The intercondylar notch (ICN) is an important element of knee morphometry, in close relation to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). To find the average are of the anterior notch in each ICN specific shape (A-, W-, or U-shape). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans were independently analyzed by two experts, one orthopedic surgeon and one imaging physician.

Background: The intercondylar notch (ICN) and the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) are important structures in knee morphometry, with key roles in stabilizing the knee.

Aim: To determine the associations between the specific shape of the ICN (A-, W-, or U-shape) and the ACL size in patients with intact ACLs.

Methods: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans were independently analyzed by two experts: one orthopedic surgeon and one imaging physician.

Background: Inflammatory pseudotumor-like follicular dendritic cell sarcoma is a rare histological variant of follicular dendritic cell sarcoma involving typically the spleen and the liver, often linked to the presence of Epstein-Barr virus infection. Definite diagnosis of this type of sarcoma is difficult to make owing to nonspecific clinical and imaging findings and is based on histopathological features. Inflammatory pseudotumor-like follicular dendritic cell sarcoma is described as a low-aggressivity tumor with a favorable prognosis.

Extramarginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) is a non-Hodgkin lymphoma of low-grade malignancy. The most common localization is the stomach, and the common nongastric sites are salivary glands, the skin, orbits, the conjunctiva, the lung, breasts, upper airways, other gastrointestinal sites, and the liver. Primary hepatic MALT lymphoma is a rare disease and the diagnostic can be challenging.
