Extrapelvic Endometriosis Mimicking Peritoneal Surface Malignancy: Case Report and a Review of Literature.

Extrapelvic endometriosis is a rare presentation of endometriosis with atypical clinical symptoms. It can mimic peritoneal surface malignancy, as well as some abdominal infectious diseases. A 29-year-old Moroccan woman presented with abdominal pain, progressive abdominal distention, and an intermittent inflammatory syndrome.

Breast implant associated EBV-positive Diffuse Large B-cell lymphoma: an underrecognized entity?

Breast-implant associated (BIA) lymphoma is an infrequent type of cancer occurring in the fluid and fibrous capsule around a textured breast implant. Recently, both the 2022 WHO 5th edition classification of Haematological tumours (WHO HAEM5) and 2022 International Consensus Classification of Mature Lymphoid Neoplasms (22ICC), recognized breast implant-associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) as a definitive entity, defined as a mature CD30-positive T-cell lymphoma, confined by a fibrous capsule, in a breast implant setting. Only few B-cell lymphomas have been reported in the literature to be associated with breast implants.

Diagnostic accuracy of a fast MRI T2-sequence for the diagnosis of internal herniation after Roux-and-Y gastric bypass during pregnancy: A retrospective single center study.

Purpose: The objective of this retrospective study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of a fast sequence Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) sequence, T2- half-Fourier acquisition single-shot turbo spin echo (HASTE) for the diagnosis of internal herniation (IH) in pregnant patients with a history of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB).

Methods: Abdominal MRI studies, performed for the clinical suspicion of IH of pregnant patients with a history of RYGB, were analyzed by two abdominal radiologists. Thirty-one cases were included and for each case both readers independently evaluated the T2 HASTE sequence in different planes (axial, coronal and sagittal) to determine the presence or absence of IH.

Management and outcome of heterotopic interstitial pregnancy: Case report and review of literature.

Objective: To report a case of heterotopic interstitial pregnancy after in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET), presenting with a second trimester uterine rupture. To review the clinical presentations, risk factors, treatment options, and outcome of heterotopic interstitial pregnancies.

Methods: We describe the clinical presentation, management, and outcome of a patient with a heterotopic interstitial pregnancy, diagnosed following second trimester rupture of the interstitial pregnancy.

Junctional zone thickness in young nulliparous women according to menstrual cycle and hormonal contraception use.

This prospective study aims to determine the optimal menstrual phase and uterine location to detect the thickest junctional zone by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Healthy nulliparous women were subdivided according to their use of hormonal contraception. Each women was investigated three times during their menstrual cycle.

Uterine junctional zone thickness in infertile women evaluated by MRI.

Purpose: To prospectively evaluate and compare the junctional zone (JZ) and outer myometrial thickness in infertile and healthy nulliparous women at different locations in the uterine wall during the menstrual cycle by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Materials And Methods: We performed pelvic 1.5T MRI (T -weighted turbo spin echo sequences) on 28 infertile women: 5 with infertility of unknown origin, 12 anovulating, and 11 on ovarian stimulation therapy (mean age 28.

Incarceration of the gravid uterus: diagnosis and preoperative evaluation by magnetic resonance imaging.

Incarceration of the gravid uterus is a rare obstetric disorder that is often not recognized despite the ready availability of ultrasound. However, detailed imaging of the disturbed uterine and pelvic anatomy - from an obstetric point of view- is the key in reducing the potentially severe complications of this condition and planning its treatment. In this paper, we will describe the specific magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of an incarceration of the gravid uterus and we will discuss the role of magnetic resonance imaging in defining anatomy and in the medical decision whether to operate or not.

Magnetic resonance imaging: value of diffusion-weighted imaging in differentiating benign from malignant breast lesions.

Objectives: Although magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has a high sensitivity in the detection of tumours, there is still much discussion about its role in breast cancer detection. MRI is not yet routinely used to further characterize lesions in patients diagnosed with breast cancer. This study investigated the impact of preoperative MRI on the surgical treatment of women with biopsy proven breast cancer.

MRI features of ovarian fibroma and fibrothecoma with histopathologic correlation.

Objective: The purpose of this article is to evaluate MRI features of ovarian fibroma and fibrothecoma with histopathologic correlation.

Materials And Methods: In this retrospective study, preoperative MRI examinations of 35 women (mean age, 49 years; range, 24-86 years) with pathologically proven ovarian fibroma (n = 25) or fibrothecoma (n = 10) were reviewed by two radiologists in consensus. MRI features, including visibility of ovaries, presence of capsule, degeneration, T1 and T2 signal, and enhancement pattern, were recorded and correlated with histopathologic features.

Peroneal neuropathy after weight loss: a high-resolution ultrasonographic characterization of the common peroneal nerve.

Objective: The objective of this study was to use in vivo ultrasonographic imaging to analyze the common peroneal nerve in controls and patients who were diagnosed with peroneal neuropathy (PN) due to significant weight loss. We also looked for a relationship between weight loss (magnitude) and the occurrence of PN.

Materials And Methods: Fifty controls and six patients who were diagnosed with PN after losing a significant amount of weight were examined by means of ultrasonography (US).

Recurrent incarceration and/or sacculation of the gravid uterus: a review.

Retroverted uterine incarceration with sacculation of the anterior wall is reported to occur approximately in 1/3000 pregnancies. A literature search identified only one case report of incarceration of an anteflexed gravid uterus and six reported cases of recurrent incarceration and/or sacculation. We present a case of an incarceration of an anteflexed uterus in the first pregnancy, followed by a retroflexed incarceration in the second pregnancy.
