AbstractHemangiomas of the rib are extremely rare benign neoplasm. Here we present a case in a 47-year-old female, detected by chest X-ray and underwent a surgical resection. Histologically, the tumor was composed of a homogeneous conglomerate, irregular, thin walled and dilated blood vessels containing red blood cells, supported by fibrous stroma and intermingled to regular bone trabeculae. The postoperative courses were uneventful, and there was no recurrence during 64 months follow-up.

Fetus acardius amorphous is a rare fetal malformation, lacking a functional heart and bearing no resemblance to human embryos. The main differential diagnosis is with placental teratoma and is based on the degree of skeletal organization and umbilical cord formation. A 27-year old woman delivered a healthy newborn at 36 weeks gestation. An oval well defined mass, covered with normal looking skin, was connected to the placenta with a thin walled vessel. X-ray examination of the mass revealed the presence of vertebral column. Histopathologic examination demonstrated the presence admixture of tissues including neural tissue, osteoid, cartilage, muscle, fat etc. beneath the skin. The rarity of fetal monsters without a functioning heart is emphasized.

Pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma is a rare benign neoplasm of the lung and predominantly occurs in female patients. Commonly, it presents as asymptomatic solitary pulmonary nodule on chest radiograph. We report a case of pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma who presented with fever and chest x-ray and computed tomography revealed cavitary lesion and mediastinal lymphadenopathy . The chest imaging findings were mimicking bronchial carcinoma. On histopathology and immune-cyto-histochemistry, we found her as having pulomonary sclerosisng hemangioma.The patient is now on follow up without any progression of the disease for last two months.

A boy aged 1year presented with persistent cough, sputum and fever for last two months which is did not subside in spite of empirical mediacal therapy. For last 15 days symptoms started to aggravate and not responding to medical management. Chest X-ray showed a pin in the right main bronchus with more radiolucency of right lung. CT scan of chest revealed radiodense linear opacity in the right lower lobe primary and secondary bronchus with partial collapse consolidation of right lower lobe medial basal and lateral basal segment. Rigid bronchoscopic removal was tried but failed. Ultimately thoracotomy was done to remove the foreign body.

AbstractAn elderly patient was evaluated for fever and cough of three weeks duration. Chest X-ray revealed a thin walled cavity in the right parahilar region. Sputum Acid Fast Bacilli was negative and sputum culture has grown multidrug resistant Burkholderia Cepacia sensitive to carbapenams only. This is a rare case report of community acquired B. Cepacia infection in an individual wherein the clinical presentation was mimicking smear negative pulmonary tuberculosis, but the patient has shown a complete clinical and radiological response to imipenam.

The differentiation between tension bullae, chronic tension pneumothorax, and atypical pneumothorax is difficult just from history and physical examination alone. A chest X-ray may help determine the underlying etiology; however, further imaging with computed tomography in stable patients may be necessary for accurate assessment of size, number, and location before considering any interventions. In this article, we present a rare case report of tension bullae with peripheral pneumothorax and recommend against needle thoracostomy in stable patients with tension bullae in order to obtain further imaging that may result in a change in the standard management.

A 42-year-old female presented in Neurology Department of Sir Salimullah Medical College with gradually worsening difficulty in talking and eating for the last four months. Examination revealed dystonic tongue, macerated lips due to continuous drooling of saliva and aspirated lungs. She had no history of taking antiparkinsonian, neuroleptics or any other drugs causing dystonia. Chest X-ray revealed aspiration pneumonia corrected later by antibiotics. She was treated with botulinum toxin type-A. Twenty units of toxin was injected in six sites of the tongue. The dystonic tongue became normal by 24 hours. Subsequent 16 weeks follow up showed very good result and the patient now can talk and eat normally. (J Bangladesh Coll Phys Surg 2006; 24: 75-78)

Abstract Background There is no consensus on the imaging modality to be used in the diagnosis and management of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia. The purpose of this study was to make a comparison between computed tomography (CT) and chest X-ray (CXR) through a scoring system that can be beneficial to the clinicians in making the triage of patients diagnosed with COVID-19 pneumonia at their initial presentation to the hospital. Results Patients with a negative CXR (30.1%) had significantly lower computed tomography score (CTS) (p < 0.001). Among the lung zones where the only infiltration pattern was ground glass opacity (GGO) on CT images, the ratio of abnormality seen on CXRs was 21.6%. The cut-off value of X-ray score (XRS) to distinguish the patients who needed intensive care at follow-up (n = 12) was 6 (AUC = 0.933, 95% CI = 0.886–0.979, 100% sensitivity, 81% specificity). Conclusions Computed tomography is more effective in the diagnosis of COVID-19 pneumonia at the initial presentation due to the ease detection of GGOs. However, a baseline CXR taken after admission to the hospital can be valuable in predicting patients to be monitored in the intensive care units.

Rare Case Report

Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTMs) are ubiquitous and are being increasingly reported as human opportunistic infection. Cutaneous infection caused by mixed NTM is extremely rare. We encountered the case of a 46-year-old female, who presented with multiple discharging sinuses over the lower anterior abdominal wall (over a previous appendectomy scar) for the past 2 years. Microscopy and culture of the pus discharge were done to isolate and identify the etiological agent. Finally, GenoType Mycobacterium CM/AS assay proved it to be a mixed infection caused byMycobacterium szulgaiandM. intermedium. The patient was advised a combination of rifampicin 600 mg once daily, ethambutol 600 mg once daily, and clarithromycin 500 mg twice daily to be taken along with periodic follow-up based upon clinical response as well as microbiological response. We emphasize that infections by NTM must be considered in the etiology of nonhealing wounds or sinuses, especially at postsurgical sites.

Childhood Fever

Many people believe that temperature response to antipyretics in febrile children varies according to diagnosis. To evaluate the validity of this premise, we prospectively studied the temperature response to acetaminophen of febrile children who came to an urban pediatric emergency and walk-in facility. The study group consisted of 1,559 patients between the ages of 8 weeks and 6 years whose temperatures when seen were greater than 38.4°C and who had not received antipyretic treatment within the previous four hours. Acetaminophen (15 mg/kg) was administered to each child and repeat temperatures were taken one and two hours later. Patient management was unaffected by the study, and physicians were unaware of the repeat temperature measurements. Telephone follow-up was conducted with the parents of each child within five days of the initial visit. Children with cultures positive for bacterial disease or chest x-ray films positive for pneumonia had slightly greater one- and two-hour temperature decreases compared with children with other diagnoses. Although statistically significant, we do not consider these differences in response to be clinically useful. We conclude that fever response to acetaminophen is not a clinically useful indicator by which to differentiate the causes of febrile illnesses in young children.
