Evaluation of Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Correlation with Radical Prostatectomy Histopathology Specimen in Prostate Cancer.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has shown a great potential in the evaluation and management of prostate cancer. In this study, we would like to evaluate the benefit of multiparametric MRI in the detection and localization of prostate cancer by comparing it with the gold standard of histopathology from radical prostatectomy. In this single-centre prospective study, 90 consecutive patients underwent radical prostatectomy from November 2016 to May 2018.

Congenital Thymic Cyst: Antenatal Diagnosis and Postnatal Management.

Thymic cyst is regarded as a rare anomaly, accounting for about 3% of all anterior mediastinal masses. It can be either congenital or acquired. Congenital thymic cysts are usually asymptomatic, with about 50% found incidentally in childhood or adolescence.

Core Biopsy Diagnosis of ALK Positive Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor of Lung: An Interesting Case.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) of lung is a rare tumor, accounting for ~0.7% of all lung tumors with varied clinical and radiological presentations. The origin of this tumor is unknown but some studies suggest that it might be a true neoplasm as some mutations on chromosome 2p23 of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) have been found to be related to this tumor.

Schmorl's Node: Confusion Still Persists in 68Ga-Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen Ligand PET/CT.

Ga-prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) ligand PET/CT is commonly believed to be prostate specific as the name itself suggests. However, PSMA-expressing nonprostatic cancers as well as benign lesions are continuously being added to the list. We reported PSMA-expressing Schmorl's node in L1 vertebra of a 74-year-old man with prostate cancer.

Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging-transrectal ultrasound fusion prostate biopsy: A prospective, single centre study.

Introduction: Transrectal rectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided systematic biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosis of prostate cancer. However, systematic biopsy has high false-negative rate and often misses anteriorly located tumors. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-TRUS fusion biopsy can potentially improve cancer detection by better visualization and targeting of cancer focus.

Pentalogy of Cantrell associated with exencephaly and spinal dysraphism: antenatal ultrasonographic diagnosis. Case report.

The pentalogy of Cantrell, a rare syndrome, consists of the defects in the anterior diaphragm, diaphragmatic pericardium, lower sternum and supraumbilical abdominal wall, along with congenital cardiac abnormalities. Till date, only few patients with full spectrum of this syndrome have been reported with only 2 cases showing associated exencephaly and spinal dysraphism. We report extremely rare association of complete pentalogy of Cantrell syndrome with exencephaly and spinal dysraphism on antenatal sonogram and autopsy in a 18 weeks fetus of a 19 year-old primi gravida female.

Accuracy of 64-slice CT coronary angiography: our initial experience.

Objective: The objective of our study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of 64-slice computed tomography coronary angiography to detect haemodynamically significant stenosis (>50% luminal narrowing) in comparison to invasive coronary angiography and further analyze the result accounting for heart rate, coronary calcification and location of lesion in the coronary tree.

Methods And Results: Forty patients (39 male, 1 female; mean age 50.9 years) underwent both CT coronary angiography and invasive coronary angiography with in a gap of one day.
