Myxofibrosarcoma is a type of soft tissue sarcoma, predominantly characterized by a high propensity for local recurrence, albeit demonstrating a relatively diminished risk for distant metastasis. Its prevalence is notably higher in elderly patients. Here, we present a case of a 73-year-old woman diagnosed with Myxofibrosarcoma.

Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD) is a rapidly-progressive dementing illness, the challenge of diagnosis during life. We presented a 78-year-old woman reported stupor, right facial palsy, and fluctuations in consciousness. Tc-ECD brain SPECT/CT with eZIS analysis revealed significant decreased regional cerebral blood flow mainly in specific regions of Alzheimer's disease as the published article reported with involving frontal region.

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a major cancer prevalent in Asian males. Pretreatment tumor burden can be prognostic for ESCC. We studied the prognostic value of metabolic parameters of 2-deoxy-2-[F] fluoro-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (F-FDG PET/CT) and the serum squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC-Ag) level in node-negative stage II ESCC patients.

We present a case of CAD with anteroseptal MI after stent insertion for revascularization due to symptoms presented. MPI with dynamic SPECT/CT provided useful information in terms of flow parameters and matched territories of stenting results as well as providing coronary artery flow phenomenon underwent PCI. In this case, dynamic SPECT/CT may minimize errors with proper stents treatment, especially for controversial MPI results.

A 51-year-old woman who had lung adenocarcinoma was found to have a high uptake area over the right femoral neck by means of bone scintigraphy, suggesting a suspicious bony metastasis. F-FDG PET/CT was arranged, and showed an FDG-avid lesion in the same region. However, after augmented CT, a well-defined ground-glass lesion with circular calcification was found, which is the favored benign lesion of fibrous dysplasia.

Rationale: Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES), which diagnosis is based on clinical symptoms and radiological features, is a neurotoxic disease characterized by a set of clinical manifestations, such as seizure, headache, visual, and/or consciousness disturbance. It is the first case of PRES followed by postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) without underlying disease.

Patient Concerns: A 37-year-old healthy woman had PPH after caesarean section.
