Malignant behavior of a well‑differentiated digestive neuroendocrine tumor with peritoneal carcinomatosis: A case report.

Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are a heterogenous group of tumors, arising from enterochromaffin cells, with different biological and clinical characteristics. Well-differentiated Grade 1 (G1) small intestinal NENs are often characterized by a slow progression rate and a good prognosis. Peritoneal carcinomatosis of a G1 digestive NEN is not a very common finding, and thus there is little published evidence regarding its progression and management.

Evaluation of Virtual Grid Processed Clinical Chest Radiographs.

Objectives: We evaluated the different Virtual Grid software ratios (Fujifilm, Tokyo, Japan) on gridless clinical chest radiographs with visual grading analysis (VGA). In addition, we investigated the 2 image quality assessment algorithms (IQAAs).

Materials And Methods: Gridless chest radiographs of 50 different intensive care unit patients were collected and afterward processed with Virtual Grid software.

Unusual Presentation of Pulmonary Hydatidosis Mimicking Thoracic Malignancy in a Paediatric South African Patient.

In this case report, an illustrative case of pulmonary hydatidosis in a young South African girl is presented. The acute symptomatology, rapidly worsening clinical condition and the extremely atypical appearance of the hydatid cysts on imaging were initially misleading and raised suspicion for malignant disease.
