Ambiguity in Diagnosis of Extra-Pulmonary Breast Tuberculosis as Breast Abscess/Duct Ectasia
Hemlata Panwar, T Santosh, Bharti Kumari, Vandita Singh and RK Ramchandani
Article Type: Case Report | First Published: September 03, 2018
Tubercular mastitis is a great masquerader and is an extremely rare entity as extra-pulmonary tuberculosis even in endemic countries like India and incidence accounts for 4% of breast lesions. We report a case of primary TB of breast in a elderly female presenting as diffuse upper left breast lump with indurated and ulcerated overlying skin along with retraction of nipple. Clinically suspicion was of abscess and duct ectasia. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of breast lump with touch impri...

Malignant Melanoma Arising of Gland Pigmentary Disorders
Vitorino Modesto dos Santos and Lister Arruda Modesto dos Santos
Article Type: Letter To Editor | First Published: September 03, 2018
Malignant melanoma represents up to 5% of cutaneous cancers, but up to 75% of the cases have fatal outcomes. The early diagnosis and prompt treatment can reduce the impressive mortality rate of this ominous malignancy. Both amelanotic and melanotic melanoma may be associated with delayed clinical suspicion and late diagnosis, harmful occurrence that may be related to lack of awareness of health care workers or unusual site of the tumors. The manuscripts herein commented described exceeding rare ...

Long-Term Outcome of Oncologic Right Pulmonary Artery Occlusion
Daniel B Takizawa, Alexandre Kawasaki and Caio J Fernandes
Article Type: Image Article | First Published: September 03, 2018
A 53-year-old female presented chronic dry cough and mild dyspnea, for 6 months. Due to an erroneous interpretation of CT findings (Figure 1A), she was diagnosed as pulmonary embolism, but without improvement with 6 months of anticoagulation. Evaluated at our service with progressive dyspnea, CTPA demonstrated complete occlusion of the right pulmonary artery (Figure 1A and Figure 1B). At echo, initial systolic pulmonary artery pressure 30 mmHg, not suggestive of pulmonary hypertension. A biopsy ...

Incidental Breast Carcinoma in Myocardial Perfusion Imaging Cine Mode
Aylin Akbulut, Suleyman Kalayci, Gokhan Koca and Meliha Korkmaz
Article Type: Image Article | First Published: September 03, 2018
Review of raw data cine mode is essential in the interpretation of myocardial perfusion SPECT imaging (MPI) for not only distinguishing the potential artifacts but also giving further diagnostic information by identifying incidental non-cardiac uptakes. Here, we report an incidental finding of invasive breast carcinoma detected during MPI cine mode....

Mapping of M2 and 5-HT1A Receptors in the Human Amygdala
Olga Kedo, Karl Zilles, Nicola Palomero-Gallagher and Katrin Amunts
Article Type: Image Article | First Published: September 03, 2018
Subdivisions of the amygdala were identified in the color-coded receptor autoradiographs immediately adjacent to Nissl-stained sections in the right hemisphere at the level of the central nucleus. Color scales visualize the concentrations for each receptor (cholinergic muscarinic M2 or serotoninergic 5-HT1A receptors). After incubation of 20-μm thick coronal sections with the respective tritium-labelled ligand and exposition of the sections against the tritium-sensitive films, the films were de...

Microhomology of Viral/Host DNAs and Macrostructure of Herpesviral Genome
Felix Filatov and Alexandr Shargunov
Article Type: Research Article | First Published: September 01, 2018
In 2015, we described short continuous fragments of human herpesvirus DNA, identical to the cellular ones, which we called microhomology (hits) because of their small size (≥ 20 nt). We noticed that generally the increase in the density (D) of these hits in human herpesviruses is inversely proportional to a decrease in the pathogenicity of these viruses. In this small work, we are considering the question of the existence of more objective features of HHV DNA (which can accompany the dynamics ...

Article Type: Image Article | First Published: August 29, 2018
Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disease of unknown etiology, characterized by noncaseating granuloma variably infiltrating the respiratory tract, ganglions, eyes, internal organs and the skin. The heterogeneity of cutaneous sarcoidosis represents a diagnostic challenge for physicians and affirms its reputation as a "great imitator". Common specific lesions associated with sarcoidosis are papules, plaques, nodules, scar sarcoidosis and lupus pernio. Atypical presentations of sarcoidosis...

Sheeppox and goatpox are caused by a genus of Capripox virus causing a severe problem and great economic loss in Ethiopia and also in sheep and goat rearing countries in many parts of the world. The objective of this review is to give insight on epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment and control measures of sheeppox and goatpox disease. Generally, the disease is less commonly seen in indigenous breeds in area where it is endemic as compared to exotic breeds. Mostly the disease is transmitted by dire...
