  2. Nodular regenerative hyperplasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nodular_regenerative...

    Nodular regenerative hyperplasia (NRH) is a rare liver disease, characterised by the growth of nodules within the liver, resulting in liver hyperplasia.While in many cases it is asymptomatic and thus goes undetected – or is only discovered incidentally while investigating some other medical condition – in some people it results in non-cirrhotic portal hypertension (NCPH).

  3. Schmorl's nodes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schmorl's_nodes

    Schmorl's nodes are fairly common, especially with minor degeneration of the aging spine, but they are also seen in younger spines. Schmorl's nodes often cause no symptoms, but may simply reflect that "wear and tear" of the spine has occurred over time; they may also reflect that bone strength was at one time somewhat compromised, perhaps due to a vitamin D deficiency although this has yet to ...

  4. Ultrasonography of liver tumors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasonography_of_liver...

    B-mode ultrasonography is unable to distinguish between regenerative nodules and borderline lesions such as dysplastic nodules and even early HCC. Doppler examination also has a low sensitivity in differentiating dysplastic nodules from early HCC. Doppler signal may be absent in both regenerative and dysplastic nodules.

  5. Focal nodular hyperplasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focal_nodular_hyperplasia

    Ultrasound of malformed vessels within the fibrous scar of focal nodular hyperplasia. Liver tumor types by relative incidence in adults in the United States, with focal nodular hyperplasia at right. [3] Focal nodular hyperplasia's most recognizable gross feature is a central stellate scar seen in 60–70% of cases.

  6. Spinal tumor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_tumor

    Spinal cord compression is commonly found in patients with metastatic malignancy. [10] Back pain is a primary symptom of spinal cord compression in patients with known malignancy. [11] Back pain may prompt a bone scan to confirm or exclude spinal metastasis. Rapid identification and intervention of metastatic spinal cord compression is ...

  7. Dural ectasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dural_ectasia

    The etiology of dural ectasia is unknown, but it has been suggested that is due to increased hydrostatic pressure, [8] general weakened connective tissue [9] or as a result of the pulsatile flow of cerebrospinal fluid on weakened spinal dura. [10] Dural ectasia is common in Marfan syndrome, [3] occurring in 63–92% of people with the syndrome ...

  8. Tarlov cyst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarlov_cyst

    Current treatment options include CSF aspiration, fibrin-glue therapy, laminectomy with wrapping of the cyst, among other surgical treatment approaches. Interventional treatment of Tarlov cysts is the only means by which symptoms might permanently be resolved due to the fact that the cysts often refill after aspiration.

  9. Rheumatoid nodule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rheumatoid_nodule

    Because rheumatoid nodules also cause pain or nerve entrapment, treatment for these symptoms with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may be sufficient. [5] Other drug therapies, such as corticosteroids, have shown to decrease nodular size, however, it can increase the risk of infection as well. [24]
