Treatment of infantile fibrosarcoma associated to an abdominal aortic aneurysm with larotrectinib: a case report.

Infantile fibrosarcoma (IFS) is a rare pediatric tumor which often presents the gene fusion. encodes the neurotrophin-3 growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase, a druggable therapeutic target. Selective tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) inhibitors, such as larotrectinib, have shown efficacy and safety in the treatment of IFS.

Diagnosis and clinical behavior in patients with Lynch-like syndrome.

Introduction And Aims: Lynch-like syndrome is diagnosed when there is an expression deficit in DNA mismatch repair proteins but a normal genetic study. The behavior and management of that pathology are currently a subject of debate. We present herein the characteristics of patients with Lynch-like syndrome, together with a surveillance proposal.

Clinical and radiologic manifestations of congenital extrahepatic portosystemic shunts: a comprehensive review.

Congenital extrahepatic portosystemic shunt (CEPS) is a rare condition in which the portomesenteric blood drains into a systemic vein, bypassing the liver through a complete or partial shunt. Most often, the diagnosis is made primarily with Doppler ultrasonography. Computed tomographic angiography and magnetic resonance angiography are used for further classification of the shunt and assessment of accompanying anomalies.

[Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation with artificial ascites for hepatocellular carcinoma adjacent to the diaphragm].

Surgical resection is the first-line curative treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However most patients are unable to undergo surgical resection because of advanced tumoral stage, severe liver dysfunction or poor clinical status. Therefore, image-guided tumor ablation techniques have been introduced for the treatment of unresectable HCC.

Trapped on the "whirl": diagnostic sign on emergency CT.

The "whirl sign" is an uncommon finding on emergency CT. However, it is easy to overlook if not kept in mind. Its recognition is of capital importance, being most of its causes potentially lethal.
