Abstract:
Kimura's disease is a rare, benign lymphoproliferative disorder of unknown etiology. It occurs most often in Asian men, usually in the second or third decade of life. Most lesions occur in the head and neck followed by the axilla, groin, popliteal region, and arm. The lesions are commonly found in soft tissues. To the best of our knowledge, there has been only one case report of bone involvement in Kimura's disease presented on plain radiography. We report a case of Kimura's disease that involved the proximal meta-diaphysis of the humerus and adjacent soft tissue shown on radiography and MR imaging.

Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle
Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries and conditions affecting the skeletal muscles and associated connective tissues. These disorders can arise from acute biomechanical stresses or chronic overuse and can occur across different age groups. Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and muscular strains, often resulting from...
Translation
Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from the genetic information carried by messenger RNA (mRNA). Following transcription, it constitutes the final step in the expression of genes. This process is carried out by ribosomes, complexes of protein and specialized RNA molecules. Ribosomes, transfer RNA (tRNA), and other proteins produce a chain of amino acids—the polypeptide—as the end product of translation.
