A comprehensive radiologic review of abdominal and pelvic torsions.

The clinical manifestations of abdominal and pelvic organ torsion can often be non-specific and can affect a wide range of ages and demographic groups. Radiologists have a key role in not only establishing the diagnosis of organ torsion, but also in the assessment of potential complications. As multiple imaging modalities may be utilized in the evaluation of abdominal and pelvic pain, recognizing the various appearances of organ torsion is important to ensure early diagnosis and thereby reducing patient morbidity and mortality, particularly since abdominal and pelvic organ torsion may not be clinically suspected at the time of initial patient presentation.

Imaging findings of a torsed pedunculated uterine leiomyoma: A case report.

Torsion of a pedunculated uterine leiomyoma is an incredibly rare occurrence, considered a surgical emergency due to the risk of ischemic gangrene and resulting reactive peritonitis. Imaging modalities have traditionally played a limited role in evaluation of leiomyoma torsion due to modest sensitivity and specificity. We present the case of a 58-year old female with a known pedunculated fibroid who presented with acute abdominal pain.

Lung cancer metastasis to the breast mimicking inflammatory breast carcinoma on imaging.

While metastatic disease to the breast has been documented from many primary neoplasms with incidence ranging from 0.2% to approximately 2.7% among reported clinical cases, breast cancer metastases resulting from a primary lung neoplasm is significantly less commonly reported in the literature.

Multifocal epithelioid hemangioma of the metacarpal bones: A case report.

Epithelioid hemangioma of bone is a rare, locally aggressive but benign vascular tumor that is now recognized as a distinct entity from other vascular neoplasms. It is often difficult to distinguish on imaging studies from other vascular tumors, including epithelioid hemangioendothelioma, which can lead to misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment. We present the characteristic features and multimodality imaging findings in the case of a 24-year-old female with multifocal epithelioid hemangioma of the first and second metacarpal bones with extension into the surrounding soft tissue.

More Than Just 2 Layers: A Comprehensive Multimodality Imaging Review of Endometrial Abnormalities.

Endometrial abnormalities develop in female patients of all ages. Symptoms related to endometrial pathologies are among the most common causes of gynecologist office visits, with the radiologists playing an important role in endometrial evaluation. In some instances, the radiologist may be the first physician to note endometrial pathology.

Perforated small bowel GIST in an immunocompromised male.

Gastrointestinal (GI) stromal tumor is a relatively rare tumor of the GI tract, with estimated prevalence of 2%, which arises from the interstitial cells of Cajal. Common presentations range from asymptomatic to abdominal pain, bloating, GI bleeding, and anemia. Less-common signs include obstruction and peritonitis.
