Diagnostic and functional structure of a high-resolution thyroid nodule clinic.

Appearance of a thyroid nodule has become a daily occurrence in clinical practice. Adequate thyroid nodule assessment requires several diagnostic tests and multiple medical appointments, which results in a substantial delay in diagnosis. Implementation of a high-resolution thyroid nodule clinic largely avoids these drawbacks by condensing in a single appointment all tests required for adequate evaluation of thyroid nodule.

Adrenal cavernous hemangioma: is presurgical diagnosis with imaging test possible.

Objective: To describe a case of adrenal cavernous hemangioma in a 67 year old man who presented left lumbar pain.

Methods: Abdominal ultrasound, contrast enhanced ultrasound of the lesion, abdominal-pelvic CT scan, and then left adrenalectomy and pathology were performed

Results: Imaging studies showed a large solid-cystic mass with 12 × 11 cm diameters in the left adrenal gland, well defined, with calcifications, which showed peripheral arterial globular contrast enhancement on CT and ultrasound. The lesion displaced neighboring structures without other findings in the abdominopelvic study.
