Fibromatosis and/or desmoid tumors which constitute less than 1% of all neoplasms and 3.0% of all soft-tissue tumors are pathologically benign proliferations of the fibroblasts but are locally aggressive with infiltrative type of growth and tendency toward recurrence. Bilateral symmetrical perirenal involvement has been described in many conditions which can be renal, subcapsular, or perirenal in origin.

Article Synopsis
  • - Primary testicular lymphoma (PTL) is a rare type of testicular tumor, making up less than 5% of all cases, and typically presents as a homogeneous mass with specific imaging characteristics.
  • - It can be confused with seminoma testis due to similar imaging traits, but PTL can be differentiated by its stronger diffusion restriction and its occurrence in older patients.
  • - The report highlights two unusual cases of PTL that involved the epididymis and spermatic cord, extending along the gonadal vein to the inferior vena cava, adding crucial information for distinguishing PTL from other tumors.

Article Synopsis
  • Osmotic myelinolysis is a rare condition causing brain damage, typically diagnosed through imaging that shows changes in the brain's white matter.
  • The report discusses two patients with cancer who developed a specific kind of myelinolysis after treatment for low sodium, showing a rapid progression of symptoms from one area of the brain to another confirmed by MRI.
  • Early MRI scans can help predict the worsening of the condition, allowing for earlier interventions that might improve patient outcomes and possibly prevent further damage.

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to report magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of cystic lymphangiomas of the breast. METHODS: MRI of the breast was performed using a phased-array double breast coil with a 1.5-T MR scanner.

Solitary fibrous tumours are rare spindle cell tumours that generally arise from the pleura but on rare occasions arise in other locations such as the head and neck region, stomach and retroperitoneum. Very few reports exist on the imaging findings of these tumours in extra pleural sites such as the mesentery. We report the computed tomography (CT) imaging findings of a rare case of solitary fibrous tumour in a 68-year-old man who presented with a slowly enlarging painless pelvic mass.

The authors describe imaging patterns of intracranial metastases in 2 children with grade 4 neuroblastoma. Central nervous system metastases from neuroblastoma are extremely rare and may involve the cerebral parenchyma, leptomeninges, or dura. Cerebral parenchymal metastases can be cystic with mural nodules or solid with hemorrhagic elements.

SUMMARY: BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate a phyllodes tumor of the breast with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy. METHODS: MRI of the breasts was performed using a phased array double breast coil with spectroscopic capability on a 1.5T MR scanner.

Ewing's sarcoma commonly arises from bone and sometimes from extraskeletal soft tissues. It commonly metastasizes to the lungs, bone, bone marrow and brain. Cardiac metastasis is extremely uncommon.
