    颅内脑膜瘤是最常见的原发性脑肿瘤,通常具有明确的成像特征。该病例报告主要针对一名56岁的女性患者,该患者因头部外伤史和偶然的占位性发现而被转诊,以调查颅内脑膜瘤的非典型影像学表现,专注于具有不同放射学结果的特定病例。脑膜瘤通常与特定的放射学特征有关,例如对比度增强,硬脑膜尾部,和骨增生。然而,这一特殊病例表现出非典型的影像学特征,引起了对潜在肿瘤类型的担忧.深入分析和随后的组织病理学检查显示,世界卫生组织(WHO)II级非典型脑膜瘤。这种脑膜瘤的变异表现出细胞增加,核非典型性,和高的有丝分裂指数,表明更具侵袭性的肿瘤行为。该研究强调了识别脑膜瘤中非典型影像学表现的重要性,因为它们可能表明具有潜在不同临床病程和治疗方法的高级别肿瘤。准确识别这些非典型特征有助于提高诊断准确性,并指导颅内脑膜瘤患者的适当手术决策。
    Intracranial meningiomas are the most common primary brain tumors, typically presenting with well-defined imaging characteristics. This case report focuses on a 56-year-old female patient who was referred due to a history of head trauma and an incidental space-occupying finding to investigate the atypical imaging appearances of intracranial meningiomas, focusing on a specific case with distinct radiological findings. Meningiomas are commonly associated with specific radiological features, such as contrast enhancement, dural tail, and hyperostosis. However, this particular case exhibited atypical imaging characteristics that raised concerns about the underlying tumor type. In-depth analysis and subsequent histopathological examination revealed a World Health Organization (WHO) grade II atypical meningioma. This variant of meningioma demonstrated increased cellularity, nuclear atypia, and a high mitotic index, indicating more aggressive tumor behavior. The study highlights the importance of recognizing atypical imaging appearances in meningiomas, as they may indicate higher-grade tumors with a potentially different clinical course and management approach. Accurate identification of these atypical features can contribute to improved diagnostic accuracy and guide appropriate surgical decision-making for patients with intracranial meningiomas.

    肩胛骨翅膀的主要原因,也被称为肩胛骨,通常是前锯肌的故障,斜方肌,和菱形,三个主要的肩胛骨稳定器。肩胛骨翼通常是由胸长神经损伤引起的,削弱了前锯齿肌。由于长胸神经的病程较长,因此特别容易受到急性和非创伤性损伤。很少有记录的孤立的肩胛骨翼。这里,我们介绍了一名15岁的亚裔女性,她最初表现为右侧软骨疼痛,在一般体检中,注意到一个偶然发现的左翼肩胛骨。
    The primary cause of scapular winging, also known as scapula alata, is typically a malfunction of the serratus anterior, trapezius, and rhomboids, the three major scapular stabilizers. Scapular winging is often caused by injuries to the long thoracic nerve, which weakens the serratus anterior muscle. The long thoracic nerve is particularly vulnerable to both acute and nontraumatic damage due to its longer and superficial course. There are very few documented cases of isolated scapula winging. Here, we present the case of a 15-year-old Asian female who initially presented with right hypochondrium pain, and during a general physical examination, an incidental finding of a left-winged scapula was noted.

    Obstructive jaundice, characterised by yellow discolouration of the skin and mucous membranes due to reduced bile flow, often necessitates surgical intervention for resolution. This article provides a comprehensive literature review to contextualise the management of obstructive jaundice, focusing on common treatment modalities such as common bile duct (CBD) stenting and Whipple\'s procedure for pancreatic head cancer. Additionally, the incidental finding of a Phrygian cap of the gallbladder during surgical intervention for pancreatic head cancer is described in detail. A case presentation of a 48-year-old female with obstructive jaundice and pancreatic head cancer is outlined, detailing the diagnostic process, treatment decisions, and surgical interventions. The patient underwent CBD stenting followed by Whipple\'s procedure to address the pancreatic head cancer, during which the incidental discovery of a Phrygian cap of the gallbladder was noted. The discussion of the incidental finding highlights the complexity it adds to surgical interventions and emphasises the importance of adaptability and precision in managing anatomical variations. A comparison with similar cases underscores varying approaches to managing incidental findings, ranging from conservative observation to surgical excision based on clinical indications. This case underscores the significance of thorough diagnostic evaluation and surgical intervention in managing incidental findings such as the Phrygian cap, ensuring appropriate patient management and favourable clinical outcomes in complex surgical scenarios.

