Amyloidosis Associated Kidney Failure with Gross Hypermetabolic Intra-abdominal Mass.

A 23-year-old male patient who presented with impaired kidney function tests attended to hospital for hemodialysis and underwent F-FDG positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) examination for the metabolic characterization of the intra-abdominal mass which was found in the ultrasonography. F-FDG PET/CT revealed a mass lesion adjacent to the liver which was hypermetabolic and the pathology of the lesion was determined as amyloidosis. To the best of our knowledge, the case with F-FDG PET/CT images of a huge amyloid mass is the first in the literature.

An unusual cause of duodenal obstruction: mesenteric fibromatosis in a patient with type I Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome.

Patients with mesenteric fibromatosis (MF) are clinically asymptomatic, with little or no focal symptoms until later in their course, at which time they complain of pain, abdominal discomfort, constipation, vomiting, abdominal mass, weight loss, and symptoms due to organ compression. Generally, it occurs as an abdominal mass but may also present in many different ways. In some cases, trauma, previous abdominal surgery, and hormonal stimulation (such as estrogen) may play a role in onset of this neoplasm.
