Postmenopausal Endometriosis: Clinical Insights and Imaging Considerations.

Endometriosis is a chronic systemic condition characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrial-like tissue outside of the uterus. It occurs most often in reproductive-aged patients and less frequently in postmenopausal women. In postmenopausal patients, endometriosis is more common in those undergoing hormone replacement therapy or taking tamoxifen.

Efficacy of MRI-Directed Breast Ultrasound and Lesion Characteristics Affecting Visualization on Breast Ultrasound.

Objective: To assess the efficacy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-directed ultrasound (US) in further characterizing lesions detected on MRI and to evaluate the correlation between lesion characteristics and their visibility on US.

Methods: A retrospective review was performed of the records of patients with breast abnormalities detected on MRI between May 2018 and December 2020. All patients who were given a Breast Imaging-Reported and Data System Assessment Category 4 or 5 on breast MRI and sent to breast US for assessment of the MRI abnormality were included.

Bladder hemangioma: An arduous diagnosis of hematuria.

Urinary bladder hemangiomas are a rare cause of gross hematuria in young patients. Multimodality imaging with ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging help define the site and extent of hemangioma. We describe a case of an otherwise healthy 9-year-old male presenting with recurrent gross hematuria.

Review of Nonmammary Metastases to the Breast: Imaging and Clinical Presentation.

Objectives: The purpose of our study is to review the imaging findings of breast metastases from nonmammary sources at our institution and to explore the mode of initial detection of these breast metastases.

Methods: In this study, we reviewed our electronic medical record and our breast imaging database for all patients who presented with nonmammary metastases to breasts between 5/1/2009 and 12/1/2019. We reviewed all available imaging data, clinical notes, and pathology reports.

Sporadic Hemangioblastoma of the Cavernous Sinus and Meckel's Cave.

 To describe an extremely rare case of sporadic hemangioblastoma (HB) within the cavernous sinus and Meckel's cave with extension to the cerebellopontine angle (CPA) cistern.  A 73-year-old male presented with hearing loss, unilateral ptosis, and facial numbness.  The imaging showed a complex cystic-solid mass centered at the left cavernous sinus and Meckel's cave with extension to the CPA cistern.

Pancreaticopleural Fistula: A Review of Imaging Diagnosis and Early Endoscopic Intervention.

A 49-year-old male with history of chronic alcohol-induced pancreatitis presented with one month of worsening left pleuritic chest pain and shortness of breath. Chest radiograph demonstrated bilateral pleural effusions. Thoracentesis revealed increased amylase in the pleural fluid.
