The investigation of embedded soft tissue foreign bodies relies heavily on radiological imaging. The prompt identification of these objects is critical as retained foreign bodies may lead to serious infection or chronic debilitating pain depending on anatomical location. In this report, we present a case of a radiographically occult traumatically i...

Tubulinopathies are a heterogeneous group of complex cortical malformations that are associated with mutations in tubulin genes. TUBB3 gene mutation is associated with a broader spectrum of central nervous system malformations and constitutes about 10% of all tubulinopathies. The diagnosis may not be immediately apparent on imaging, though the diff...

Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a rare fatal central nervous system disorder characterized by infection-induced demyelination of white matter due to the opportunistic reactivation of John Cunningham virus in an immunocompromised patient. PML is associated with many immune-mediated diseases, lymphoproliferative conditions, and im...

The overall incidence of postpartum invasive group A streptococcal (GAS) disease is low in the United States. However, postpartum women are much more likely to develop GAS disease than nonpregnant women. Additionally, postpartum GAS has the potential to develop into a severe disease and a delay in diagnosis can have deadly consequences. This case d...

Giant pheochromocytomas (Pheo) are rare entities requiring clinical suspicion coupled with strategic diagnostic evaluation to confirm the diagnosis. The majority of cases are discovered incidentally. The diagnosis consists of biochemical evaluation and imaging study to localize the mass. Pathological examination confirms the diagnosis. The female p...

Paraneoplastic syndromes, although rare, have been associated with lymphoproliferative disorders. Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL) is the most common lymphoid neoplasm known to cause paraneoplastic syndromes. These syndromes can often be the earliest manifestation of the underlying malignancy, and treating the underlying lymphoma can cure the paraneoplastic...

... 7 Radiographic identification plays a crucial role in the diagnosis of esophageal FB, especially in the recognition of FB embedded in soft tissue. 8 However, for patients with clear principal complaints, accompanied by obvious pain, FB sensation, and respiratory distress symptoms, radiographic identification is not mandatory and emergency endoscopic examinations should not be delayed. In cases where the properties and location of the FB can be seen and determined by endoscopy, emergency surgery should first be performed to remove the FB, followed by relevant radiographic identification to help determine the occurrence of complications such as esophageal perforation. ...
... Peripartum group A streptococcus (GAS) sepsis is a rare yet highly morbid cause of puerperal sepsis that poses significant challenges in diagnosis and management [1][2][3]. Despite clinical advances, systemic consequences of invasive GAS infections have a propensity to escalate rapidly, affecting multiple organ systems and leading to severe morbidity and mortality [4][5][6]. ...
... It was interesting that all these cases to date the giant PCC was mainly cystic. Ologun et al. [8] reported a case of 20 cm solid PCC, but did not mention their surgical approach. ...
