Tuberculosis of the wrist joints is an uncommon clinical entity that most frequently presents with insidious pain and swelling. Isolated carpal bones involvement due to tuberculosis is a relatively uncommon event. In this report, the authors describe the case of a 36-year-old female patient presenting with fracture of the scaphoid bone. The diagnosis of tuberculosis was suspected based on the ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging findings of the wrist joint, and confirmed by joint fluid culture. Introducing anti-tuberculous drugs under appropriate supervision resulted in clinical improvement and optimal regain of function. No reactivation of the disease was noted after 2 years of follow‑up. This case report describes a rare presentation of wrist joint tuberculosis.

AbstractThe Kernohan-Woltman notch phenomenon is a paradoxical neurological manifestation consisting of a motor deficit ipsilateral to a primary brain injury. It has been observed in patients with brain tumors and with supratentorial hematomas. It is considered a false localizing neurological sign. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan has been the test of choice. The recognition of this phenomenon is important to prevent a surgical procedure on the opposite side of the lesion. The present case report describes a case of chronic subdural hematoma with a probable finding of the Kernohan-Woltman phenomenon, and it discusses its pathophysiology, imaging findings, treatment, and prognosis.

Final Histology

Introduction: Testicular benign tumors are very rare (< 5%). Testicular Angiofibroma (AF) is one of those, however the gold standard of treatment and follow-up is still unclear. Case report: A 47 years-old man with only one functioning testis was referred to our clinic for a palpable right testicular mass and atrophic contralateral testis. Patient underwent testis-sparing surgery with inguinal approach and intraoperative frozen sections examination with diagnosis of AF. Final histology confirmed AF. Post-operative follow-up was uneventful. Clinical and ultrasonographic follow-up was negative after 8 months. Conclusion: We report a conservative surgery in a patient with AF of the solitary testis. AF is a benign para-testicular fibrous neoplasm that could be misinterpreted as malignant tumor and treated with orchiectomy. Testis-sparing surgery is recommended in this case with intraoperative pathological examination. The excision of the mass is enough but in front of a possible recurrence a long follow-up is advisable.

Demographic Features

AbstractCardiac osteosarcoma metastasis is extremely rare and is documented in several case reports in the literature. The behaviour of osteosarcoma metastases is similar to the primary tumour. Thoracic non-enhanced computed tomography (CT) examination is beneficial in the detection of calcific cardiac metastases. In this case report, we describe a 29-year-old woman with cardiac osteosarcoma metastasis after 7 years of follow-up, compare the demographic features with previous cases and discuss the imaging findings.

Surgical Journal

We describe a case of an anteromedial fracture-dislocation of the radial head in an adult patient, which was initially irreducible using closed means, and remained challenging to reduce despite open surgery. Further advanced CT/MRI revealed entrapment of the radial head due to the interposition of the brachialis tendon posteriorly, thereby preventing sustained reduction. While three other cases of irreducible anteromedial radial head dislocation due to the brachialis tendon have been reported in the English surgical literature, none of the imaging findings have been described in the radiological literature. Only one other case published in a surgical journal briefly demonstrated pre-operative MRI imaging. We would like to share the value of pre-operative MRI in this rare presentation, which would be helpful in diagnosing not only cases with interposition of the brachialis tendon, but potentially other types of soft tissue interposition which also limit closed reduction. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this would be the first report on the imaging findings in a radiological journal. Awareness of this phenomenon would assist radiologists in the diagnosis and management of this rare condition.

Adnexal Pathology

Pelvic pain presents a common diagnostic conundrum with a myriad of causes ranging from benign and trivial to malignant and emergent. We present a case where a mucinous neoplasm of the appendix acted as a mimic for tubular adnexal pathology on imaging. With the associated imaging findings on ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging, we wish to raise awareness of mucinous tumors of the appendix when tubular right adnexal pathology is present both in the presence of pelvic or abdominal pain or when noted incidentally. Tubular pathology such as uncomplicated paraovarian cysts or hydrosalpinx is frequently treated conservatively with long-interval follow-up imaging or left to clinical follow-up. Thus, if incorrectly diagnosed as tubular pathology, an appendix mucocele or mucinous neoplasm of the appendix is likely to be undertreated. We wish to clarify some of the confusion around nomenclature and classification of the multiple entities that are comprised by the terms mucocele and mucinous tumor of the appendix.
