US and CT of the Liver after Electric Shock.

Liver injuries caused by high voltage electricity are rare and result in high mortality and morbidity. They are produced by the resistance to the passage of electrical current through the tissue, which creates heat that leads to coagulation necrosis and rupture of the cell membrane. We present a case of an electrical injury to the liver, diagnosed by ultrasound and CT in a 39-year-old man who presented with skin burns on his right hand and right hemiabdomen. Injuries occurred after the contact with 220 kV high voltage electricity.

Infarcted fibroadenoma of the breast: report of two new cases with review of the literature.

INTRODUCTION: Fibroadenomas are the most common benign breast tumors in young women. Infarction is rarely observed in fibroadenomas and when present, it is usually associated with pregnancy or lactation. Infarction can exceptionally occur as a complication of previous fine-needle aspiration biopsy or during lactation and pregnancy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Retrospective review of 650 cases of fibroadenomas diagnosed at our institution during the 8-years period identified two cases of fibroadenomas with infarction (rate ~0.3%). RESULTS: Two partially infarcted fibroadenomas were diagnosed on core biopsy and frozen section in an adolescent girl (13 years old) and in a young woman (25 years old), respectively. No preceding fine-needle aspiration biopsy was performed in these cases, nor were the patients pregnant or lactating at the time of the diagnosis. CONCLUSION: Spontaneous infarction within fibroadenoma is a rare phenomenon in younger patients. The presence of necrosis on core biopsy or frozen section should be cautiously interpreted and is not a sign of malignancy.

[Takayasu arteritis: radiological characteristics]. / Takayasu arteritis: radioloske karakteristike.

Takayasu arteritis is a granulomatous vasculitis of unknown etiology that commonly affects the thoracic and abdominal aorta, great vessels, results in segmental stenosis, occlusion, dilatation and aneurysm formation in these vessels. We described case 19-year-old girl with and clinical and radiology manifestation disease. Patient had absent upper-extremity pulses, hypotension, (RP: 90/50 mmHg), easy fatigability and ischemic symptoms. Radiology findings were present Type I - classic pulse less type that involves the brachiocephalic trunk, carotid arteries and subclavian arteries.
