Multiparametric ultrasound findings in a patient with polyorchidism.

Polyorchidism is a rare condition usually incidentally discovered in young patients investigated with ultrasound for unrelated reasons. It is characterized by the presence of unilateral or, rarely, bilateral supernumerary testes which, depending on the type of polyorchidism, may have their own epididymis and vas deferens. Ultrasound, including B-mode and color Doppler technique, represents the primary imaging modality for the evaluation of scrotal diseases, including the characterization of supernumerary testes, which normally appear identical to the ipsilateral testicular parenchyma on every ultrasonographic technique performed.

Efficacy of colchicine in the treatment of mesenteric panniculitis in a young patient.

Mesenteric panniculitis (MP) is a rare inflammatory and fibrotic disease of the mesentery of unknown etiology. It has various clinical and radiological manifestations, posing a diagnostic challenge for clinicians. Its diagnosis is indicated via radiologic imaging and is usually confirmed via peritoneal biopsies.

CT and MRI of intraperitoneal splenosis.

Splenosis is a condition in which ectopic spleen tissue may be found in the peritoneal cavity or in other unusual locations due to heterotopic auto-transplantation and implantation of splenic tissue after splenic trauma or splenectomy. It is a benign condition that is often misdiagnosed as a tumor; therefore, knowledge of this condition is important when evaluating patients with a history of splenic trauma or splenectomy and newly appearing peritoneal lesions. Herein, we describe computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging findings of two cases of subdiaphragmatic intraperitoneal splenosis located along the hepatic surface, mimicking neoplastic lesions.

The natural history of Peyronie's disease: an ultrasonography-based study.

Objectives: To define ultrasonographic patterns reflecting different states of Peyronie's disease (PD) and to use them to evaluate the natural history of the disease.

Material And Methods: Diagnosis of PD was based on medical and sexual history, physical examination, intracavernosal injection test, and penile ultrasonography. Patients with penile fracture history were excluded from the study.
