Breast Imaging: Correlation Between Axillary Lymph Nodes Apparent Diffusion Coefficient and Pathological Lymphovascular Invasion in Patients With Invasive Breast Cancer.

Objective: Together with local invasion, one of the important characteristics of cancer is its capacity to spread, resulting in metastases. Before cancer cells metastasize to a secondary site, they must first enter and spread through the blood and lymph vasculature, this is known as lymphovascular invasion (LVI). This LVI and, to a much lesser extent, perineural and neural invasion are one of the biologic prerequisites for systemic spread and metastases.

Impaired myocardial deformation and aortic distensibility by cardiac MRI in girls with Turner syndrome.

Girls and women with Turner syndrome (TS) suffer from increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. We hypothesized that left ventricular (LV) myocardial strain and aortic elasticity will be impaired in girls with TS. Cardiac MRI of 45 girls with TS and 14 healthy control girls was performed.

Texture analysis using non-contrast MRI to predict estrogen receptor status in breast cancer lesions: Is it feasible?

Purpose: We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of non-contrast-enhanced T1 sequence in texture analysis of breast cancer lesions to predict their estrogen receptor status.

Methods: The study included 85 pathologically proven breast cancer lesions in 53 patients. Immunohistochemical studies were performed to determine the estrogen receptor status (ER).

Metastatic colorectal carcinoma initially diagnosed by bone marrow biopsy: a case report and literature review.

Background: Colorectal carcinoma still represents a global health burden despite the advances in its management. The most common sites of distant metastasis from colorectal carcinoma are hepatic and pulmonary metastases while metastases are rarely reported to affect the bone marrow.

Case Presentation: We report a 33-year-old female patient who presented with fever of unknown origin, bone aches limited to the lower back and pelvis, and pancytopenia.

Gigantic submandibular pleomorphic adenoma: A rare case report.

Introduction: Pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is the most common benign salivary gland tumor. When neglected on some occasions, its size and weight can enormously augment.

Case Presentation: We report a case of a giant submandibular pleomorphic adenoma in a 75 years old female patient which measured 34 × 26 × 20 cm and weighed 8.
