Ectopic varices can result from portal vein stenosis following pancreaticoduodenectomy with concomitant portal vein resection reconstruction, and they can cause gastrointestinal bleeding. Although they can sometimes be fatal, various treatments have been reported. This report describes a case in which a percutaneous transhepatic approach was used to simultaneously perform variceal embolization and portal vein stenting in which a favorable outcome was achieved.

- The study aimed to assess whether texture analysis of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps can effectively differentiate fat-poor angiomyolipomas (fpAMLs) from non-clear-cell renal cell carcinomas (non-ccRCCs) using MRI data from two institutions.
- Involving 106 patients with confirmed renal masses, researchers extracted 45 texture features and used a random forest model to analyze the data, comparing its diagnostic performance with that of experienced and novice radiologists.
- The texture analysis showed similar accuracy to experienced radiologists in distinguishing between fpAMLs and non-ccRCCs, indicating its feasibility as a reliable diagnostic tool across different imaging technologies and institutions.
