1/24. thyroid gland hematoma after blunt cervical trauma.Thyroid hematoma is a rare cause of airway obstruction in victims of blunt trauma. The case of a 34-year-old woman who developed orthopnea after a low-energy motor vehicle accident is described. Presenting greater than 24 hours after her accident, the patient noted dysphagia, tracheal deviation, and postural dyspnea. The diagnosis of thyroid gland hematoma was made with a combination of fiberoptic laryngoscopy, cervical computed tomography, and great vessel and carotid angiography. Invasive airway management was not required. The patient underwent a total thyroidectomy and recovered without complications.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/24. Delayed posttraumatic adrenal hematoma.Posttraumatic adrenal hemorrhage is a frequent finding after severe abdominal trauma and can have important clinical implications if it is bilateral. With the increased use of helical CT in the evaluation of trauma patients, posttraumatic adrenal hematoma is more frequently diagnosed. We present the CT findings of a unilateral posttraumatic adrenal hemorrhage where the diagnostic findings only appeared in the follow-up study. We think that mild enlargement of the adrenal gland in a trauma patient can be an early sign of an impending adrenal hemorrhage.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/24. A case of "silent" pheochromocytoma presenting as spontaneous retroperitoneal hematoma.pheochromocytoma of the adrenal gland can be the cause of massive and lethal retroperitoneal haemorrhage presenting as acute abdomen. Here we report a case of retroperitoneal hematoma, with concomitant peritoneal spillage, due to the spontaneous rupture of a silent pheochromocytoma. The main clinical findings of this disease will be described. Therapy and prognosis will be also discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/24. Case report: chronic expanding hematoma in the adrenal gland with pathologic correlations.We report a case of chronic expanding hematoma in the adrenal gland. Mixed signal intensity in a mosaic pattern was seen on T2-weighted images. A focal area suggesting a subacute hematoma was also noted. The dynamic CT scan showed heterogeneous contrast enhancement in the arterial phase and heterogeneous spread of the enhanced area within the tumor. awareness of this finding may prevent the misdiagnosis of a tumor as a neoplastic intratumoral hemorrhage.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/24. Spontaneous splenic haematoma in a teenager with infectious mononucleosis.Spontaneous subcapsular splenic hematoma formation without rupture in infectious mononucleosis is a very unusual occurrence. splenic rupture in infectious mononucleosis (Pfeiffer disease, or glandular fever) is a rare but life-threatening complication. A conservative management is successful in those patients in stable condition. We describe the presentation and the clinical progress of a case in whom a sudden enlargement in hematoma's diameter needed a splenectomy to avoid the risk of blood effusion in the abdominal cavity. The contribution of the sonographic examination and follow-up in the diagnosis of infectious mononucleosis is emphasised.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/24. Thyroglossal duct cyst masquerading as a haematoma.Thyroglossal duct cysts most frequently present in childhood as painless midline swellings around the level of the hyoid. Classically the cyst moves upwards on protruding the tongue. Here we report a novel case of a thyroglossal cyst in an adult in whom the history, examination and fine needle aspiration cytology were typical of a traumatic haematoma. This case is also unique because the thyroglossal duct cyst extended beyond the thyroid gland to the suprasternal notch and actually required two parallel transverse cervical incisions for its complete en bloc removal.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/24. Esophageal tuberculosis presenting as intramural esophagogastric hematoma in a hemophiliac patient.A spontaneous intramural esophagogastric hematoma developed in a patient with hemophilia a. The hematoma did not resolve after antihemophiliac factor replacement but ruptured into the stomach causing massive gastrointestinal bleeding. The associated enlarged right tracheobronchial gland and the histopathological finding of fibrocaseating granuloma at the esophagogastric junction indicated that the primary disorder was esophageal tuberculosis. The whole process responded rapidly to antituberculous treatment.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/24. A martial arts injury: karate induced unilateral haematoma of the adrenal gland.Adrenal gland haematoma is often a complication of traumatic events.

9/24. hemorrhage into a thyroid nodule as a cause of thyrotoxicosis.OBJECTIVE: To describe a case of thyrotoxicosis after nontraumatic hemorrhage into the thyroid gland during anticoagulant therapy. methods: We report the details of the initial presentation, subsequent course, and outcome in a patient with a nontraumatic thyroid hematoma and thyrotoxicosis. RESULTS: In a 63-year-old woman, an acute painful neck mass developed during follow-up while she was receiving low-molecular-weight heparin therapy for deep vein thrombosis. Ultrasound study and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a massive intrathyroidal hematoma. This finding was followed by an increase in serum free thyroxine and free triiodothyronine levels and a decrease in the level of serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (thyrotropin). Anticoagulant therapy was discontinued. The clinical course of the thyrotoxicosis was self-limited, and no antithyroid therapy was necessary. The serum thyroid hormone levels decreased into normal ranges as the hematoma underwent subtotal shrinkage. CONCLUSION: endocrine glands are highly vascularized tissues, but nontraumatic hematomas into these organs are extremely rare conditions. Nevertheless, physicians should be aware of the potential occurrence of such a situation, as emphasized in the current case report.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.4keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/24. Anterior rectal wall hematoma: complication of transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy of prostate.Transrectal biopsy of the prostate, because of its directness and simplicity, is utilized by many practicing urologists to obtain prostatic tissue for histologic evaluation. Complications arising from this procedure are primarily of an infectious origin and less commonly of a vascular etiology. We report on the first known patient in whom a large hematoma of the anterior rectal wall with nearly total occlusion of the rectal lumen developed following a transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy of the prostate. Guidelines to reduce the likelihood of vascular complications following biopsy of the prostate gland for patients consuming medications that may alter normal platelet function or interfere with the various clotting factors are described.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
