Giant Cell Tumor Case Study

A mechanically-guided trephination is standard although newer non-mechanical laser techniques are more accurate and are preferred by some surgeons when available (Gaster et al., 2012).

A RARE CASE: AN ADVANCED STAGE HEPATOCELLULAR CARCİNOMA PATİENT PRESENTED WİTH MULTİPLE SPLENİC METASTASES SUMMARY: Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most common primary liver tumor and it is one of the most common cause of deaths in patients with cirhosis. İt’s histopathologic diagnosis is difficult because biopsy usually couldn’t perform due to risc of bleeding. Clinicians especially diagnose it with radiologic and clinical parameters of patient. Splenic metastases are rarely conditions.

Primary mesenteric carcinoid tumors are extremely rare {Karahan 2006}. Park et al. reported a case of a solitary 8 cm mesenteric carcinoid tumor in a 73 year-old woman after a meticulous search for tumors at other sites {Park 2013}. Yamanuha reported mesenteric tumor in a 52 year old with a partially calcified lobulated mass in the mesentery with smaller nodes in adjacent mesentery also without tumor activity elsewhere after imaging, colonoscopy and direct visualization at surgery {Yamanuha 2009}. Karahan et al.

Abstract — Brain magnetic resonance (MR) segmentation algorithms are critical to analyze tissues and diagnose edema and tumor in a quantitative way. The primary aim of brain image segmentation is to partition a given brain image into different regions representing anatomical structures. In this paper, we present a new effective segmentation algorithm that segments brain MR images into tumor, edema, white matter (WM), gray matter (GM), and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The detection of the healthy tissues and the diseased tissues are performed for examining the change caused by the spread of tumor and edema on healthy tissues is very important for treatment planning. We developed an algorithm for skull stripping before the segmentation process.

Hispathology The pathological characteristic or features of Angiocentric Glioma are quite similar to other types of brain tumors such as astrocytomas and ependymomas. Yet, their occurrences are rare in cases and this make accurate diagnosis difficult. In general, Angiocentric Glioma is demonstrating an angiocentric pattern and it composed of diffusely infiltrating, monomorphic, bipolar spindle cells which is arranged in around blood vessels in concentric sleeves and pseudorosettes. Plus, the immunohistochemical staining result for this tumor is typically positive mostly for glial fibrillary acidic protein.

The surgery is associated with many avoidable complications and hence requires a serious and cautious approach .The frequency of bile duct injury remains fairly constant .The seriousness of this complication relates in part of problems of biliary fistula and uncontrolled sepsis and in part to the technical difficulties of successful repair of bile duct injuries. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has now replaced open cholecystectomy as the first-choice of treatment for gallstones unless there are contraindications to the laparoscopic approach. Sometimes a laparoscopic cholecystectomy may be converted to an open cholecystectomy for technical reasons or safety.

For example, some types of bone cancer include osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, and ewing sarcoma. Some variants of chondrosarcoma include clear cell chondrosarcomas and mesenchymal chondrosarcomas. Finally, the treatment options for bone cancer are surgery, chemotherapy and radiation

They also produce the female hormones estrogen and progesterone. Cancer starts when abnormal cells in the ovary begin to multiply out of control and form a tumor. The tumor can then spread to other parts of the body. The 2 tests used most often to screen for ovarian cancer are transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) and the CA-125 blood test. TVUS is a test that uses sound waves to look at the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries by putting an ultrasound wand into the vagina.

Evaluation and Management Append the Correct E/M Code(s) (Multiple Choice) 1. An established patient is seen by the provider for a fever, cough, and wheezing. A comprehensive history, and detailed physical exam is performed; 500mg of amoxicillin and 10mgs of prednisone is prescribed. Based upon the medical decision making, what is the correct E/M code?

Introduction: Diabetes Insipidus (DI) is a common complication following pituitary surgery. It has been traditionally reported in the range of 5 to 15% after transsphenoidal resection of pituitary adenomas. Here we report our experience with Diabetes Insipidus following Endoscopic resection of pituitary adenomas. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the Stanford University Pituitary Adenoma database.

Pathologies wherein tendons pull a portion of Cortical bone away from the bone surface, such as Osgood-Schlatter disease and avulsion fractures, are often well depicted with ultrasound. Stress fractures too small to be seen on radiographs can often be directly seen with ultrasound. Ultrasound is also a valuable tool for diagnosing and monitoring rheumatic diseases. The orthopedic pathologies which can be diagnosed with ultrasound are numerous. Ultrasound has a wide variety of uses in orthopedics that extend beyond routine diagnosis of bone irregularities.