    未分化肉瘤被认为是一种罕见且侵袭性的软组织肉瘤,据报道下肢是软组织肉瘤的常见部位。
    我们在一名49岁女性中,在下肢多普勒超声检查中发现了罕见的未分化肉瘤,并表现为右侧血栓性小腿疼痛。
    关于超声波,呈现的未分化肉瘤表现为一个大的异质性,椭圆形,软组织肿块深深坐于右小腿,受累于比目鱼肌。超声的特征模仿了血肿的特征;然而,通过彩色多普勒应用显示内部血管,迅速排除了病变为血肿的可能性。然后将该病例转交给肉瘤分诊多学科小组进行审查。磁共振成像,计算机断层扫描和活检是这种情况的诊断检查的一部分,组织学证实软组织病变为未分化肉瘤。急诊右腿膝盖以上截肢术作为患者治疗的一部分。
    本病例报告提供了一种罕见的偶然发现,在下肢多普勒超声检查中发现未分化肉瘤,引起血栓性小腿疼痛。鼓励超声检查者在下肢多普勒超声压缩期间进行必要的注意并仔细检查任何相邻和偶然的软组织病变,二维成像和彩色成像,尤其是那些表现为恶性肿瘤的特征性病例;应将此类病例紧急转诊至三级软组织肉瘤中心进行进一步评估和治疗。
    UNASSIGNED: Undifferentiated sarcoma is considered a rare and aggressive type of soft tissue sarcoma with the lower extremity reported as the common site for soft tissue sarcomas.
    UNASSIGNED: We present a rare incidental finding of undifferentiated sarcoma during lower limb Doppler ultrasound with a presenting symptom of right thrombotic-like calf pain in a 49-year-old female.
    UNASSIGNED: On ultrasound, the presented undifferentiated sarcoma appeared as a large heterogeneous, oval-shaped, soft tissue mass deeply seated in the right calf with involvement of the soleus muscle. The features on ultrasound mimicked those of a hematoma; however, the possibility of the lesion being a haematoma was promptly ruled out with the demonstration of internal vascularity on colour Doppler application. The case was then referred to a sarcoma triage multidisciplinary team for a review. Magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography and biopsy were parts of the diagnostic workup for this case, histology confirmed the soft tissue lesion to be an undifferentiated sarcoma. Emergency above knee amputation of the right leg was performed as part of the patient\'s treatment.
    UNASSIGNED: This case report presents a rare incidental finding of undifferentiated sarcoma encountered during lower limb Doppler ultrasound causing thrombotic-like calf pain. Sonographers are encouraged to pay necessary attention and carefully examine any adjacent and incidental soft tissue lesion during lower limb Doppler ultrasound using compression, two-dimensional imaging and colour imaging, especially those that appear with characteristic features of malignancy; urgent referral should be made of such cases to a tertiary soft tissue sarcoma centre for further evaluation and management.

    我们概述了一名68岁妇女的介绍,由于她的保险要求,她接受了胸部X光片,导致左侧胸腔积液的发现。积液进一步表征为位于随后的成像中。胸腔穿刺术产生了渗出液,导致患者接受电视胸腔镜手术(VATS)。在此过程中,可见囊性肿块,随着手术转变为开胸手术和左下叶肺叶切除术。病理为梭形细胞肉瘤。患者的详尽病史显示,数十年的职业暴露于石棉。这份报告的意义是说明临床表现,免疫组织化学特征,以及罕见梭形细胞恶性肿瘤的治疗。我们的案例也提高了对患者进行个性化筛查的重要性,共同的决策依据。
    We outline the presentation of a 68-year-old woman who received a chest radiograph due to her insurance requirements, resulting in the discovery of a left-sided pleural effusion. The effusion was further characterized as loculated on subsequent imaging. Thoracentesis yielded exudative fluid, leading to the patient undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). During this procedure, a cystic mass was visualized, with the conversion of the operation to an open thoracotomy and left lower lobe lobectomy. Pathology was positive for spindle cell sarcoma. A thorough history of the patient revealed a decades-long occupational exposure to asbestos. The significance of this report is to illustrate the clinical presentation, immunohistochemical characteristics, and management of a rare spindle cell malignancy. Our case also raises the importance of screening patients on an individualized, shared decision-making basis.

    Riedel的肝叶是一种罕见的解剖变异,通常在影像学检查中偶然发现或通过体格检查中存在肝肿大。虽然患者通常无症状,这种情况的表现可能会有所不同,从非特异性症状到更严重的问题,如扭转,阻塞,破裂,和出血。我们介绍了一个无症状的肝肿大患者,偶然发现他有肝脏的里德尔叶,伴有升高的IgG线粒体抗体。与这种罕见的解剖变异相关的症状范围强调了其在该患者人群中的诊断和监测中的重要性。
    Riedel\'s lobe of the liver is a rare anatomical variant often incidentally found on imaging or through the presence of hepatomegaly on physical examination. While patients are usually asymptomatic, the presentation of this condition can vary, ranging from nonspecific symptoms to more severe issues such as torsion, obstruction, rupture, and bleeding. We present a case of a patient with asymptomatic hepatomegaly who was incidentally found to have Riedel\'s lobe of the liver, accompanied by an elevated IgG mitochondrial antibody. The range of symptoms associated with this rare anatomical variation underscores its importance in diagnosis and surveillance within this patient population.

