ABSTRACT. An eighteen month old female Doberman pinscher dog was referred to teaching hospital of Adnan Menderes University, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine with the complaint of right forelimb lameness for a month. On the basis of clinical, radiographical, scintigraphical, computed tomographical and histopathological findings, aneurysmal bone cyst was diagnosed. Surgical curettage and bone cement treatment were applied. The patient recovered after 12 months. This case proves that aneurysmal bone cyst, without osteolysis and/or damages to the surrounding tissues, may result in a good prognosis if curettage and treatment with bone cement are done. KEY WORDS: aneurysmal bone cyst, bone cement, canine.

Abnormal BMD is a common problem in patients with CP and CP + E. Abnormal BMD was related to the severity of CP, but not to vitamin D levels or AED treatment.

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the presence of pyramidal lobe in thyroid scintigraphy and to compare the presence of pyramidal lobe in different thyroid pathologies between genders. Methods: Images of 866 patients (663 female, 203 male) with ages ranging from 8 to 85 were evaluated retrospectively. Presence of pyramidal lobe and its location were established in images. Patients were divided into groups in terms of gender, presence of nodular/diffuse goiter, thyroid function test results and rate of the presence of pyramidal lobe and whether a significant difference existed between the groups were calculated.Results: Of the 866 patients, 156 (18%) had pyramidal lobe observed in scintigraphy. Hundred and 26 (81%) of patients observed to have pyramidal lobe were female and 30 (19%) were male. Pyramidal lob stemmed from the left lobe in 76 (48%) patients, right lobe in 61 (40%) patients, and isthmus in 19 (12%) patients. Pyramidal lobe visualization rate was 18% for euthyroidism and hyperthyroidism, it was found as 15% for hypothyroidism. The rate of pyramidal lobe visualization was 13% in nodular goiter patients, 43% in diffuse goiter patients, and 20% in patients whose scintigraphy showed normal thyroid glands. In the statistical evaluation, rate of pyramidal lobe visualization in diffuse goiter patients was found to be significantly higher compared to other patients (p<0.001).Conclusion: Preoperative imaging of pyramidal lobe especially in patients requiring total thyroidectomy would decrease relapses that may occur later and thus facilitate the treatment and monitoring of patients. Conflict of interest:None declared.

Laryngeal tuberculosis is a rare presentation of tuberculosis. It can mimic laryngeal carcinoma with its clinical and imaging findings. A 51-year old woman underwent 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging for clinically suspected carcinoma of the larynx. PET/CT revealed lung lesions consistent with tuberculosis in additional to hypermetabolic focus on larynx. The patient was histopathologically diagnosed with lung and laryngeal tuberculosis.
