Macro-vacuolar steatosis in a cirrhotic liver mimicking metastatic disease.

Multinodular steatosis represents a relatively uncommon manifestation of fatty liver disease (FLD). Co-morbidities such as metabolic syndrome or cirrhosis are often associated. Despite typical features of imaging (ultrasound, CT, and MRI), core biopsy sometimes remains the gold standard for diagnosis.

The use of cyanoacrylate in the treatment of angiodysplasias: A safe and cheap alternative to coils.

Gastrointestinal angiodysplasia (GIAD) represents one of the most frequent causes of recurrent lower gastrointestinal bleeding in the elder population. Clinical manifestations are highly variable, diagnosis is done with colonoscopy or CT and management consists of either endoscopic or, more conservatively, endovascular approach. Trans-arterial embolization (TAE) reduces blood flow into the lesion and may complicate with perforation, dissection, vasospasm and bowel ischaemia.

Relative position of bladder neck to pubic symphysis on cystogram is a strong and reproducible predictor of early urinary continence recovery following radical prostatectomy.

Objectives: To assess whether bladder neck angle and position on cystogram predict early urinary continence in patients scheduled for early catheter removal after radical prostatectomy (RP).

Methods: A total of 103 patients undergoing open or robot-assisted RP by one expert surgeon between January and December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. A cystogram was performed on postoperative day 3 or 4 to evaluate anastomotic leakage, and, if none or minimal, the catheter was removed.

Computed tomography features predicting aggressiveness of malignant parenchymal renal tumors suitable for partial nephrectomy.

The aim of this study was to identify and standardize computed tomography (CT) features having a potential role in predicting aggressiveness of malignant parenchymal renal tumors suitable for partial nephrectomy (PN). We performed a non-systematic review of the recent literature to evaluate the potential impact of CT variables proposed by the Society of Abdominal Radiology Disease-Focused Panel on Renal Cell Carcinoma in predicting aggressiveness of newly diagnosed malignant parenchymal renal tumors. The analyzed variables were clinical tumor size, tumor growth rate, enhancement characteristics, amount of cystic component, polar and capsular location, tumor margins and distance between tumor and renal sinus.
