Percutaneous ethanol ablation of intrahepatic arterial pseudoaneurysm: A case report.

Hepatic arterial pseudoaneurysm is a rare but potentially fatal condition that requires prompt management. We report a case of hepatic arterial pseudoaneurysm developed after radiofrequency ablation of a hepatocellular carcinoma. The patient was successfully treated with percutaneous absolute ethanol injection under ultrasound guidance.

Ultrasound-Guided Prolotherapy for Acromial Enthesopathy and Acromioclavicular Joint Arthropathy: A Single-Arm Prospective Study.

Objectives: Prolotherapy is an injection-based complementary treatment for various musculoskeletal diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of ultrasound-guided prolotherapy in the treatment of acromial enthesopathy and acromioclavicular joint arthropathy.

Methods: Thirty-one patients with chronic moderate-to-severe shoulder pain were recruited from September 2015 to September 2017.

Characterization and management of various renal cystic lesions by sonographic features.

Renal cysts are common incidental findings in clinical practice. Most renal cysts detected in medical imaging are benign simple cysts. However, some are complicated by hemorrhage or infection or are associated with calcification.

Algorithmic approaches to the diagnosis of gallbladder intraluminal lesions on ultrasonography.

Ultrasound is a frequently used diagnostic tool for gallbladder diseases. Polypoid lesions are commonly depicted at routine abdominal ultrasonography (US). The characteristics of these lesions vary.

The use of fine needle aspiration and trends in incidence of thyroid cancer in Taiwan.

Background: Thyroid cancer is the most prevalent endocrine malignancy, and the incidence of thyroid cancer has increased worldwide. Fine needle aspiration (FNA) for cytology of thyroid tissue is used for differentiating thyroid cancers from benign thyroid nodules. Overuse of FNA may detect subclinical thyroid cancer and play a role in the increased incidence of thyroid cancer.

Shoulder joint synovial chondromatosis presenting as multiple axillary masses: A case report.

Synovial chondromatosis is a rare, benign, proliferative cartilaginous lesion arising from the synovial tissue, tenosynovium, or bursal lining. We describe the case of a patient who initially presented with multiple axillary masses. Breast ultrasound (US) was requested due to the concern of a breast tumor with axillary lymph node metastases.

Solitary fibrous tumor of the breast: A case report and review of the literature.

Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is an uncommon neoplasm of mesenchymal origin, which can be benign or malignant. Most SFTs develop from the pleura, but they can also be found in other sites. There are only few reports of SFT occurring in the breast.

Epidermoid cyst of the testis: An atypical sonographic appearance.

Epidermoid cysts are rare. They represent the most common benign tumor of the testis. The sonographic appearances of testicular epidermoid cysts usually include avascular, mostly lamellated, heterogeneous internal echotexture, with hypoechoic and hyperechoic concentric rings, accounting for the typical onion-ring appearance.
