Editorial experience with 1 year of case reports: a case report and review of the literature
Unlabelled:
We analysed the properties of radiology case reports to create a 'personality profile'.
Methods:
In total, 99 case reports accepted for publication over 1 year were classified on a number of categorical parameters.
Results:
The commonest reported underlying aetiology was tumour (n=40), and the commonest radiological presentation was with a mass (n=29). Classic presentations of rare conditions (33%) were as common as rare presentations of common conditions (35%). Most underlying pathologies were proven with histology. Ten reports were interventional.
Conclusion:
The typical case report is of a tumour presenting as a mass, and ultimately proven by histology.
