Arterial Thoracic Outlet Syndrome-A Case Study of a 23-Year-Old Female Patient Diagnosed Using a Thermal Imaging Camera.

We present the case of a 23-year-old woman who reported weakness in the left upper limb, decreased warmth, numbness in the fingers, pain in the clavicular region, and a severe cold sensation in the limb. A thermal imaging camera examination was performed for diagnostic purposes, which guided further diagnostic and therapeutic management towards arterial thoracic outlet syndrome (aTOS). Following surgery and rehabilitation procedures, significant remission of symptoms was achieved and the patient's condition improved. This is the first report on the diagnosis of aTOS using thermal imaging, paving the way for further clinical research into this effective, rapid, and radiation-free method of diagnostic imaging. Conclusion: Thermal imaging is one of the most effective, readily available, and patient-safe methods for diagnosing vascular disease associated with flow disruption.

Two Cases of Symptomatic Tailgut Cysts.

Tailgut cysts are rare lesions which are found in the rectorectal space. They develop in the final section of the intestine from which the rectum and anus extend and vary from being asymptomatic to symptomatic due to pressure on organs or nerves. Tailgut cysts are more common in females, usually between 30 and 60 years of age. They are thought to be benign, with variable malignancy risks. Surgical excision followed by histological examination is the gold standard of treatment, but access and approach to tailgut cysts depend on the location and morphology of the lesion. We present two symptomatic cases of this very rare pathology. In both cases, the cyst and coccyx bone were successfully excised using different approaches. The first patient was a 40-year-old woman with a large cyst which caused morning tenesmus, urinary outflow disorders and painful ovulation. Due to the cyst size, laparotomy was performed, and a combined approach was used. The second patient is a 36-year-old woman with co-existing endometriosis and a cyst causing pain in the sacral spine, constipation and tenesmus. The tumor was excised using a Kraske approach, and due to the infiltration of the coccyx bone it was removed using an osteotome. In this patient, perforation of the cyst was also observed. Both patients completed follow-ups involving regular surgical check-ups and MRI scans. Descriptions of different symptoms and surgical approaches make our study an important source of knowledge for diagnosing and treating these very rare tumors.

A Representation of Metastatic Plasma Cell Myeloma as an Uncommonly Shaped Liver Tumor-A Case Report.

The presence of an oval-shaped lesion in the liver is mainly associated with either primary liver cancer or metastatic disease from another malignancy. However, we present the case of a 62-year-old patient diagnosed with plasma cell myeloma, which reveals that these kinds of lesions can also be found during the course of this disease. Rarity and non-specificity make this a very challenging diagnosis for radiologists. It involves a special alert from the doctors taking care of the patient. Biopsy may sometimes be necessary to make a correct diagnosis. It is significant to ensure that the correct treatment is implemented and that the patient is not exposed to the unnecessary diagnosis of another neoplastic disease.
