Ultrasound diagnosis of breast implant rupture: beware the atypical presentation and interpret with care

We report a 36-year-old lady that 16 years post-augmentation
presented with a unilateral gradually swollen breast with no associated lymphadenopathy. Ultrasound examination reported implant
rupture, and exchange of implants was subsequently performed, only to reveal serous fluid (negative to culture, cytology and
microscopy) and a macroscopically intact implant. A review of the literature has revealed that other imaging modalities are,
either in isolation or in combination, more sensitive and specific for implant rupture. We therefore aim to raise awareness
of this in the hope that we can potentially prevent further unnecessary operations.

Nora’s lesion of the thumb and a differential diagnosis

Abstract  In this paper, we report a rare case of a solitary osteochondromatous tumour on the volar tip of the thumb of a 47-year-old
woman. An X-ray examination showed a heavily calcific mass close to the bone and an alteration of the bone, next to the lesion.
A wide-margin biopsy was performed on this tumour and a histological examination was conducted, which showed the characteristics
of a bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation of the bone (Nora’s lesion). The lesion was 0.8?×?0.9 cm. This neoplasm
has a high tendency for local recurrence, although metastatic behaviour has not yet been reported. Due to its possible recurrence,
this lesion requires radical surgery and, at times, amputation is necessary. In this case, wound healing was uncomplicated
