Mixed type capillary-cavernous hemangioma is a rare vascular anomaly, with an intranodal localization being extremely rare. Its finding is often accidental but may be clinically symptomatic. The diagnosis relies on histopathology, showing a proliferation of capillaries and cavernous vessels filled with erythrocytes and lined by endothelial cells. Magnetic resonance imaging with enhanced and T2 STIR sequences is the most efficient imaging for diagnosing this type of hemangioma. Rarely, malignancy or another vascular lesion can be evoked as a differential diagnosis of mixed hemangioma. Treatment in this localization is often surgical, even if other possibilities exist for other areas. In this article, we describe a very rare case of intranodal capillary-cavernous hemangioma.

Abstract A rare case of a radiolucent osteoma of the skull is reported. The radiological and pathological findings of this lesion, including magnetic resonance imaging findings, are presented, and the efficacy of magnetic resonance imaging for the diagnosis of this skull tumor is evaluated. The differential diagnosis of radiolucent bone tumors is discussed.

Abstract Background Desmoplastic fibroblastoma is an uncommon, benign, fibrous tumor exhibiting infiltrative growth. Most of these tumors are small, slow-growing, and develop as subcutaneous lesions in the extremities. Cases of desmoplastic fibroblastoma in the chest wall are quite rare, and the preoperative diagnosis of such cases remains challenging as these tumors can mimic the characteristics of desmoid-type fibromatosis, which often occurs in the chest wall. We aimed to describe a rare case of desmoplastic fibroblastoma exhibiting rapid growth in the chest wall of a patient that was successfully treated with marginal excision only by diagnostic imaging before surgery. Case presentation A 79-year-old man was admitted to our hospital after experiencing right shoulder pain lasting for a few months. A 4 × 4 × 2 cm mass was incidentally detected at the right second rib two years prior. Chest computed tomography revealed a well-defined homogeneous mass with a muscle-like density along the right lateral chest wall, the size of which had increased to 12 × 10 × 4.5 cm in two years. Dynamic contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed abundant vascularity at the periphery of the tumor. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed iso-intensity to muscle on T1-weighted images, slightly high intensity on T2-weighted images, and rim-like contrast enhancement at the periphery of the tumor, with uniform thickness on gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted images with fat suppression. Rim-like contrast enhancement is an imaging feature that can distinguish cases of desmoplastic fibroblastoma from desmoid-type fibromatosis. We diagnosed the tumor as desmoplastic fibroblastoma by diagnostic imaging without tissue biopsy. Marginal excision with videoscopic assistance was performed through a small incision. The pathological diagnosis was desmoplastic fibroblastoma. The patient’s postoperative course was uneventful, and his shoulder pain was relieved after the surgery. Conclusions Desmoplastic fibroblastoma in the chest wall is extremely rare, but should be considered in the differential diagnosis when desmoid-type fibromatosis is clinically suspected. Gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging is helpful in confirming the differential diagnosis.

Abstract Background Management of postoperative chylothorax usually consists of nutritional regimens, pharmacological therapies such as octreotide, and surgical therapies such as ligation of thoracic duct, but a clear consensus is yet to be reached. Further, the variation of the thoracic duct makes chylothorax difficult to treat. This report describes a rare case of chylothorax with an aberrant thoracic duct that was successfully treated using focal pleurodesis through interventional radiology (IVR). Case presentation The patient was a 52-year-old man with chylothorax after a thoracoscopic oesophagectomy for oesophageal cancer. With conventional therapy, such as thoracostomy tube, octreotide or fibrogammin, a decrease in the amount of chyle was not achieved. Therefore, we performed lymphangiography and pleurodesis through IVR. The patient appeared to have an aberrant thoracic duct, as revealed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); however, after focal pleurodesis, the leak of chyle was diminished, and the patient was discharged 66 days after admission. Conclusions Chylothorax remains a difficult complication. Focal pleurodesis through IVR can be one of the options to treat chylothorax.

Plateau Fracture

Fat embolism syndrome (FES) is a complication of long bone fractures that often occurs within 72 hours of injury. Early-onset isolated cerebral fat embolism is catastrophic and rarely reported. We herein present a rare case of delayed-onset isolated cerebral FES that developed 10 days after definite fixation of a left tibial plateau fracture. A 70-year-old woman was injured in a traffic accident and diagnosed with a left tibial plateau fracture. However, she developed sudden loss of consciousness (E4V1M1) and quadriplegia 10 days after fracture fixation. Her vital signs showed no respiratory distress. Diagnosis of isolated cerebral FES was made based on magnetic resonance imaging of the brain, the findings of which were compatible with the clinical neurological findings. After supportive care and rehabilitation, her consciousness became clear on the second day of admission, and her consciousness changed to E4V5M6. She gradually regained strength in her right limbs but had residual left limb paraplegia. Isolated cerebral FES should always be considered for patients who develop a change in consciousness, even beyond 72 hours after injury. Imaging may not initially show definitive abnormalities. Repeated magnetic resonance imaging should be considered if the initial clinical presentation does not fully meet Gurd’s criteria.

The peroneus quartus muscle is an accessory muscle seen in the lateral compartment of the lower leg. Although the peroneus quartus muscle is asymptomatic in general, it sometimes becomes pathologic. We present the rare case of bilateral ankle pain with crepitation caused by the peroneus quartus muscle. Magnetic resonance imaging should be considered to assist with diagnosing this condition. Foot and ankle surgeons should consider it in the preoperative differential diagnosis when patients present with posterior ankle pain.
