Introduction: The advent of various new-age radiological modalities over the years has brought about paradigm shifts in diagnostics for clinicians all over the world. These advancements have refined medical practice immeasurably. Accurate diagnosis have, in turn, enabled surgeons to administer appropriate and timely surgical therapy to their patients. The timeline of path-breaking radiological inventions from X-rays to Ultrasonics, Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and beyond, bears living testimony to the role that preoperative imaging plays in a surgeon’s daily life. The present review paper nostalgically remembers and acknowledges the pioneers of this remarkable journey. Additionally, it shares the authors’ experiences with classical radiological signs and appearances correlated with their corresponding surgical ‘first look’ pictures from some of the rare and interesting cases the authors have encountered over the years. The present cases exhibit diverse presentations, clinical signs, radiological findings and diagnosis. The crucial role played by radiology in clinicians’ daily lives, particularly in accurately diagnosing rare conditions, underscores the need to report these diverse cases.
