Jest and exercise radionuclide angiography has assumed an established place in the detection of coronary artery disease. Increases in end-diastolic volume, global ejection fraction responses and dete­rioration in regional wall motion have all been corre­lated with the presence of CAD.

Surgical intervention for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can have inherent risks. Generally, the benefits of airway clearance outweigh these risks. Occasionally, there can be a narrow line between an expected result (benefits) and a surgical complication (risks). This may be particularly true of uvulopalato­pharyngoplasty (UPPP) which is the most common surgical intervention for OSA at [...]

Pigmented mammary Paget’s disease is a rare clinicopathologic variant of mammary Paget’s dis- ease. It was first reported in 1990 by Ho et al, and only a few such cases have been described after­wards. It has been described as hyperpigmented patches or plaques involving the areola and nipple, which may simulate melanoma both clinically and [...]

An 81-year-old woman presented with an eczematous plaque on her right areola, and she had this lesion for 3 years.

A palpable breast [...]

INTRODUCTION Mammary Paget’s disease is the result of intra­ductal mammary carcinoma that extends to the epidermis of the nipple and areola through a lacti­ferous duct. Pigmented mammary Paget’s disease is a uncommon clinicopathologic variant of mammary Paget’s disease, and this mimics malignant mela­noma both clinically and histopathologically. The characteristic pigmentation is mostly due to the [...]

JXG is the most common form of non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis and is considered a benign histiocytic proliferation. Only six cases of JXG of the fingers have been reported in the English literature; these cases are summarized in Table 1. Sonoda et al reviewed 57 patients with JXG, and reported the case of a 27-year-old woman [...]

4-year-old girl presented with a papule of several months duration on the ventral aspect of the right fourth finger MCP joint (Fig. 1). The lesion was a firm, dome-shaped, yellowish, 0.4X0.4 cm sized papule. There was no remarkable past or family history. On physical examination, there was no limitation of joint motion and no abnormal [...]
