Clinical presentation of the patient can vary greatly and diagnosis can be difficult to make. In this manuscript, diagnostic modalities are reviewed and a diagnostic algorithm suggested. Further, results of present treatment options are evaluated and treatment strategies for different clinical scenarios suggested.
