Magnetic resonance imaging features of multiple duodenal lipomas: a rare cause of intestinal obstruction.

A 65-year-old man was evaluated because of vomiting and epigastric pain. The patient underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and endoscopic ultrasound examination and was found to have multiple polypoid lesions in the D1 and D2 portions of the duodenum, causing almost complete obstruction of the duodenal lumen. The lesions were hyperintense on T1-weighted and intermediately intense on T2-weighted images, with a drop in signal on T1- and T2-weighted fat-suppressed images, consistent with a diagnosis of duodenal lipomas.

Intraventricular textiloma with granuloma formation following third ventricle colloid cyst resection - a case report.

Despite precautions, cotton and gauze pads used for dissection or to achieve haemostasis during neurosurgical procedures can inadvertently be left behind and result in clinically symptomatic or asymptomatic and radiologically apparent mass lesion, sometimes referred to as "textilomas" or "gossypibomas", often mimicking recurrent tumour or abscess on neuroimaging studies. We report the neuroimaging evaluation, including computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and spectroscopy (H1-MRS), in a case of textiloma developing after the treatment of a third ventricle colloid cyst.

[Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography: diagnostic significance in malignant diseases of bile and pancreatic ducts].

Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MR CP) is a relatively new, noninvasive method in patients with pancreaticobiliary diseases, which is comparable to invasive endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). One of the most common indications for MRCP is malignant obstruction of the bile and pancreatic ducts. Standard imaging protocol includes routine abdominal study followed by a sequence for MRCP adapted to each of the patients and site of the malignant process.

[Diagnostic value of diffusion weighted imaging in assessment of malignant focal liver lesions].

Introduction: The study was designed to determine if there was a difference between apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values using diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) MRI technique between different malignant focal liver lesions.

Patients And Methods: The study included 63 patients with focal hepatic lesions: fourteen patients (22.2%) with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), 16 patients (25.

Triple-way therapeutic approach for paraganglioma-dependent erythrocytosis: drugs and surgery plus "multi-manner" apheresis.

Paragangliomas are tumors arising from the extra-adrenal paragangliar neural crest cells. The sympathoadrenal neuroendocrine system consists of extra-adrenal paragangliar cellular layer along the paravertebral and para-aortic axis, and the adrenal medullae. Paraganglioma should be included in the differential diagnosis of secondary erythrocytosis due to its possible ectopic erythropoietin (EPO) secretion.
