Abstract Background The presence of unilateral right-sided varicocele hints at a serious retroperitoneal disease such as renal cell neoplasm. Such tumors are usually associated with a thrombus in renal vein or spermatic vein. We report a rare presentation of right-sided renal tumor causing right-sided varicocele in the absence of thrombus in renal vein and spermatic vein but due to an anomalous vein draining from the tumor into the spermatic vein as demonstrated by computed tomography angiogram. Case presentation A 54-yr-old hypertensive male presented with unilateral grade 3 right-sided varicocele and no other signs and symptoms. Ultrasound examination of his abdomen showed the presence of a mass lesion in the lower pole of right kidney. Computed tomography confirmed the presence of right renal mass, absence of thrombus in right renal vein or inferior vena cava. The angiographic phase of CT scan showed an anomalous vein from the tumor draining into the pampiniform plexus causing varicocele. Conclusion The presence of right-sided varicocele should raise a suspicion hidden serious pathological retroperitoneal condition, renal malignancy in particular, and should prompt the treating physician to carry out imaging studies of the retroperitoneum and careful study of the angiographic phase of the CT scan can ascertain the pathogenesis of the varicocele.

Dens Invaginatus

Dens invaginatus is a developmental variation in the formation of a tooth that causes changes in the internal anatomy of the tooth. The presence of double dens invaginatus is extremely rare. Understanding the type, extension, and complex morphology of dens invaginatus is essential. Diagnosis of this condition using conventional radiographic techniques is not easy. Advanced imaging techniques, such as cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) are very helpful in diagnosis of these complex anatomic variations. In the present case report, we demonstrate the use of CBCT in the evaluation and treatment planning of bilateral maxillary dens invaginatus, of which one presented as a case of double dens.

Central sulcus hemorrhage is a rare imaging finding that can be related to cerebral amyloidosis in a normotensive non-traumatic elderly patient and present as an isolated finding or in association with other areas of involvement. We report a case presenting with an isolated central sulcus hemorrhage on computed tomography. Further imaging work-up excluded other potential causes of peripheral hemorrhages and established a putative diagnosis of cerebral amyloidosis.

Abstract Background Extramedullary plasmacytoma is a rare monoclonal plasma cell neoplasm that originates from tissues other than the bone marrow and constitutes only 3%–5% of all plasma cell neoplasms. Most cases involve the upper respiratory tract. Extramedullary plasmacytoma involving the lung is extremely rare. Primary pulmonary plasmacytoma is a rare type of extramedullary plasmacytoma, usually presenting with a nodule or mass in hilar region. Literature search has shown very few cases of immunohistochemically confirmed cases of pulmonary plasmacytoma. Diffuse pulmonary infiltration is an unusual presentation. Case presentation We report the case of a 56 year old lady with history of cough and breathlessness since one month. Computed Tomography revealed diffusely scattered multiple cavitating nodules and consolidation in both lungs. Computed Tomography guided biopsy of one of the lung nodules was done. Histopathologic examination and immunohistochemistry showed features of pulmonary plasmacytoma .This is an unique case of primary pulmonary plasmacytoma with the rare presentation as diffusely scattered multiple cavitating nodules and consolidation. According to our literature search, primary pulmonary plasmacytoma manifesting as cavitating nodules is being reported for the first time. Conclusions Primary pulmonary plasmacytoma should be also be considered in the differential diagnosis of multiple diffusely scattered cavitating lung nodules.

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease which can occur in the lungs and extra lung. One kind of extra lung TB is Cerebellum tuberculoma, which is one of rare manifestations form of TB, difficult to diagnosed, because sign and symptom is not specific.Case: A 17-year-old female presented a TB symptoms. She also had contact with her neighbor that was diagnosed with TB. In physical examination there was reduced motor function on her right extremities. Chest radiology revealed opacities in 2/3 superior in the left lung before treatment. Computed Tomography (CT) head scan with contrast showed ring contrast enhancement in left subcortical hemisphere cerebellum with size as 1.8 x 1.8 x 1.7 cm. Multiple lymphadenopathy in right-left upper-aid jugular and lymph node subcentimeter in right of submandibular, right-left lower jugular with varieties of size, the biggest is 1.6 x 1.5 cm. After 6 months treatment the tuberculoma of cerebellum was gone.  Conclusion:Cerebellum tuberculoma is a rare presentation of active TB. Radiological imaging plays an important role in the diagnosis and monitoring of the disease. The appereance of tuberculoma on our patient CT showed nodular-enhancing lesion. Intracranial tuberculoma should be treated conservatively, since the majority of these lesions resolve completely with Anti-Tuberculosis Drugs (ATD). Our patient started ATD and the lesions completely disappeared within 6 months. We wanted to present our case due to well-responded to ATD and being an example of atypical presentation of tuberculosis both clinically and radiologically.

Abstract Background Angiomyolipoma (AML) is a common, chronic disease usually localized in kidney and liver organs; but occurring frequently outside the kidney or liver. Case presentation We describe an unusual case of a 62-year-old female patient with AML in the middle ear. She presented with left earache, tinnitus and hearing loss. Preoperative computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging seemed to reveal a middle ear cholesteatoma. The patient underwent surgical resection of this lesion, and the AML was finally confirmed by histopathological examination. The patient was discharged on the 8th postoperative day and did not seek further treatment. Conclusions Extraperitoneal AML is rare and accurately identified by histopathology. The recommended management is surgery for AML in the middle ear.

A 35-year-old male underwent emergency pericardiectomy for repeated tamponade. A computed tomography scan of the thorax showed a consolidated lung lesion with pleural effusion. Emergency aspiration removed hemorrhagic pericardial fluid and straw colored pleural effusion. Both fluids tested negative for malignant cells. He later underwent a pneumonectomy after a biopsy revealed carcinoma of the lung. The case is reported to illustrate this rare presentation of bronchoalveolar carcinoma.

A 64-year-old man presented with an eight-month history of increasing postprandial epigastric pain and a 15 kg weight loss. Computed tomography of the abdomen, panendoscopy and mesenteric angiography failed to explain the cause of the patient's mesenteric angina. Systemic amyloidosis involving intestinal small vasculature without larger arterial involvement was diagnosed at autopsy after the patient died of an asystolic cardiac arrest. Mesenteric angina without evidence of ischemic enteritis or pseudo-obstruction is a rare manifestation of amyloidosis.
