Ultrasonography guided core biopsy has become the standard of care in the assessment of breast cancer. Although the procedure is associated with low rates of complications, we present a case report of a rare complication of the procedure that has been reported only once previously in the medical literature.

Acquired renal arteriovenous fistula is a rare complication following a nephrectomy and its diagnosis may be made many years after the intervention. The closure of the fistula is advisable in most cases, since it represents a risk for heart failure and rupture of the vessel. There are an increasing number of publications describing different techniques of occlusion. The case of a 70-year-old woman with abdominal discomfort due to a large renal arteriovenous fistula, 45 years after nephrectomy, is presented and current literature is reviewed. Percutaneous embolization was performed by placing an occluding balloon through the draining vein followed by the release of nine coils through arterial access. One day after successful occlusion of the fistula, clinical symptoms disappeared.

Intracerebral hemorrhage is a devastating form of stroke and is more common in patients with hypertension and renal disease. We present the case of a lady suffering from chronic kidney disease who presented with severe headache and aphasia. On evaluation, she was found to have an intraparenchymal hemorrhage in the left temporal lobe with prominent pial and dural veins suggestive of a dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF). Subsequently, she was detected to have occlusion of the left brachiocephalic vein (LBCV), which resulted in venous hypertension and resulted in this rare complication. Angioplasty followed by stenting of the LBCV resulted in subsidence of her symptoms. We wish to highlight this unusual but treatable complication of limb AV fistula which can mimic intracranial DAVF.

We present a rare case of perineal recurrence of prostate cancer post low dose rate brachytherapy. Increased levels of prostate-specific antigen were recorded 12 years post brachytherapy. Pelvic CT and MRI visualized a nodular lesion in the perineum, and positron emission tomography demonstrated choline-avidity. Ultrasound-guided biopsy of the nodule was performed, yielding histology consistent with prostatic adenocarcinoma. Metastatic prostatic seeding to the perineum is a rare complication of brachytherapy. We discuss the putative mechanism, approach to diagnosis, and management.