    肠旋转不良是一种先天性异常,主要诊断为儿童,只有少数病例在成人中报告。在无关的外科手术或验尸检查期间,可能会偶然发现患者。及时认识到这种情况对于防止严重的并发症如肠缺血和潜在的死亡是至关重要的。
    方法:一名40岁的男性在一名儿童跳上腹部后出现急性左上腹腹痛,症状逐渐蔓延。检查显示苍白,腹部压痛,没有保护或僵硬,和完整的肠鸣音。术前诊断工具显示在剖腹手术中证实肠旋转不良,提示执行Ladd\的过程以解决错误旋转。
    肠道正常胚胎发育的破坏是肠道旋转不良的原因。关于额外手术的作用,尤其是在与旋转不良有关的无症状疾病的患者中。
    结论:肠旋转不良在成人中很少见,并且在评估无关的医疗状况时经常偶然发现。及时的识别和手术干预通常会产生积极的结果。我们的案例强调了在评估钝性腹部创伤期间偶然发现的旋转不良,用Ladd\的程序处理。由于与患者的农村血统相关的地理限制,这一点尤其重要,因为未经治疗的旋转不良可能导致未来发生的并发症。
    UNASSIGNED: Intestinal malrotation is a congenital abnormality predominantly diagnosed in children, with only a few cases reported in adults. Patients may be incidentally identified during unrelated surgical procedures or postmortem examinations. It is crucial to promptly recognize this condition to prevent severe complications such as bowel ischemia and potential fatality.
    METHODS: A 40-year-old male presented to the Emergency Department after a child jumped on his abdomen with complaints of acute left upper quadrant abdominal pain progressing to be generalized. Examination showed pallor, abdominal tenderness without guarding or rigidity, and intact bowel sounds. Preoperative diagnostic tools revealed intestinal malrotation confirmed during the laparotomy, prompting the performance of Ladd\'s procedure to address the malrotation.
    UNASSIGNED: Disruption in the normal embryological development of bowel is the cause of intestinal malrotation. The role of additional surgery especially in patients with asymptomatic disease related to malrotation is debated.
    CONCLUSIONS: Intestinal malrotation is rare in adults and often found incidentally during evaluation for unrelated medical conditions. Timely identification and surgical intervention usually result in positive outcomes. Our case underscores the incidental discovery of malrotation during the evaluation of blunt abdominal trauma, treated with Ladd\'s procedure. This is particularly significant due to geographical constraints associated with the patient\'s rural origin, as untreated malrotation could lead to complications in future occurrences.

    E-cadherin(CDH1)中的种系致病变异导致发生小叶乳腺癌和弥漫性胃癌(DGC)的高风险。最近重新评估了CDH1携带者中DGC的累积风险(从80岁的40-83%到25-42%),并且根据家庭中胃癌的存在和数量而变化。由于没有DGC的家庭中胃癌的风险没有准确的估计,国际胃癌连锁联盟的建议并非直截了当:应建议对这些家庭进行预防性胃切除术或内镜监测.将CDH1纳入遗传性乳腺癌和卵巢癌以及胃肠道癌的组成基因面板中,由法国遗传和癌症协会在2018年和2020年推荐,导致鉴定没有DGC的小叶癌家庭,也导致偶然发现致病变异。在偶然发现的情况下,CDH1携带者的管理是复杂的,并且会给患者和提供者带来困境。我们报告了11个家族(47个CDH1携带者),来自我们的肿瘤遗传学部门,专门研究乳腺癌和卵巢癌,包括四个偶然发现。我们确认了六个家庭的医疗记录中没有弥漫性胃癌。我们通过11个CDH1携带者家族讨论了遗传性小叶乳腺癌(HLBC)中弥漫性胃癌风险的管理,其中在内窥镜监测中确定了病灶。我们还报告了CDH1载体中的新结肠印戒癌病例,一种罕见的侵袭性癌症包括在CDH1相关恶性肿瘤中.
    Germline pathogenic variants in E-cadherin (CDH1) confer high risk of developing lobular breast cancer and diffuse gastric cancer (DGC). The cumulative risk of DGC in CDH1 carriers has been recently reassessed (from 40-83% by age 80 to 25-42%) and varies according to the presence and number of gastric cancers in the family. As there is no accurate estimate of the risk of gastric cancer in families without DGC, the International Gastric Cancer Linkage Consortium recommendation is not straightforward: prophylactic gastrectomy or endoscopic surveillance should be proposed for these families. The inclusion of CDH1 in constitutional gene panels for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer and for gastrointestinal cancers, recommended by the French Genetic and Cancer Consortium in 2018 and 2020, leads to the identification of families with lobular cancer without DGC but also to incidental findings of pathogenic variants. Management of CDH1 carriers in case of incidental findings is complex and causes dilemmas for both patients and providers. We report eleven families (47 CDH1 carriers) from our oncogenetic department specialized in breast and ovarian cancer, including four incidental findings. We confirmed that six families did not have diffuse gastric cancer in their medical records. We discuss the management of the risk of diffuse gastric cancer in Hereditary Lobular Breast Cancer (HLBC) through a family of 11 CDH1 carriers where foci were identified in endoscopic surveillance. We also report a new colon signet ring cancer case in a CDH1 carrier, a rare aggressive cancer included in CDH1-related malignancies.
