ABSTRACT

Delay in diagnosis of pregnancy-associated breast cancer (PABC) is common, often attributed to the difficulty in evaluating tumours in the gravid breast, low awareness among physicians and reluctance of patients and physicians to perform imaging or invasive procedures during pregnancy. Familiarity with imaging features of PABC is crucial for prompt diagnosis. This article illustrates imaging findings of PABC and provides an approach for the evaluation of pregnant and lactating women with palpable abnormalities.

ABSTRACT

Cytomegalovirus is a known opportunistic infection in immunocompromised individuals. We document multiple cavitating lung masses caused by cytomegalovirus in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis-induced interstitial lung disease on immunosuppressant medication, an unusual expression of CMV pneumonitis. With increasing use of immunosuppressive therapy and increase in AIDS, pulmonary cytomegalovirus infection is expected to be a more frequently encountered disease and familiarity with its uncommon radiological manifestations will be advantageous.

ABSTRACT

In this article we would like to highlight uterine pseudoaneurysm as a cause of secondary post-partum haemorrhage following Caesarean section. We would like to stress Doppler ultrasound scan as the initial screening modality for this condition. We also describe angioembolization as the prudent treatment option for this condition rather than resorting to surgery.

ABSTRACT

Invasive fungal mastoiditis is a rare entity, seen almost entirely in immunocompromized patients. It has been reported primarily in patients with leukaemia and more recently with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. A literature search revealed only a few reports in diabetic patients, in whom the invasive fungus was identified as mucormycosis in all cases. We report the first case in the English literature of invasive septate fungal mastoiditis in a diabetic patient with intact tympanic membranes.
