Xanthogranulomatous Oophoritis Presenting as an Adnexal Mass and Bowel Obstruction. A Case Report.

Background: Xanthogranulomatous inflammation of the female genital tract is a rare entity. When the gynecological organs are affected, it is particularly unusual for xanthogranulomataus inflammation to involve only the ovary.

Case: A 45-year-old woman with an intrauterine device, long-term exposure to nicotine, and hyperlipidemia presented with an adnexal mass and bowel obstruction.

Posterosuperior glenoid internal impingement of the shoulder in the overhead athlete: pathogenesis, clinical features and MR imaging findings.

Posterosuperior glenoid internal impingement (PGII) is an impingement syndrome of the shoulder that is most commonly seen in the throwing or overhead athlete. The supraspinatus can be normally compressed or impinged between the greater tuberosity and the posterosuperior labrum in the abduction and external rotation position. However, repetitive throwing and biomechanical abnormalities may lead to the intensification of this contact and to the clinical and pathological picture of PGII.

Gastroduodenal ulcers on CT: forgotten, but not gone.

Objective: To estimate the incidence of missed gastroduodenal ulcers on routine abdominal computed tomography (CT) and identify findings and methods to improve sensitivity of CT interpretation for peptic ulcers.

Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective chart and imaging review. Two blinded readers independently reviewed CTs performed within 7 days prior to endoscopy of 114 subjects; this included 57 consecutive subjects with proven gastroduodenal ulcers intermixed with 57 subjects with endoscopically normal examinations.

Characterizing solid renal neoplasms with MRI in adults.

Until recently, most solid renal neoplasms without macroscopic fat were presumed to represent renal cell carcinoma and were indiscriminately treated with nephrectomy. Expanding surgical options and ablative technologies, a growing acceptance of renal mass biopsy, the advent of targeted molecular agents, and advances in our understanding of tumor biology have challenged the wisdom of this approach and are ushering in a potential new era in which therapy is linked to histologic subtype and cytogenetics. This approach mandates evolution of our diagnostic algorithm beyond the distinction between solid and cystic and enhancing and nonenhancing.
