Meningioma metastatic to thyroid gland.

Objective: To describe the first reported case of meningioma metastasizing to and completely infiltrating the thyroid gland.

Methods: We present a detailed case report, including radiographic, histologic, and immunostaining findings, in a patient with an atypical meningioma who had a progressively enlarging thyroid mass that proved to be a metastatic meningioma.

Results: A 49-year-old man had a meningioma in the parieto-occipital region that had spread locally to the scalp and bone by the time of surgical resection.

Malignant priapism associated with metastatic urethral carcinoma.

We present a 40-year-old man with malignant priapism secondary to urethral squamous cell carcinoma. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed the tumor originating from the bulbous urethra, extending into the penile urethra and corpora spongiosa and cavernosa. A penile biopsy confirmed poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma of the urethra.

Traumatic ileocolic pseudoaneurysm: diagnosis and transcatheter treatment.

Injuries to branches of the superior mesenteric artery are unusual and often difficult to diagnose, yet require prompt recognition and treatment to prevent exsanguinating hemorrhage or bowel ischemia. This report describes a unique case of an ileocolic artery pseudoaneurysm diagnosed using delayed CT imaging and definitively treated by transcatheter embolization. Cathet.

Female pelvis: impact of MR imaging on treatment decisions and net cost analysis.

Purpose: To determine the impact of gynecologic magnetic resonance (MR) imaging on treatment decisions and net cost.

Materials And Methods: Sixty-nine consecutive women were referred for 70 pelvic MR imaging examinations. Diagnosis and treatment plans were obtained from referring physicians before and immediately after they were given verbal reports of MR imaging results.

Submucosal uterine leiomyomas: diagnosis of prolapse into the cervix and vagina based on MR imaging.

Objective: We describe the MR appearance, signs and symptoms, and pathologic findings in five patients with submucosal leiomyomas that prolapsed into the cervical or vaginal canal.

Subjects And Methods: During the past 3 years, five women aged 33-53 years (mean, 43 years) were identified prospectively at MR imaging as having prolapsing uterine leiomyomas. The diagnosis was confirmed by surgical pathology.
