Extraosseous Ewing's sarcoma of the lungs is a rare soft tissue tumor of children and adolescents usually found in the extremities. In this case report, we present a 4-year-old male child with primary Ewing Sarcoma of the lungs who presented with shortness of breath, cough, left-side chest pain, and hemoptysis for two months. We reviewed clinical, radiological, and pathological findings for this rare malignancy.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a fatal disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.TB) with over eight million annual mortality reported worldwide attributed to the disease's direct or indirect effects. Among the most severe form of M. TB is an infection of the Central nervous system (CNS-TB). This infection is characterized by meningitis, tuberculoma, and tuberculous brain abscess. Tuberculomas are the most common variety of intracranial parenchymal tuberculosis. They occur because of conglomeration and conjugation of tubercular microgranulomas, which tend to occur at the grey-white matter junction due to the arrest of the hematogenous disseminating microbes caused by a decrease in the caliber of vessels in that region. Intracranial tuberculoma shows central hypointensity compared to grey matter, seeing this centrally on T2W images is helpful, as it is not seen in most other ring-enhancing lesions.The purpose of this study was to evaluate the findings of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of patients with intracranial tuberculoma using retrospective hospital records.We conducted a retrospective data analysis of 73 patients with an age range of 3-70 years between 2018 and 2021 who were diagnosed with intracranial tuberculoma using MRI features at the Radiology Department, Somali-Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan Hospital. All the patients' MRI were evaluated, including conventional and contrast sequences and as well as MR diffusion.This study revealed that most tuberculoma patients were female with 43 (58.9%) and 30 (41.1%) male. According to age group, the majority of patients 30 (41.1%) were 18-30 years of age. Based on the distribution of the conglomerates' tubercles, 39 (53.4%) were located in the supratentorial region, while 24 (32.9%) were found in both the supra-tentorial and infra-tentorial regions, with 10 (13.7%) residing in the infratentorial region. Interestingly, this study also discovered that the majority of the tuberculoma patients 43 (58.9%) had multifocal lesions, with 30 (41.1%) having single lesions. Also, associated abnormalities were detected in 28 (38.4%) of the patients with meningitis, while 7 (9.6%) had both hydrocephalus and meningitis, 2 (2.7%) had hydrocephalus, and one patient had cerebral infarction.The outcome of this investigation shows MRI as a suitable diagnostic tool for the diagnosis of intracranial tuberculoma and associated abnormalities in geographic areas where tuberculosis is endemic.

The aim of this study is to investigate the agreement between the thyroid image reporting and data systems (TI-RADS) classification and the Bethesda scoring in adults with thyroid nodules and to evaluate the effectiveness of our clinic in the management of thyroid nodules. In this prospective study, in which the analyzes of the patients who applied to the Interventional Radiology Department of our hospital for fine needle aspiration biopsy due to thyroid nodule were analyzed, 59 patients were included between January 1,2020and June 1, 2020. Sonographic features (composition, echogenicity, shape, margin, and echogenic foci) of all nodules were recorded for TI-RADS scoring before biopsy and TI-RADS scoring was performed by the radiologist. It was then the results compared with the Bethesda scoring, which is the cytological classification. A total of 59 patients (n=43; 72.9% female and, n=16; 27.1% male) were analyzed. Of the biopsied nodules, 31 (52.5%) were localized in the right lobe and 28 (47.5%) in the left lobe. The mean longest diameter of the nodules was 35.9±13.9 mm (range, 13-70 mm). The TI-RADS category was also significantly higher in those with larger nodule diameters (p=0.026). There was moderate agreement between both scorings (kappa value=0.406 and p Özet Bu çalışmanın amacı tiroid görüntü raporlama ve veri sistemleri (TI-RADS) sınıflandırması ile Bethesda skorlamasıarasındaki uyumu araştırmak ve tiroid nodüllerinin yönetiminde kliniğimizin etkinliğini değerlendirmektir. Bu prospektifçalışmada 1 Ocak 2020 ve 1 Haziran 2020 tarihleri arasında hastanemiz Girişimsel Radyoloji bölümüne tiroid nodülünedeniyle ince iğne aspirasyon biyopsisi için başvuran hastalar analiz edildi. 18 yaşaltındakilerçalışmaya dahil edilmedi. Biyopsiöncesi TI-RADS sınıflandırması için tüm nodüllerin sonografiközellikleri işlemi yapan radyolog tarafından kaydedildi (kompozisyon, ekojenite,şekil, kontur ve ekojenik odaklar). Sonrasında sonuçlar sitolojik sınıflandırma olan Bethesda skorlamasıile karşılaştırıldı. Çalışmaya toplam 59 hasta (n=43;%72.9kadın ve n=16; %27.1 erkek) dahil edildi. Biyopsi yapılan nodüllerin%52.5’i (n=31) sağlobda, %47.5’i (n=28) sol lobda lokalizeydi. Nodüllerin en uzunçapıortalama 35.9±13.9 mm (minimum-maksimum; 13-70 mm) idi. Nodül boyutu büyük olanlarda TI-RADS kategorisi anlamlıolarak daha yüksekti (p=0.026). TI-RADS ve Bethesda skorlamalarıarasında orta düzeyde bir uyum vardı(kappa değeri=0.406 ve p

Extraosseous Ewing's sarcoma of the lungs is a rare soft tissue tumor of pediatric and adolescent usually found in the extremities. In this case report, we describe such a case in a four year-old-male child presented with shortness of breath, cough, left side chest pain, and hemoptysis for two months. We reviewed clinical, radiological and pathological findings for this rare malignancy. This rare and fatal malignancy has been misdiagnosed and managed inappropriately because of low suspicion of index of taking this into the differential diagnosis.

Penoscrotal transposition is an extremely rare congenital anomaly of the external male genitalia, characterized by malposition of the penis in relation to the scrotum. There are two types of penoscrotal transposition variants, complete and incomplete. In this case report, an 11-year-old boy with complete penoscrotal transposition is described with radiological and physical examination findings., Penoskrostal transpozisyon, dış erkek genitalinin oldukça nadir görülen konjenital bir anomalisi olup penisin skrotuma göre malpozisyonu ile karakterize edilir. Komplet ve inkomplet olmak üzere iki tür penoskrotal transpozisyon varyantı vardır. Bu olgu sunumunda, 11 yaşında, komplet penoskrostal transpozisyonu olan bir erkek çocuk radyolojik ve fizik muayene bulguları ile birlikte tarif edilmiştir.
