Metastasis of Renal Clear Cell Carcinoma to Thyroid Gland Mimicking Adenomatous Goiter.

Background: Renal cell carcinoma is an interesting tumor due to its unpredictable behavior. Common metastatic sites of renal cell carcinoma are the lungs, lymph nodes, bones and liver. Concurrent thyroid metastasis of clear cell carcinoma is uncommon but it can appear as a rapidly growing cervical, painless nodular mass.

Idiopathic Granulomatous Mastitis Associated with Erythema Nodosum.

Background: Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) is an uncommon benign chronic inflammatory breast disease, and erythema nodosum (EN) is an extremely rare systemic manifestation of IGM. Here, we report a rare case of IGM accompanied by EN.

Case Report: A 32-year-old patient was admitted to our clinic with a history of a tender mass in the right breast.

Clinical and MRI findings of cerebellar agenesis in two living adult patients.

Cerebellar agenesis (CA) is an extremely rare entity. We present two adult patients with CA. The 61-year-old man had ataxia, dysarthria, abnormalities in cerebellar tests, severe cognitive impairment, and moderate mental retardation.

Is evaluation of placenta with real-time sonoelastography during the second trimester of pregnancy an effective method for the assessment of spontaneous preterm birth risk?

Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of placental strain ratio (SR) values measured by real-time sonoelastography (SE) in the second trimester in the prediction of spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB).

Methods: This study included 70 pregnant women who applied to our clinic for routine second-trimester screening. Placental SR measurements were performed with the SE method.

Diagnostic value of strain elastography for differentiation between renal cell carcinoma and transitional cell carcinoma of kidney.

Purpose: The objective of our study was to prospectively evaluate the diagnostic performance of strain elastography for differentiation between renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) and transitional cell carcinomas (TCCs) of kidney.

Methods: A total of 99 consecutive patients who were referred to our hospital because of a newly diagnosed solid renal mass suspicious for malignancy on radiological screenings were evaluated with sonography, including strain elastography. Strain elastography was used to compare the stiffness of the renal masses and renal cortex.

Untreated Isolated Torsion of the Epididymis in an Adolescent.

Although torsion of epididymis is extremely rare, it should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of acute scrotal pain in adolescents. We report here a very rare cause of acute scrotum: torsion of the epididymis.

Venous flow volume measured by duplex ultrasound can be used as an indicator of impaired tissue perfusion in patients with peripheral arterial disease.

Aim: In this study, we aimed to investigate the arterial and venous flow volume rate (FV) in order to determine the tissue perfusion using duplex ultrasonography (DU). We hypothesized that FV provides reliable information regarding tissue perfusion in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD).

Material And Methods: The study comprised 38 patients (72 legs) with PAD.

Investigation of right lobe hepatic vein variations of donor using 64-detector computed tomography before living donor liver transplantation.

Background/aims: To investigate the anatomy and variations of right lobe accessory veins and segment 5-8 veins draining into middle hepatic vein with 64 slice multidetector computed tomography (CT).

Materials And Methods: 100 consecutive living donor candidates underwent 64 slice CT angiography. Image interpretation was performed based on source axial images, multiplanar reformats, and three-dimensional postprocessing images by the same radiologist.

A giant subserosal uterine leiomyoma mimicking an abdominal mass: multimodal imaging data.

Giant uterine leiomyomas are extremely rare neoplasms and are challenging both diagnostically and therapeutically. A 49-year-old premenopausal female presented at our Department complaining of abdominal pain and distention for several years. Ultrasound (US), color Doppler US, abdominal computed tomography imaging after administration of contrast material, and abdominal magnetic resonance imaging were performed.

Measure the Vascular Flow Volume rather than Vascular Stenosis and Pressure Gradient.

We aimed to investigate the extent to which measurements of flow volume (FV) with colour flow duplex ultrasonography (CDU) could predict tissue perfusion. A 68 year-old male patient was admitted to our clinic complaining of intermittent claudication in the right leg. Digital subtraction angiography showed total occlusion of the right femoral artery.

Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Features of Abdominal Viscera in a Patient with Gaucher's Disease.

A 46-year-old woman with Gaucher's disease (GD) consulted our clinic for abdominopelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), as physical examination had revealed hepatosplenomegaly. Upper abdominal MRI showed massive hepatosplenomegaly and innumerable hypointense splenic nodules on T1-weighted images. Diffusion-weighted MRI (DW-MRI) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) were performed to liver parenchyma and splenic nodules.

Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging findings of kidneys with obstructive uropathy: differentiation between benign and malignant etiology.

Purpose: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the capability of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) in differentiation between benign and malignant etiology of obstructive uropathy.

Materials And Methods: DWI was performed in 41 patients with hydronephrotic kidneys and 26 healthy volunteers. MR imaging was performed using a 1.

Multimodality, anatomical, and diffusion-weighted fetal imaging of a spontaneously thrombosing congenital dural sinus malformation.

We report on the conventional and diffusion-weighted (DWI) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of a partially thrombosed torcular Herophili dural sinus malformation. DWI confirmed the intralesional partial thrombosis/blood clot characterized by restricted diffusion. In addition, focal or global intracerebral complications were excluded by fetal DWI.
