FDG PET/CT in Carcinoma of the Tongue With Bilateral Adrenal Metastases.

Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common malignant neoplasm of the oral cavity, and it contributes approximately 90% of all oral malignancies. We present a case of a squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue with rare site of bilateral adrenal metastases on F-FDG PET/CT with response evaluation after chemotherapy.

Anaplastic transformation of metastatic papillary thyroid carcinoma at shoulder mimicking soft tissue sarcoma.

A 52-year-old woman presented with fracture upper end of the left humerus after trivial trauma and aspiration cytology from the lytic lesion in the upper humerus seen on X-ray revealed a metastatic papillary carcinoma from the thyroid. Total thyroidectomy confirmed the papillary carcinoma thyroid. Post-operatively, she was given radioactive iodine (I-131) ablation therapy for 8 years and was asymptomatic during this period; however, for the last 1 year, she has been complaining of swelling in the shoulder, which did not respond to palliative radiotherapy and rapidly increased in size.

Long term outcome of management of antenatally diagnosed pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction.

Objective: To evaluate the outcome of children with antenatally detected unilateral pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction (PUJO).

Methods: Children with antenatally diagnosed hydronephrosis, postnatally, unequivocally proven to be due to PUJO, with a normal contralateral kidney were evaluated. Children with atleast 2 y of follow-up were included in the study.

Changes in cerebral perfusion hormone profile and cerebrospinal fluid flow across the third ventriculostomy after endoscopic third ventriculostomy in patients with aqueductal stenosis: a prospective study. Clinical article.

Object: The object of the present study was 3-fold: 1) to study regional cerebral perfusion before and after endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) in patients with obstructive hydrocephalus by using (99m)Tc ethyl cysteinate dimer SPECT: 2) to study any correlation between clinically successful third ventriculostomy and CSF flow across the third ventriculostomy; and 3) to determine any changes in hormone profile following ETV.

Methods: The authors prospectively studied 15 patients with aqueductal stenosis who underwent ETV during the last 2 years. All the patients underwent pre- and postoperative MR imaging, brain (99m)Tc ethyl cysteinate dimer SPECT, and hormone profile studies.
