Infants presenting with urinary retention must be evaluated for the presence of presacral neoplasm. Two cases--a newborn and a seven-month-old infant--are presented that illustrate the need for prompt radiologic evaluation in order to detect or exclude a pelvic tumor.
Solitary osteochondromas rarely extend into the spinal canal and compress upon the spinal cord. The authors report a case where the use of magnetic resonance imaging enabled diagnosis of a solitary, intraspinal osteochondroma causing extensive compression of the spinal cord.
We present an unusual case of spindle cell lipoma of the foot which produced marked bone erosion. Spindle cell lipoma was initially described in the mid-1970s as having the characteristics of a lipoma with partial or total replacement of mature fat by collagen-forming spindle cells. This lesion is most commonly found in the subcutaneous tissue of the posterior neck and shoulder in men between 45 and 65 years of age.
