ABSTRACT

Chondrosarcoma of sternal origin is extremely rare. Here, we present the case of a 59-year-old male who presented with gradually increasing swelling and pain over the left sternoclavicular joint which was diagnosed as chondrosarcoma of sternal origin. We also present a review of the relevant literature.

ABSTRACT

Rib caries with a cold abscess is a rare presentation of tuberculosis (TB) and is tricky to diagnose. It is rarer in young patients, especially in conjunction with active miliary TB. We present one such case of a 23-year-old male patient who presented with swelling over the left lower chest. Rib caries and cold abscess were initially detected by ultrasonography and elastography. The rib involvement and the extent of the cold abscess were further evaluated on a computed tomography scan, which also showed active pulmonary miliary TB. The patient was treated by aspiration of the cold abscess and anti-tuberculosis therapy. The fact that the patient had no history of diabetes, alcoholism, human immunodeficiency virus infection, or immunodeficiency disorder increases the rarity of this case. This case highlights the role of imaging in diagnosing rib caries, cold abscess, and miliary TB.

ABSTRACT

Intussusception in adults is an unusual finding and is commonly associated with benign or malignant mass as the leading point. A preoperative diagnosis on imaging is helpful in diagnosing intussusception along with pathology causing it and aids in further management. We present a case of ileocolic intussusception with lipoma as the lead point: classic ultrasonography and CT imaging findings are described with its postoperative confirmation.

ABSTRACT

The commonest solid tumour in men between the ages of 15 and 44 is testicular cancer. Germ cell tumours, which are then subdivided into seminomatous and non-seminomatous tumours, are its primary histological kind. In the fourth decade of a man's life, seminoma accounts for 55% of testicular cancer. Anaplastic seminoma, which accounts for 5% to 15% of testicular seminoma, is an uncommon kind of seminoma. The anaplastic variant of classical seminoma is an uncommon type of seminoma. In order to increase confidence in diagnosing and differentiating benign from malignant lesions and localising lesions in the testis, tissue elastography has arisen as a definite, important supplementary method. We present a case report of anaplastic seminoma with its classical imaging findings on strain elastography and its correlation with ultrasound and doppler.
