Incidental Detection of Neuroendocrine Carcinoma of Rectum During Staging Workup of Renal Cell Carcinoma.

Malignancies of rectum and kidneys are common pathologies in clinical practice; however, the incidence of these malignancies coexisting together is unclear. The main purpose of this article was to show the usefulness of computed tomography (CT) in diagnosing these rare synchronous tumors. We report a case of neuroendocrine carcinoma of the rectum in a 57-year-old male patient who came for staging workup of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) of the left kidney.

Back to Basics - 'Must Know' Classical Signs in Thoracic Radiology.

There are a few signs in radiology which are based on many common objects or patterns that we come across in our routine lives. The objective behind the association between such common objects and the corresponding pathologies is to make the reader understand and remember the disease process. These signs do not necessarily indicate a particular disease, but are usually suggestive of a group of similar pathologies which will facilitate in the narrowing down of the differential diagnosis.

Unilateral agenesis of internal carotid artery with intercavernous anastomosis: a rare case report.

Unilateral agenesis of internal carotid artery (ICA) with intercavernous anastomosis is a rare congenital anomaly. We present a case of a 25-year-old female with 2-month history of holocranial headache. Neurological examination was unremarkable.

A rare case of aneurysm of arc of riolan artery and gastroduodenal artery.

Arc of Riolan is a collateral channel that connects the proximal superior mesenteric artery (SMA) or its middle colic branch and the proximal inferior mesenteric artery or its left colic branch in case of stenosis of either of the arteries. A 65-year-old diabetic female presented with vague abdominal pain. Ultrasonography showed a large aneurysm within the abdomen in the left lumbar region.
