There was no past medical history to support benign pleural etiologies of talc pleurodesis, asbesto-sis-related pleural plaques, and fibrothorax. However, the patient’s prior breast malignancy had included malignant phyllodes tumor with osteosarcomatous differentiation, in addition to invasive ductal carcinoma. On bone scan, the left hemithorax demonstrated intense radiotracer uptake, reflecting osteoid tissue, raising suspicion for osteosarcomatous pleural metastasis. This was supported by increasing left pleural lesions, as well as right lung biopsy demonstrating metastatic phyllodes with osteosarcomatous differentiation. Therefore, the hyperdense pleural lesions were determined to represent pleural metastasis from osteosarco-matous breast phyllodes tumor.","PeriodicalId":410090,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Imaging and Case Reports","volume":"77 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139340679","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It binds to the ACE-2 receptor and transmembrane serine protease 2 and is highly virulent. There are many sequelae of this virus, including neurological consequences. We have performed a literature review of the neurological sequelae of COVID-19 with relation to neuroimaging and then present a case series. Case Series: Seven cases were seen by neurology consultants at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City between February and May of 2020; 5 met criteria. The majority of these consultations were called for encephalopathy. Some had neuroimaging of brain MRI or head CT, which all showed microvascular disease. One case had prior imaging without microvascular disease.Summary/Conclusion: It is known that vascular disease is a risk factor for severe COVID-19 infection. This case series demonstrates presence of microvascular disease in patients with encephalopathy. We know that microvascular disease can be a risk factor for toxic metabolic encephalopathy. It is unclear if the microvascular disease was present prior to infection, although at least one patient had prior imaging without microvascular disease. More research is needed to determine if COVID-19 infection can cause vascular disease.","PeriodicalId":410090,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Imaging and Case Reports","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128396027","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Corneal melt is caused by breakdown of corneal collagen which may be caused by various etiologies including inflammatory, infectious, and trauma have been linked to corneal melt. Corneal melt is rarely caused by autoimmune conditions including rheumatoid arthritis, vasculitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, relapsing polychondritis, and systemic sclerosis. We present an 83-year-old female hispanic patient with history of peripheral vascular disease who presented with corneal melt. Patient’s clinical history as well as labs, specifically anti-centromere antibody were consistent with limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis. Patient was started on treatment with Rituximab for the management of corneal melt associated with systemic sclerosis, which resulted in improvement of the corneal melt as well as symptoms of systemic sclerosis. Careful attention needs to be placed on the etiology of the corneal melt in order to prevent disease progression. The key to treatment of corneal melt is treatment of the underlying cause. Appropriate treatment and identification of corneal melt is paramount to prevention of permanent visual loss.","PeriodicalId":410090,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Imaging and Case Reports","volume":"100 12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126063385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The few cases reported in the literature presented poor and incomplete imaging. In this report, we describe the case of a 72-year-old male patient hospitalized for dyspnoea and chest tightness. For these reasons, he underwent chest X-ray, contrast-enhanced CT, MRI, and PET, which revealed a large mass around the aortic walls. The patient underwent a CT-guided biopsy and the sub-sequent histopathological evaluation indicated features consistent with a soft tissue sarcoma and positive staining for vimentin. Infiltration of aorta walls was confirmed by an MRI study with cine-MRI sequences. The patient was treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy, showing partial response. Unfortunately, during the following attempted surgical removal of the mediastinal mass, the patient deceased as a result of an aorta rupture. Our experience could help in diagnostic confidence and differential diagnosis, especially with benign tumors such as neurogenic tumors.","PeriodicalId":410090,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Imaging and Case Reports","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130395353","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
