We report an isolated giant solid macronodular tuberculoma in an 8-year-old boy. A large-space-occupying lesion in the right lobe with nodular surface and hard consistency mimicked liver malignancy. This case is unusual as the ultrasonography, computed tomography scan, and aspiration cytology were all suggestive of a malignant tumor. Laparotomy confirmed a 15 × 10 cm nodular tumor present in the right lobe of liver. The segments 5, 6, 7, and 8 were excised. The histopathology revealed tuberculosis.
Leydig cell tumours of the testis are rare and comprise only 3-5% of the testicular tumours. Some present with endocrinal abnormality and some do not. Here we present a case which was diagnosed as Leydig cell tumour of the testis by F.N.A.C which was later confirmed by histopathology. This case is being presented because of its rarity, a paucity of the number of cases reported, and a scarcity of literature too. This also adds to the value of F.N.A.C in a conservative approach like enucleation for the small or hidden tumours of the testis.
carried out on 50 patients with suspected adnexal masses from the department of Gynecology. The cases were recruited from Sri Venkateswara medical college, Tirupathi. All patients underwent ultrasound and the final diagnosis was made by histopathological examination in 50 cases. All histopathology reports were reviewed. The findings of sonography was correlated to histopathological findings, which were taken as gold standard. Results: In the present study out of 50 cases, 37 cases (74%) were diagnosed as benign in US, 13 cases (26%) were malignant on correlation to histopathological analysis. 40 cases (80%) were benign, 10 cases (20%) were malignant. 3 cases (6%) were assumed as malignant in US, but actually not in histopathology. The overall sensitivity was 92.5% and specificity was 100%, positive predictive value was 100% and negative predective value 76.92%. Conclusion: 2D US and Doppler study with a good equipment when appropriately performed by an experienced radiologist, using a proper methodology and standard guidelines has proved to be a very useful highly diagnostic and a reliable method with good sensitivity and specificity.
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.
