Background: Indeterminate adrenal masses (AM) pose a diagnostic challenge, and 2-[F]FDG PET-CT serves as a problem-solving tool. Aim of this study was to investigate whether CT radiomics features could be used to predict the 2-[F]FDG SUVmax of AM.

Methods: Patients with AM on 2-[F]FDG PET-CT scan were grouped based on iodine contrast injection as CT contrast-enhanced (CE) or CT unenhanced (NCE).

Ultrasound (US), Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) combined with laboratory tests led to the diagnosis of a bleeding Parathyroid adenoma.

Enteric duplication cysts (EDCs) are rare congenital malformations of the children and can develop everywhere along the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, being the ileum the most frequent localization. We herein present an unusual case of duplication cyst of ileal origin who show a tubular morphology and doesn't communicate with GI lumen. A 2-month-old boy was admitted to our hospital for investigation of an anechoic formation of the lower right abdomen for the surgical planning.
