Cytological analysis of the pleural cavity becomes extremely important for the diagnosis of tumors that have no visible or palpable mass. The aim of this study is to report a case of hemophagocytic histiocytic sarcoma in a cat, a rare neoplasm, emphasizing the importance of laboratory tests, especially the analysis of effusions. This report discloses the usefulness of cytology in effusions directing the clinical veterinarian for the correct diagnosis and subsequent treatment.

: Histiocytic sarcoma (HS) is a very rare neoplasm of hematopoietic origin characterized by the proliferation of malignant cells that have the morphological and immunohistochemical features of mature tissue histiocytes, with only a few cases reported. Most patients with symptoms of the unilateral or multichannel disease are more involved with the intestines, skin, and soft tissues, palpable mass lesions, and compressions of adjacent organs, such as intestinal obstruction, or constitutional symptoms (e.g., fever and weight loss). In this study, we reported a 56-year-old man with a six-month history of a cutaneous plaque lesion on the left arm’s posterior surface. He underwent skin lesion biopsy, histopathologic examination, and immunohistochemistry that was compatible with histiocytic sarcoma. Since surgical resection not deemed appropriate, our patient underwent aggressive multiagent chemotherapy with six cycles of ICE (ifosfamide, mesna, carboplatin, and etoposide) regimen and radiotherapy. After the completion of chemoradiotherapy, the skin lesion was completely disappeared. The patient is currently coming to us for the follow-up without any recurrence of the disease.

ABSTRACT A 37-year-old male presented to the emergency department with the complaint of periumbilical abdominal pain, radiating to just above pubic symphysis. The patient reported that the pain was worse with urination and associated with chills and nausea. This case reports discusses the Emergency Department (ED) course and subsequent treatment of a patient found to have an infected urachal cyst, a previously asymptomatic embryological anomaly in an otherwise healthy middle-aged adult male. This is a crucial diagnosis to make in order to avoid the potential for significant morbidity and/or mortality, given the unlikely symptomatic source.

Variants of pathological changes related to the group of white lesions: multiform erythema, flat lichen, candidiasis glossitis at the stage of formation of white foci. In this paper we consider the differential diagnosis of multiform erythema, planar lichen, candidiasis glossitis in the presence of signs of white plaque. Clarification of the diagnosis is based on a thorough examination and additional (including laboratory) research methods. Analysis of the results of observation of clinical cases of oral mucosa diseases to differentiate existing foci for correct diagnosis and subsequent treatment.The analysis of clinical cases of diseases of the oral mucous membrane indicates the similarity of their elements of destruction and manifestations of other symptoms, which greatly complicates the diagnostic search. A thorough survey, inspection, consultations of general specialists and additional laboratory tests allow to successfully solve the tasks

Abstract Background We present a clinical case of a patient with acute perforated appendicitis complicated by empyema in a false left-sided diaphragmatic hernia. Methods Patient K. 21 L. taken by ambulance to the intensive care unit. X-ray conclusion—the rupture of the left dome of the diaphragm to the infringement of the colon. The patient urgently operated. The defect of the diaphragm size 10,0х6,5cm. There is a lack in the abdominal cavity of small and large intestine, and spleen. The diagnosis—gangrenous perforated appendicitis in the left pleural cavity, empyema. Performed appendectomy, diaphragm was sutured. 5 days after surgery performed videothoracoscopy Results The patient is in satisfactory condition was discharged from hospital 32 days after admission. Conclusion Polypositional x-ray examination of the chest and abdominal cavity and active surgical tactics has allowed to establish the correct diagnosis and resulted in a favorable outcome.

Obturator hernia is the protrusion of intraperitoneal or extraperitoneal organs or tissues through the obturator canal. The first case was published by de Ronsil in 1724. Obturator hernia is more common in older malnourished women due to loss of supporting connective tissue and the wider female pelvis. The hernia sac usually contains small bowel, especially ileum. It may follow the anterior or posterior division of the obturator nerve. In most cases, obturator hernia presents with intestinal obstruction of unknown cause. It may present with obturator neuralgia, as a palpable mass or, in cases of bowel necrosis, as ecchymosis of the thigh. A correct diagnosis is made in 20 to 30 per cent of cases. CT scan is considered the gold standard for diagnosis, whereas ultrasonography, contrast studies, herniography and plain films are less specific. Surgery is the only treatment option for obturator hernia. Hesitancy to intervene surgically for chronically ill patients results in high mortality. Transabdominal approach is indicated in cases of complete bowel obstruction or suspected peritonitis. The extra-abdominal approach is used in preoperatively diagnosed cases and in absence of bowel strangulation. The laparoscopic approach is minimally invasive and effectively reduces morbidity. The defect is closed using sutures, tissue flaps, or prosthetic mesh.

AbstractTumors of the jaws represent a heterogeneous group of lesions that are classified histologically in the World Health Organization Classification of Odontogenic Tumors (2017). This article provides an update of the current nomenclature. The main role of imaging is to describe the precise location and extent of these lesions. Although characterization of imaging is often difficult due to overlapping characteristics, imaging is helpful to define which lesions should be referred for histologic examination and subsequent treatment planning. Location and density are the cardinal criteria for potential characterization on imaging. Radiologically, lesions may be radiolucent, radiopaque, or of mixed density. Additional criteria include lesion demarcation, morphology, cortical breakthrough, periosteal reaction, and adjacent soft tissue changes. Final lesion characterization is only definitive after interdisciplinary discussion and radiopathologic correlation. Correct diagnosis is obtained by a combination of the patient's age, lesion location, and clinical and radiologic presentation. It is important that all physicians use a uniform nomenclature.

Background: Soft tissue calcification is common in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism who have received long-term treatment with hemodialysis. However, calcifications in the breast parenchyma are not common. We report a case of a woman with dystrophic breast calcifications from secondary hyperparathyroidism. Case Report: A 65-year-old woman presented with a palpable mass in her right breast which she had discovered 1 month ago. She had a medical history of end-stage renal disease. Mammography and ultrasound revealed large dystrophic calcifications in both breasts. Core needle biopsy was performed for calcifications in the right breast, and the pathologic diagnosis was dystrophic calcification in the stroma from secondary hyperparathyroidism. Conclusion: Reviewing our case will contribute to a fast and correct diagnosis in patients with dystrophic breast calcifications and lab results indicating secondary hyperparathyroidism, and will help discriminate these benign lesions from malignancies.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. Patients usually present with a rapidly progressed painless mass in the breast. The first pathological entity to be considered is breast cancer in case of newly developed painless mass, so that radiological and pathological evaluations must be performed. However, some systemic disorders; benign conditions like rheumatological diseases, and also systemic malignancies such as lymphoma, can mimic breast cancer by involving the breast. It is necessary to distinguish between such diseases through a correct diagnosis, because they have very different treatments and prognoses. We present a case diagnosed as bilateral primary breast lymphoma with a palpable mass in a single breast, its clinical and radiological characteristics. This case report suggests that systemic diseases should be considered in the differential diagnosis of breast diseases and breast masses, especially when there is bilaterally involvement, as discussed in this article.
