Supernumerary testis or polyorchidism is a rare congenital anomaly with about 200 reported cases in the literature. It may be associated with cryptorchidism, testicular torsion and neoplasms. Ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging are effective noninvasive methods of accurately detecting polyorchidism. In most cases, ultrasonography is diagnostic and magnetic resonance imaging plays confirmatory role by providing additional information if complicated with neoplasia. We report a case of 16-year-old man with right supernumerary testis associated with adenomatous hyperplasia of the rete testis, its sonographic and magnetic resonance imaging findings and management.
Initial presentation of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) as primary pleural lymphoma is extremely rare. We report a case with NHL, who was initially presented with pleural effusion and pleural thickening. Our patients at first received intensive treatment of broad spectrum antibiotics for 10 days with no change in the clinical status, and then were diagnosed with T-lymphoblastic lymphoma with the examination of pleural fluid by using cytologic and flow cytometric methods, and treated with LMT89 group B treatment protocol. Our case points out the necessity for considering the NHL within the differential diagnosis of any pediatric patient presenting with sterile pleural effusion and pleural thickening who does not respond to antimicrobial therapy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
