Intraductal Papilloma With Carcinoma of the Breast Described by Dedicated Breast 18F-FDG PET.

Intraductal papilloma (IDP) is a benign tumor of the breast. However, IDP has been reported to show high uptake of 18F-FDG using whole-body PET. We experienced IDP with low-grade ductal carcinoma in situ using dedicated breast PET, which is more sensitive than whole-body PET.

Insulin-derived amyloidosis without a palpable mass at the insulin injection site: A report of two cases.

To date, almost all case reports of insulin-derived amyloidosis described the presence of a subcutaneous mass that was observable on physical examination. This report presents two cases of insulin-derived amyloidosis without palpable masses at insulin injection sites. In both cases, blood glucose concentrations improved, and the insulin dose could be reduced by an average of 45% after changing the insulin injection sites.

Toxicity of insulin-derived amyloidosis: a case report.

Background: Insulin-derived amyloidosis is a skin-related complication of insulin therapy that interferes with insulin therapy. Although toxicities of in vitro-formed insulin amyloid fibrils have been well studied, the toxicity of insulin-derived amyloidosis remains to be clarified.

Case Presentation: A 58-year-old man with type 2 diabetes mellitus underwent a lower limb amputation due to diabetic gangrene.

Unenhanced areas revealed by contrast-enhanced abdominal ultrasonography with Sonazoid™ potentially correspond to colorectal cancer.

The present study investigated the potential utility of contrast-enhanced abdominal ultrasonography (CEUS), using Sonazoid™, in colorectal cancer (CRC). Three patients were subjected to CEUS with Sonazoid™. Surgical specimens were immunostained for CD31.
