Patellar Tendon Rupture: Radiologic and Ultrasonographic Findings
Thoracoscopic resection of a giant mediastinal parathyroid cyst
Parathyroid cysts are a rare situation, unusually in the mediastinum. The preoperative diagnosis could be more difficult in some atypical topographies and imaging characteristics in particular in case of huge mediastinal cyst. In the following years traditionally, in case of intrathoracic parathyroid cysts, sternotomy or thoracotomy have been the preferred approaches. We report a case of an older patient with a huge mediastinal parathyroid cyst removed successfully using videothoracoscopy
Tract metastasis from previously unknown malignant pleural mesothelioma: a case report.
A case of malignant pleural mesothelioma discovered because of a chest wall metastasis which developed over a previous pleural drainage site is presented. Imaging findings at sonography, contrast enhanced computed tomography and fluorodeoxyglucose - positron emission tomography are shown
High-resolution computed tomography in the diagnosis and follow-up of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is the most common interstitial lung disease and is associated with a fatal prognosis. Familiarity with the typical appearances of IPF on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is important, as in the appropriate clinical setting, it is often sufficient for establishing a confident diagnosis of IPF without the need for surgical biopsy. Moreover, HRCT can provide important prognostic information in IPF. This is noteworthy, as the course of IPF is variable, and many patients develop complications leading to respiratory failure and death. The purpose of this paper is to review the progress made towards a better understanding of the HRCT patterns of IPF

DISH of the cervical spine causing epiglottis impingement
Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a condition characterized by calcification and ossification of ligaments and entheses; it mainly affects the vertebral column. We report the case of a patient with pharyngeal dysphagia and episodic aspiration secondary to DISH involvement of the cervical spine, which had caused alteration in the epiglottic tilt mechanism during deglutition
