摘要:

Castleman disease is a rare benign lymphoid tumour of uncertain aetiology that usually appears as a solitary mediastinal mass. We report a rare case of Castleman disease in the right paracardiac pleural space, occurring in a young woman with non-specific chest discomfort. MRI showed a well-defined, oval mass that was slightly hyperintense onT1weighted images, inhomogeneously hyperintense onT2and enhancedT1weighted images. The patient underwent radical tumour resection and has remained well for 8 years.

摘要:

Congenital mesoblastic nephroma is the most common renal mass in the newborn period and can present with atypical findings. Certain associated conditions such as hypercalcaemia, hypertension and reninism have been described. We report a cellular variant of congenital mesoblastic nephroma with hypercalcaemia and contralateral medullary nephrocalcinosis.

摘要:

We report a case of thoracic sclerosing haemangioma with concomitant pulmonary and mediastinal involvement in a 19-year-old girl who presented with haemoptysis and dyspnoea. CT showed a large oval mass in the left lower lobe and another larger dumbbell-shaped mass in the posterior mediastinum. Both masses were well-defined and harboured punctate calcifications. They exhibited inhomogeneous contrast enhancement and contained some cystic areas. In addition, an air meniscus sign was present around the pulmonary lesion.

摘要:

Although coronary subclavian steal syndrome (CSSS) is relatively uncommon, it is a well documented cause of graft failure in patients having undergone coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) using the left internal mammary artery (LIMA). Here we report a case of CSSS induced by restenosis of a left subclavian artery (SCA) origin stent, identified by increased velocities within the stent and an abnormal ipsilateral vertebral artery (VA) waveform on Duplex ultrasound imaging. This was successfully treated percutaneously by re-stenting, resulting in restoration of normal SCA waveforms and velocities, and normalization of the ipsilateral VA waveform.

摘要:

Tuberculous abscesses of the chest wall, though uncommon are not infrequently encountered in countries endemic to the disease. This pictorial review of 14 patients highlights the varied appearance of tuberculosis (TB) of the chest wall on CT. The patients ranged in age from 9 to 55 years (a mean of 25 years) with a preponderance of chest wall lesions in young adults and in females (male to female ratio of 2:5). Cases in which there was no involvement of the chest wall other than of the spine have been excluded. In all cases CT demonstrated peripherally enhancing chest wall collections some of which were accompanied by changes in adjacent bone. Enlargement of intrathoracic lymph nodes with comparatively lesser involvement of lung parenchyma and pleura was also seen.
