HighlightsNodular Fasciitis, also known as infiltrative or pseudosarcomatous fasciitis, is a benign soft tissue tumour of fibroblastic/myofibroblastic differentiation.Magnetic Resonance Imaging was done and showed an irregular mass in the right axilla in the muscular- subcutaneous plane measuring 10.8 × 8.8 × 12 cm.Positive staining with alpha smooth muscle actin(SMA) is a feature of nodular fasciitis suggesting a myofibroblastic differentiation and less possibility of a sarcoma.Treatment options include, observation, as spontaneous regression has been reported, intra-lesional steroid or wide local excision.Magnetic Resonance Imaging along with histopathology and immunohistochemistry are key to diagnosis.
HighlightsEsophageal Tuberculosis accounts for only 2.8% of all cases of Gastrointestinal Tuberculosis.Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed an ulcerative growth in the distal esophagus.Dysphagia is the commonest presenting feature of esophageal tuberculosis.Histopathology and TB-PCR are the key to confirm the diagnosis.
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.
