Iliopsoas hematoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of femoral neuropathy in patients who are on chronic warfarin therapy. It usually presents with groin or thigh pain, and in rare instances, large bleeding may cause hypovolaemic shock. Conservative management has a good clinical and neurological outcome in such cases.

Background: Pyogenic granuloma (PG) with satellitosis is a rare phenomenon that typically occurs in children and teenagers. It can be seen after excision or trauma to the original lesion. Objective: The aim is to review an atypical case of PG with satellitosis and to highlight a conservative approach to management. Methods: This article includes a case report of a 48-year-old woman developing PG with satellitosis in her right foot and includes a review of the literature. Results: There are few cases of PG with satellitosis in the literature. Our patient differs from most given her age and the location of the lesions. She was managed differently with a conservative observational approach, and, over time, her symptoms abated. Conclusion: PG with satellitosis can occur in varying patient populations with varying presentations. Although several treatment options exist, managing patients conservatively should be considered an approach to management. Early investigations should be conducted to rule out more sinister items in the differential diagnosis.

In the most recent publications on Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome, the uterine remnants and ovaries in patients may develop uterine remnant leiomyoma, adenomyosis, or ovarian tumor, and this can lead to problems in differential diagnosis. Here we summarize the diagnosis methods and available interventions for ovarian tumor in MRKH syndrome, with emphasis on the relevant clinical findings and illustrative relevant case. According to the clinical findings and illustrative relevant case, with the help of imaging techniques, ovarian tumors can be detected in the pelvis in patients with MRKH syndrome and evaluated in terms of size. Laparoscopy could further differentiate ovarian tumors into different pathological types. In addition, laparoscopic surgery not only is helpful for the diagnosis of MRKH combined ovarian tumor, but also has a good treatment role for excising ovarian tumor at the same time. Moreover, laparoscopic removals of ovarian tumor can be considered as a safe and reliable treatment for conservative management.

AbstractObjectiveThis paper reports a rare case of a 61-year-old man with sialodochitis fibrinosa.MethodsClinical case report and review of current literature.ResultsSialodochitis fibrinosa is a diagnosis of exclusion and in many cases can be managed conservatively. Conservative management failed for this patient and he was managed successfully with staged bilateral total parotidectomy.ConclusionSialodochitis fibrinosa should be considered as a differential diagnosis of painful bilateral facial swelling. While conservative management is successful for many patients, staged bilateral total parotidectomy may be necessary for full remission of symptoms; the timing of this is crucial to reduce the risk of facial nerve palsy.

Multiple Nodules

Tuberculosis (TB) may present as multiple pulmonary nodules mimicking lung metastases. Many asymptomatic cases of TB are detected incidentally on chest radiography, and patients are often negative for acid-fast bacilli staining and culture in spite of having active TB. It is important to know the imaging findings characteristic of pulmonary TB and its variant forms. Multiple pulmonary nodules were detected in an 80-year-old female during a medical checkup. TB was not suspected until her imaging findings worsened; however, in retrospect, centrilobular micronodules were observed amongst multiple well-circumscribed nodules on the initial images and worsened during conservative management. Although bilateral multiple well-circumscribed pulmonary nodules are suggestive of metastases, when a nodule surrounded by centrilobular or satellite micronodules is found, even in the absence of characteristic findings such as cavitation or the tree-in-bud sign, pulmonary TB should be considered in the differential diagnosis to prevent delays in treatment.

Specific Symptoms

Eye pain and ringing in the ear are non-specific symptoms commonly evaluated by primary care physicians and specialists alike. The differential diagnosis for these symptoms is broad and includes musculoskeletal, ophthalmologic and neurologic considerations. Careful consideration of the differential diagnosis should include acute, potentially life-threatening pathologies such as glaucoma or intracranial masses, as well as common pathologies, including cervicalgia, headache variants (migraine, tension) and acoustic neuroma. This report describes a patient with eye pain caused by occipital neuralgia and tinnitus. Correcting the somatic dysfunctions found in the head, cervical, thoracic and rib regions with osteopathic manipulative treatment resolved the occipital neuralgia and the tinnitus for this patient. Thus, osteopathic manipulative treatment should be considered for conservative management of occipital neuralgia and tinnitus.

Microscopic Diagnosis

The broadest application of transmission electron microscopy (EM) in diagnostic medicine is the identification of tumors that cannot be classified by routine light microscopy. EM is useful in the evaluation of approximately 10% of human neoplasms, but the extent of its contribution varies considerably. It may provide a specific diagnosis that can not be reached by other means, but in contrast, the information obtained from ultrastructural study of some 10% of tumors does not significantly add to that available from light microscopy. Most cases fall somewhere between these two extremes: EM may correct a light microscopic diagnosis, or serve to narrow a differential diagnosis by excluding some of the possibilities considered by light microscopy. It is particularly important to correlate the EM findings with data from light microscopy, clinical examination, and other diagnostic procedures.
