    Mucoepidermoid bronchial tumor in a child masqueradingas tuberculosis
    (SAGE Publications, 2024) Opperman, Johan; Goussard, Pierre; Gie, André
    Background: Endobronchial primary tumors are rare in children and are difficult to diagnose, often leading to a delay in the diagnosis. In the developing world, there are other more common causes of luminal airway obstruction and tumors are not always considered. An 11-year-old HIV-negative boy presented with a fever and cough. His condition deteriorated during the next 2 days, and he needed high-flow oxygen. On examination, there were no signs of chronic lung disease, but he had reduced chest expansion on the left, was dull to percussion over the entire left side of the chest, had markedly reduced air entry on the left, and his trachea deviated to the left. The chest X-ray at the time of admission demonstrated left basal opacity with volume loss, displacement of the cardio mediastinal shadow to the left and compensatory expansion of the right lung across the midline (Figure 1A).

    Advanced tumour-induced osteomalacia secondary to sinonasal phosphaturic mesenchymal tumour
    (AOSIS (pty) Ltd, 2024) van Wijk, Monica; Opperman, Johan F.; Afrogheh, Amir H.
    Phosphaturic mesenchymal tumours (PMT) are rare, benign lesions and the most common tumour to cause tumour-induced osteomalacia (TIO), a paraneoplastic syndrome. Patients frequently exhibit severe osteomalacia, accompanied by multiple fractures, which significantly impair their quality of life. Complete surgical resection is curative. Contribution: A rare case of sinonasal PMT is presented, with a focus on the imaging findings and role of the radiologist and nuclear physician.
