RESUMO
We present a case of an 18-year-old female referred for an MRI pelvis to evaluate suspected uterine anomaly by ultrasound. The MRI showed a complete septate uterus and in addition, an elongated tubular structure (isointense to the spleen) extending from the left ovary in the left retroperitoneal region/left paracolic gutter to the under-splenic surface. CT abdomen and pelvis revealed this to be a similarly enhancing structure as the spleen and appears as a tubular retroperitoneal structure connecting the left ovary to the spleen with associated vasculature joining the splenic vein cranially and the ovarian vessels caudally consistent with splenogonadal fusion.
RESUMO
Multiple primary malignancies are a well-recognized entity, with increased recognition and detection alongside development of hybrid imagining. We present a rare case of a 16-year-old male with gnathic osteosarcoma and incidental finding of a second silent synchronous B-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukemia in the lower limb. Treated successfully by chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery.
RESUMO
Multiple myeloma patients are recognized to have a higher risk of venous thrombosis. The cause of this could be attributed to several risk factors, such as circulating prothrombotic microparticles, disease-specific variables, and alterations in coagulation and fibrinolysis factors. Recent research has revealed that these individuals also experience greater arterial thrombosis, including acute myocardial infarction and stroke. In this case report, we present the clinical profile and management of a 42-year-old patient who presented with signs and symptoms of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. The aim of this case report is to highlight a rare clinical presentation and diagnostic workup in a patient with multiple myeloma. Additionally, we discuss the possible factors provoking the development of DVT as a first presentation before treatment initiation and their possible mechanisms.
