Left ventricular diverticulum: incidental finding on dual source cardiac CT.

The purpose of this retrospective study is to describe the prevalence, size and location of left ventricular (LV) diverticulum-diverticuli on cardiac dual source CT. Dual source computed tomography cardiac angiography (DS CTCA) was performed in 482 patients. Where literature states their rare occurrence, this retrospective study demonstrates the fairly common finding of incidental LV diverticulum on DS CTCA examinations.

Chondrosarcoma of the hyoid bone.

The CT and MRI findings in a case of chondrosarcoma of the hyoid bone are reported. Although chondrosarcoma is the second most common primary malignant bone tumor, only 10 % of chondrosarcomas occur in the head and neck region. The hyoid bone is a rare site of involvement with only seven cases reported previously.

Adrenal cortical carcinoma: a case report.
