Variable MR findings in ovarian functional hemorrhagic cysts.

Purpose: To describe the magnetic resonance (MR) findings in ovarian functional hemorrhagic cysts (FHC).

Materials And Methods: A total of 21 patients with 22 FHC, proven by follow-up ultrasound (US) in 11 women and surgery in 10 women, had US and MR examinations within 24 hours. The study was limited to cysts with obvious an echogenic pattern.

[Paratesticular fibrous pseudotumours].

Paratesticular fibrous pseudotumours are a rare form of benign tumour with a slow course and a difficult preoperative diagnosis. The objective of treatment is to ensure optimal testis conservation, which is possible when the diagnosis is made on intraoperative frozen section examination. The authors report a case of diffuse fibrous pseudotumour in a 23-year-old man.

Extraovarian cystadenomas: ultrasound and MR findings in 7 cases.

Objective: To describe the ultrasound and MR appearance of paraovarian cystadenomas.

Methods: We reviewed retrospectively the radiologic findings in 7 patients with surgically proven paraovarian cystic neoplasms, including 6 serous cystadenomas and 1 borderline seromucinous cystadenoma. All had ultrasound and 4 had MR preoperatively.

[Role of endoscopic gastric biopsies in the management of gastritis. A study of 250 consecutive cases].

Background: The practical role of gastric biopsy in the management of gastritis is controversial.

Aim: To estimate the yield of endoscopic biopsies in the clinical, endoscopic and pathologic approach of gastritis.

Material And Methods: Prospective study of 250 consecutive patients who underwent an upper G.
