Endometriosis of abdominal and pelvic wall scars: multimodality imaging findings, pathologic correlation, and radiologic mimics.

Implantation of an endometriotic lesion within a pelvic or abdominal wall scar is an uncommon but well-described condition that may be the underlying cause of acute or chronic recurrent abdominal or pelvic pain, especially after cesarean section. Radiologists may not consider scar endometriosis when it is encountered at cross-sectional imaging. Cesarean section scars are the most common site of extraovarian or extrauterine endometriosis.

Segmental testicular infarction: report of seven new cases and literature review.

Segmental testicular infarction is a relatively rare acute or subacute condition which is infrequently thought of in the differential diagnosis for testicular pain. However, missing or misdiagnosing this entity on clinical evaluation and/or imaging has significant implications for patients as they may undergo unnecessary surgery for suspected testicular torsion or tumor. Knowledge and recognition of the features of segmental testicular infarction on ultrasound and MRI will aid in the diagnosis of this disease early in the patient's course.

Primary testicular lymphoma involving the spermatic cord and gonadal vein.

We report a case of a 70-year-old man with a history of prostatic adenocarcinoma and a 3-month history of right hemiscrotal swelling. The patient underwent a CT scan, scrotal ultrasound, and F-18 FDG-PET scan to evaluate for metastatic prostate cancer. The CT scan demonstrated an ill-defined soft-tissue mass extending along the right gonadal vein.

Complications of abdominal and pelvic procedures: computed tomographic diagnosis.

The postprocedural period is a critical time in which serious complications can manifest. Localization of suspected complications following abdominal and pelvic procedures can be difficult on clinical evaluation alone. For example, abdominal pain after a colonoscopy may vary in etiology and can result from simple colonic spasm to colonic perforation, hemoperitoneum, or even splenic rupture.

Radiology-Pathology Conference: Bilateral renal oncocytomas.

Oncocytoma is an uncommon benign, typically solitary renal tumor first reported in 1942. Renal oncocytomas are rarely multiple and/or bilateral. Accurate preoperative diagnosis and differentiation from renal carcinoma is difficult.
