Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common type of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, although it has many clinicopathological variants. Zosteriform MF is an extremely rare variant characterized by dermatomal distribution. To date, only six patients with zosteriform MF have been reported.

Materials And Methods: This study included 97 adult oncologic patients (51 males, 46 females; age range, 30-88 years; mean age, 63.7 years) in whom removal of a CV port implanted in the forearm was attempted at our hospital between January 2015 and May 2021.
Purpose: To evaluate the clinical outcome of ultraselective transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) with small-sized microcoils for acute lower gastrointestinal bleeding (LGIB).
Materials And Methods: The subjects were 17 consecutive patients (mean age, 69 years) with LGIB who were treated with ultraselective TAE using small-sized microcoils between December 2013 and December 2019. Ultraselective TAE was defined as embolization of one or both of the long or short branches of the vasa recta.
Purpose: To evaluate the accuracy of the virtual liver parenchymal perfusion area using a commercially available workstation and liver analysis software in conventional transarterial chemoembolization (cTACE) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Materials And Methods: This method was retrospectively applied to 29 treated HCCs in 23 patients. The virtual embolic area (VEA) was estimated based on cone beam computed tomography during hepatic arteriography using a commercially available workstation and liver analysis software by two observer groups (group A: experts; group B: semi-experts).
Purpose: To evaluate the utility and safety of drainage catheter installation for psoas/iliopsoas muscle abscesses using a one-step technique under the guidance of real-time computed tomography (CT) fluoroscopy.
Materials And Methods: Ten psoas or iliopsoas muscle abscesses in 7 patients that were treated with percutaneous drainage were included in this study. All drainage procedures were carried out using a one-step technique under real-time CT fluoroscopic guidance.
Objective: The preoperative evaluation of venous thromboembolism (VTE) is important to avoid complications, because VTE is often induced by orthopedic surgery. We focused on radioisotope venography (RIV) using 99mTc-macroaggregated human serum albumin, examining orthopedic patients.
Methods: We conducted 34 examinations in 33 patients who were referred for RIV and lung perfusion scintigraphy for the pre-orthopedic operative evaluation of VTE.
Objective: We report the findings of Thallium-201 chloride ((201)TlCl) scintigraphy and consider how to use this technique to evaluate the character of soft tissue lesions.
Patients And Methods: We enrolled 91 consecutive patients (45 males and 46 females, age range 8-91-years-old). Nineteen patients were malignant and 72 were benign.
We evaluated risk factors of radiation pneumonitis (RP) after whole breast irradiation following breast-conserving surgery. Four hundred and seventy-two cases underwent whole breast irradiation with tangential field following breast-conserving surgery in our hospital, between January 2005 and April 2007. Of these cases, we performed statistical analyses for 423 breasts of 413 patients, using a pulmonary dose-volume histogram.
