Paratracheal Air Cyst

A tracheal diverticulum is a type of paratracheal air cyst and is usually an incidental finding after a computed tomography scan of the neck and thorax. With an incidence between 1% and 4% in adults, tracheal diverticula are rare entities that can be symptomatic in certain cases. We present a case of a COVID-19 positive patient who presented to our hospital and was diagnosed with multiple tracheal diverticula during his hospitalization.

Two cases of aberrant subclavian arteries were detected incidentally during computed tomography scan of the thorax for other medical conditions. The patients did not have weight loss or dysphagia lusoria. The origin and course of theaberrant subclavian arteries are related to the anomaly of the aortic arch. The variations of aberrant right subclavian artery with left aortic arch and aberrant left subclavian artery with right aortic arch on computed tomography are discussed.Journal of Kathmandu Medical CollegeVol. 3, No. 4, Oct.-Dec., 2014Page: 162-164

ABSTRACT Cutaneous tuberculosis (TB) is an uncommon form of extrapulmonary TB that can be difficult to diagnose. The following case is about a 14-year-old female who was experiencing delayed wound healing after an incision and drainage of a chest wall abscess. A computed tomography scan of her chest obtained 2 months after the procedure revealed pulmonary findings consistent with TB. An acid-fast bacilli culture was obtained from the wound after the computed tomography scan was performed and was positive for Mycobacterium tuberculosis 8 weeks later. Although TB is relatively uncommon in the United States, it is more prevalent in the Republic of Korea where the patient lives and was evaluated. This case serves to illustrate the long history of challenges the military medical community has faced with TB and to remind providers to be cognizant about local common diseases when serving overseas and include these diagnoses in their differentials.

Inferior vena cava anomaly is usually asymptomatic. It is rare and commonly detected while performing abdominal imaging for other clinical situations. The anomalies can mimic normal anatomical structures. Thus, the identification of the anomalies is important to avoid complication during abdominal procedures. We report two cases of inferior vena cava anomalies found during Computed Tomography scan of our elective cases.

We describe a case of a 63-year-old woman referred to an oncologist for treatment of endometrial adenocarcinoma. A computed tomography scan revealed the incidental finding of a 11.5 × 10.5 × 9.0 cm myomatous mass in the uterine corpus adjacent to, yet uninvolved with, the adenocarcinoma. Histopathological analysis confirmed the mass to be a lipoleiomyoma, a rare single variant of lipoma. These fatty tumors present similar to leiomyomas and as such are generally not harmful; however, the potential exists for diagnostic confusion with other uterine tumors. This case serves to further illuminate the findings associated with these rare tumors.

Tomography Scan

A fracture to the intermediate cuneiform that was not definitively detected on routine radiographs because of the overlap of the cuneiform was presented. Weightbearing x-rays did not provide additional information. The anatomical location of the fracture was identified only after a computed tomography scan was performed. An incidental finding, bilateral bipartite medial cuneiforms, was also observed on the computed tomography scan, which contributed to the overlap on routine radiographs. The anatomy of the bipartite medial cuneiforms seen on computed tomography was similar to that described by Barlow in 1942. Retrospective comparison to the initial radiographs with the computed tomography scan sections did reveal bipartite medial cuneiforms on these films as well. The podiatric physician should keep bipartition in mind when evaluating x-rays for any osseous pathology, especially fractures.
