Abernethy malformation: beware in cases of unexplained hepatic encephalopathy in adults-case report and review of the relevant literature.

The Abernethy malformation consists of a congenital extrahepatic portosystemic shunt and is believed to be extremely rare in humans. The potential implications of abnormal portovenous shunting and decreased hepatic portal flow are numerous and potentially serious. Although congenital extrahepatic portosystemic shunts are increasingly suspected and diagnosed in specialized centres, much of their clinical presentation and natural history is not fully understood.

Tubular Carcinoma of the Breast: Advantages and Limitations of Breast Tomosynthesis.

Tubular carcinoma of the breast is a rare variant of invasive ductal carcinoma. We report a case of 42-year-old asymptomatic female with a histopathological proven multifocal tubular carcinoma, studied by mammography, Tomosynthesis, Ultrasound, and Magnetic Resonance. Herein, we discuss the advantages and limitations of Tomosynthesis, an emerging imaging technique, in this particular case.

Adult pancreatoblastoma - Case report and review of literature.

Most cases of pancreatoblastoma, a rare malignant epithelial tumor of the pancreas, are seen in the pediatric population. The rarity of pancreatoblastoma, the similar radiologic findings to those seen in other pancreatic lesions, and its histopathologic heterogeneity, make its preoperative diagnosis in adults a real challenge. We report ultrasound, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging correlative findings of a histologically proven pancreatoblastoma in a 37-year-old woman.

Simple and complex fibroadenomas: are there any distinguishing sonographic features?

Objectives: Complex fibroadenomas are fibroadenomas harboring 1 or more complex pathologic features: epithelial calcifications, apocrine metaplasia, sclerosing adenosis, and cysts larger than 3 mm. No sonographic features have been clearly defined for the distinction of simple fibroadenomas from complex ones, which are associated with an increased cancer risk. We aimed to evaluate the accuracy of sonographic features for the prediction of complexity in fibroadenomas.
