative diagnosis difficult. Aggressive surgical approach is the key to successful management with high inguinal orchiectomy and scrotectomy appears to be optimal treatment in patients with localized disease.

A Rare Case of Posttraumatic Bilateral BPPV Presentation.

Project description:A rare case of a 38-year-old female patient who developed benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) three weeks after head trauma is presented. The disease manifested bilaterally, which is not uncommon posttraumatically, but in this case, it manifested itself as canalithiasis of the posterior canal on both sides and cupulolithiasis of the right lateral canal, which to our knowledge is a unique and, until now, unpublished case. The aim of this review is to point out the fact that, in such a complex multicanal and bilateral clinical presentation of BPPV, it is not sufficient to perform only positioning but also additional laboratory tests. With a good knowledge of the etiopathogenesis, pathophysiology and clinical forms of BPPV, we can, in most cases, make an accurate and precise diagnosis of the disease and carry out appropriate treatment.

Volar dislocation of the ulnar head after distal radial fracture: Case report and review of the pertinent literature.

Project description:IntroductionWe report the case of volar dislocation of the ulnar head occurred after osteosynthesis for the treatment of distal radius fracture.Presentation of caseThe patient, 68-year-old female, had the dorsal displaced left distal radius fracture and volar dislocation of the ulnar head. Osteosynthesis was performed using a volar locking plate without postoperative immobilization. Two weeks after surgery, volar dislocation of the ulnar head in distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) was noted on CT. Re-operation, triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) was sutured to the ulnar fovea using a suture anchor, was performed in order to stabilize DRUJ. At 24 months after surgery, left wrist joint pain and the range of motion have improved, and the Mayo wrist score was excellent.DiscussionBased on the fact that the radius was fractured and the ulna was dislocated in DRUJ at the time of injury, the present case may have been a Galeazzi fracture.ConclusionWhen distal radius fracture is complicated by ulnar instability of DRUJ, active repair of the TFCC function may be necessary to prevent residual postoperative instability.

Hemorrhagic cholecystitis with rare imaging presentation: a case report and a lesson learned from neglected medication history of NSAIDs.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Gallbladder carcinogenesis, frequently occurredin chronic cholecystitis patients, requires radical resection. We herein describe a hemorrhagic cholecystitis case that failed to be differentiated from gallbladder cancer preoperatively owing to the neglected medication history of long term oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSIADs) intake. CASE PRESENTATION:A 57-year-old Chinese female was admitted for right upper quadrant pain with the initial diagnosis of cholecystitis. Radiological studies were unable to exclude the differential diagnosis of suspected gallbladder cancer. During the scheduled radical resection of the suspected lesions, the gross dissection showed an interesting presentation of hemorrhagic cholecystitis, without any pathological evidence of malignancies. Additional postoperative investigation revealed a neglected medication history of long-term NSAIDs use. CONCLUSIONS:This case suggests the importance of preoperative review of medication history and patient education on prescription drug abuse.

Multiple chromoanasynthesis in a rare case of sporadic renal leiomyosarcoma: case report

Project description:Renal leiomyosarcomas (LMS) are extremely rare neoplasms with aggressive behaviour and poor survival prognosis. The most frequent somatic events in leiomyosarcomas are mutations in TP53, RB1, ATRX and PTEN genes, chromosomal instability and chromoanagenesis. By using chromosomal microarray analysis we identified monosomy of chromosomes 3 and 11, gain of Xp (ATRX) arm and three chromoanasynthesis regions (6q21-q27, 7p22.3-p12.1 and 12q13.11-q21.2), with MDM2 and CDK4 oncogenes copy number gains, whereas no CNVs or tumor specific SNVs in TP53, RB1 and PTEN genes were observed.

Bilateral sporadic carotid body tumors-A rare case report.

Project description:Carotid body tumor presents as palpable mass in anterolateral aspect of the neck. However, bilateral sporadic carotid body tumor is a rare anomaly, reported to occur in 5% of population. We are going to report the case of a 60-year-old patient who presented to our department with painless, palpable mass bilaterally in anterolateral aspects of the neck. He did not have any family history of neck masses. This paper summarizes the topic of carotid body tumor and discusses the radiological and clinical implications of this condition.

Rare isolated trapezoid fracture: a case report.

Project description:Isolated fractures of the trapezoid are rare. Of all of the fractures of the carpus, the most common is the scaphoid, which represents 68.2% of all carpal fractures (Papp, Orthop Clin N Am 38:251-60, 2007). In contrast, trapezoid fractures represent 0.4% of all carpal injuries. Because it is an infrequently fractured carpal bone, there is a wide variety of treatment plans, including rest, immobilization, and surgery (Green and Pederson, Green's Operative Hand Surgery, Elsevier, Philadelphia, 759 pp, 2005). In this report, we describe a patient who presented with an isolated fracture of the trapezoid that was successfully treated with cast immobilization and had a full functional recovery.

Rare gastrointestinal presentation of systemic mastocytosis, a case report.

Project description:IntroductionSystemic mastocytosis is a rare disease resulting from infiltration of atypical mast cells in multiple organ systems and present with variety of symptoms. Primary appendiceal and cecal mass with isolated abdominal pain as a presenting feature in systemic mastocytosis have not been reported in literature up to now.Case reportWe described a 69- years-old female with systemic mastocytosis who presented with chronic abdominal pain and recent progression. On imaging of the abdomen and pelvis showed a mass in cecum. The patient underwent surgery and histopathologic evaluation of cecal and appendiceal masses revealed uniform small round cell tumor with eosinophilic cytoplasm admixed with many eosinophils distorting normal colonic mucosal architecture. The neoplastic cells showed positive expression of CD117 and Mast cell tryptase. According to all these considerations systemic mastocytosis was confirmed as the diagnosis.ConclusionIsolated abdominal pain and primary large intestinal mass are uncommon features of systemic mastocytosis. This case report informed physicians and pathologists to consider it as one of differential diagnosis.
