Pulmonary artery twisting during lung transplantation.

To the radiologist, complications of lung transplant are believed to occur along a time continuum, which is key given the nonspecific clinical and imaging findings. Pulmonary artery twisting in the immediate and early postoperative period is a known complication of transplantation, but receives relatively little attention. Early recognition is paramount due to the high morbidity and mortality of such a complication.

Inflammatory breast carcinoma.

Inflammatory breast carcinoma is a rare form of invasive breast cancer often characterized by erythema, warmth, and a classic "peau de orange" or "orange peel" appearance of the affected breast. The average age of onset is within the fourth and fifth decades. Lesions are usually detected and evaluated with mammography, sonography, and recently, breast magnetic resonance imaging.

Carcinoma of the breast in men.

Male breast cancer is an uncommon disease of uncertain etiology. We describe a 66-year-old man who presented with a palpable mass in the left breast with associated nipple inversion. Mammographic images demonstrated a spiculated mass within the subareolar left breast at the palpable area of concern.

Invasive lobular carcinoma of the breast: mammographic characteristics and computer-aided detection.

Purpose: To characterize the mammographic appearance of invasive lobular carcinoma in a large series of screening-detected consecutive breast cancers and to evaluate the ability of a computer-aided detection system to mark these carcinomas.

Materials And Methods: Investigators used the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System lexicon to characterize lesions as part of a retrospective review of 90 screening mammographic examinations that led to biopsy-proved diagnosis of 94 invasive lobular carcinoma lesions. The 40 available prior mammographic examinations (obtained 9-24 months earlier) were also reviewed to characterize any visible findings.
