Rationale: Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) often occurs in the major and minor salivary glands and other sites containing secretory glands, while ACC of the Bartholin's gland (BG-ACC) in the vulva is rare and easily misdiagnosed.
Patient Concerns: A 58-year-old female was referred to our hospital for further valuation of a mass occurring on the left side of her vulva. In the other hospital, the beginning of the period, local ultrasound showed a vulva mass, which was suspected to be a Bartholin's gland cyst.
Purpose: To assess contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CE-CT) features for predicting malignant potential and Ki67 in small intestinal gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) and the correlation between them.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the pathological and imaging data for 123 patients (55 male/68 female, mean age: 57.2 years) with a histopathological diagnosis of small intestine GISTs who received CE-CT followed by curative surgery from May 2009 to August 2019.
Most adrenal masses are adenomas which contain a large amount of intracytoplasmic lipid and have lower attenuation values on unenhanced computed tomography (CT) examinations. Mean atrioventricular and CT histogram analysis is commonly used for the diagnosis of adenomas; however, the former disregards tissue heterogeneities of the mass and diagnostic efficiency is decreased, and the latter demands specific post-processing workstation for analyzing the data. The purpose of our study is to develop a simple and sensitive method for the diagnosis of adenomas on unenhanced CT.

Methods: Thirty rabbits were randomly divided into experimental Group A (n=15) and control Group B (n=15). The 7.
