We report a case of a 55-year-old male patient who presented with swelling over his right elbow of 5-year duration. An ultrasound examination revealed an echogenic mass within the olecranon bursa. On magnetic resonance imaging, the mass revealed the signal intensity of fat, and it was attached to the bursal lining by means of a pedicle. There was no restriction on diffusion-weighted images and no significant contrast enhancement. Excision was performed under local anesthesia. The excised specimen revealed mature fat cells on histopathology.

Abstract Background To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of high-resolution ultrasound in the assessment of abdominal wall masses and mass-like lesions and to provide an overview of the sonographic appearances of different abdominal wall pathologies, 54 patients were included in a prospective study. The patients’ age was ranging from 1 to 75 years. Twenty-eight were females (51.9%) and 26 were males (48.1%); all were evaluated by a high-resolution ultrasound examination, and the results were correlated to the patients’ operative findings and histopathological results as well as the pelviabdominal CT findings. Results In comparison to the operative, histopathological, and CT findings, the high-resolution ultrasound had an overall 100% accuracy for abdominal wall lesions, and for hernia cases, it had 100% sensitivity, 100% specificity, 100% accuracy, 100% positive predictive value, and 100% negative predictive value. Conclusion The current study had encouraging results regarding the role of high-resolution ultrasound in the assessment of abdominal wall masses and mass-like lesions; nevertheless, it is considered as an effective and simple diagnostic tool that may limit the patients’ exposure to invasive biopsies and to the hazardous exposure to ionizing radiation and contrast media administration like that in CT examination.

Introduction: Viral bronchiolitis is a common cause of lower respiratory tract infection in the first year of life, considered a health burden because of its morbidity and costs. Its diagnosis is based on history and physical examination and the role of radiographic examination is limited to atypical cases. Thus far, Lung Ultrasound (LUS) is not considered in the diagnostic algorithm for bronchiolitis. Methods: PubMed database was searched for trials reporting on lung ultrasound examination and involving infants with a diagnosis of bronchiolitis. Results: Eight studies were suitable. Conclusions: This review analyzed the current evidence about the potential usefulness of LUS in the clinical management of bronchiolitis. Literature supports a peculiar role of LUS in the evaluation of the affected children, considering it as a reliable imaging test that could benefit the clinical management of bronchiolitis.

Objective: In this study, we aimed to emphasize the role of radiological imaging in determining the treatment of a patient, who tested positive for COVID-19 and diagnosed with acute appendicitis during the pandemic. Methods: A 31-year-old patient presented to the emergency department due to abdominal pain. Ultrasound examination, thoracic and pelvic CT scan were performed. Results: Non-complicated appendicitis can be treated conservatively with antibiotics. Treatment can be maintained by starting with IV antibiotics and bridging therapy with oral antibiotics. Conclusion: This study aims to summarize how radiological follow-up can be used to decide on the suitability of the patient for appropriate medical treatment as an alternative to surgery in a patient, whose gold standard treatment is emergency surgical intervention, which is frequently encountered in the emergency department during the COVID-19 pandemic.
