Pneumonectomy case in a newborn with congenital pulmonary lymphangiectasia.

Congenital pulmonary lymphangiectasia (CPL) is a rare lymphatic pulmonary abnormality. CPL with respiratory distress has a poor prognosis, and is frequently fatal in neonates. We report a case of pneumonectomy for CPL in a newborn.

Breast and scrotal sparganosis: sonographic findings and pathologic correlation.

Objective: Sparganosis is caused by the tapeworm larva of the geneus Spirometra. Because sparganosis usually manifests as a migrating subcutaneous mass, sonography can play an important role in its diagnosis.

Methods: In this series, we investigated 4 cases of subcutaneous sparganosis and focused on the sonographic findings.

Small Cell Carcinoma of the Gallbladder: (18)F-FDG PET/CT Imaging Features-A Case Report.

The diagnostic role of (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose ((18)F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) for gallbladder small cell carcinoma has not been reported. A knowledge of the imaging characteristic features of this malignancy can be useful. Here we report a rare case of a patient who had various diagnostic imaging modalities, including (18)F-FDG PET/CT.

Image presentation. The nipple-areolar complex: a pictorial review of common and uncommon conditions.

Objective: The purpose of this presentation is to show the radiologic findings of normal variants and benign and malignant diseases that affect the nipple-areolar complex.

Methods: We evaluated the imaging findings of nipple-areolar complex lesions, using multiple breast imaging modalities including mammography, sonography, galactography, contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography/computed tomography.

Results: Radiologic features of nipple-areolar complex lesions, including Montgomery tubercles, nipple inversion, benign calcifications, inflammation, duct dilatations, intraductal papillomas, fibroadenomas, neurofibromatosis, dermatosis of the nipple, and breast malignancy, have been illustrated.

Fibrosarcomatous transformation in dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans of the breast--a case report.

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare cutaneous malignant tumor that usually occurs in the trunk, extremities, head, and neck but very rarely in the breast. Fibrosarcomatous transformation of DFSP is even rarer, with a higher risk of distant metastasis and poorer prognosis than DFSP. We report a case of such transformation in a DFSP in the breast.

Fibrosing inflammatory pseudotumor of the nasopharynx: MR features and histopathologic correlation.

Purpose: To describe the magnetic resonance (MR) imaging features of six cases of pathologically proven fibrosing inflammatory pseudotumor involving the nasopharynx, and to compare the MR signal intensities of the lesions with histopathologic findings.

Methods: We reviewed the MR finding of six patients with pathologically proved fibrosing inflammatory pseudotumor at the nasopharyngeal wall with respect to the following points: extent, margins, signal intensity and enhancement degree of the lesion; cervical lymphadenopathy and response to steroid therapy. MR findings were correlated with histopathologic findings.

[A case of gastric metastasis from small cell lung carcinoma].

Gastric metastasis of lung carcinoma is a rare entity which is detected mostly at autopsy. Patients diagnosed as having those on lifetime are extremely rare. In addition to our case, 54 cases of lung carcinoma metastasis to the gastro-intestinal tract have been reported in the literature since 1961.
