Case report: a 3-year follow-up on nodal marginal zone lymphoma coexisting with disseminated Talaromyces marneffei infection in a non-endemic area.

This case report presents the details of an elderly man in Zhejiang Province of China, who tested human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) negative and subsequently developed Nodal Marginal Zone Lymphoma (NMZL) along with disseminated infection. The study focuses on analyzing the distinct clinical symptoms and pathological manifestations in order to offer precise diagnosis and effective treatment for patients. A 76-year-old male patient was admitted to our hospital due to recurrent fever.

Preoperative diagnosis of primary ovarian lymphoma: a case report and a decade of insights.

Through a comprehensive retrospective analysis of a 52-year-old woman with primary ovarian lymphoma (POL) and a review of similar cases over the past decade in the PubMed database, we gained several key insights into improving the understanding of POL among clinicians and radiologists for accurate diagnosis. POL is more prevalent among women in their 40s and usually presents with clinical manifestations of a solid mass (typically over 10 cm) and abdominal pain with B symptoms. Four imaging features show promise as indicators of potential diagnostic value in POL: the ovarian retention sign, touching ovaries, vascular floatation, and the sandwich sign.

Imaging manifestations of cervical aggressive fibromatosis: a case report and literature review.

Cervical aggressive fibromatosis is a rare intermediate tumor characterized by invasive growth. Aggressive fibromatosis (AF), also referred to as desmoid-type fibrosarcoma or grade I fibrosarcoma, is a clonal proliferative lesion of fibroblasts located in deep soft tissues. While many cases have been reported, there are relatively few involving aggressive fibromatosis in the anterior inferior margin muscle space of the neck trapezius muscle.

Cranial Rosai-Dorfman disease: a case report and literature review.

Rosai-Dorfman Disease (RDD) is a rare, benign, idiopathic histiocytic proliferative disorder, with its occurrence in the cranial bones being particularly uncommon and prone to misdiagnosis in preoperative radiological examinations. This article reports a case of RDD in the left temporal bone. The radiological presentation of intraosseous RDD includes osteolytic bone destruction, infrequent periosteal reaction, clearly defined tumor margins, and marked uniform enhancement on contrast-enhanced scans.

The imaging dynamic changes in the malignant transformation of an epidermoid cyst: a case report and literature review.

Malignant transformation of epidermoid cysts is a rare complication. Most of the previously reported cases have involved postoperative malignant transformations. We present a case of malignant transformation of a nonpostoperative epidermoid tumor into squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) that occurred in a 61-year-old Chinese woman.

Frontotemporal giant extradural dermoid cyst: illustrative case.

Background: Dermoid cyst is a rare benign tumor exhibiting a typical radiological pattern and most commonly located along the midline. Laboratory examination was always normal. However, the features of some rare cases are atypical that can be easily misdiagnosed as other tumors.

Exploring the degree of nicotine dependence and willingness to quit smoking in Chinese smoking patients with stroke: A cross-sectional survey.

Smoking is closely related to the occurrence of stroke. The degree of nicotine dependence and willingness to quit smoking are key factors that determine whether a smoker can successfully quit smoking. Few studies have been conducted on factors affecting the willingness to quit smoking among smokers who suffered from stroke.

The Risk Assessment and Clinical Research of Bile Duct Injury After Transcatheter Arterial Chemoembolization for Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Purpose: To retrospectively evaluate the risk factors and the clinical outcomes of bile duct injury after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and to evaluate factors that aid clinical detection and subsequent treatment of the injured bile duct.

Materials And Methods: All patients undergoing TACE for HCC were retrospectively reviewed for identification of bile duct injury. The clinical spectrum of all the patients analyzed including patients' demographics, laboratory data, radiologic imaging and mode of treatment.

[Diagnostic value of CT pulmonary artery imaging for idiopathic pulmonary artery hypertension].

Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic value of CT pulmonary artery (CTPA) imaging with idiopathic pulmonary artery hypertension (IPAH).

Methods: A total of 20 patients with right heart catheterization (RHC) proven IPAH were retrospectively analyzed between January 2012 and November 2015.The imaging was analyzed including pulmonary parenchyma, pulmonary interstitial, mediastinal lymph nodes, pericardium and pleural cavity on the CTPA examination.
