Purpose: To report an unusual case of paraneoplastic pseudovitelliform lesions associated with melanoma-associated retinopathy (MAR).
Design: Observational case report.
Methods: Retrospective review of the ophthalmic examination, fundus photography, fluorescein angiography, electroretinogram (ERG), and optical coherence tomography (OCT) of a patient with MAR.
Results: A 65-year-old Caucasian man with a two-year history of metastatic melanoma was referred for evaluation of a six-month history of nyctalopia. Funduscopic examination in both eyes revealed multiple, creamy, yellow, pseudovitelliform lesions in the posterior pole, varying in size from 100-500 mum, at the level of the outer retinal/retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) junction, coalescing along the inferior portion, with overlying macular neurosensory detachments. OCT showed bilateral macular neurosensory detachments with multiple small areas of high reflectivity at the level of the outer retinal/RPE junction. ERG demonstrated a selective loss of the b-wave and a normal a-wave under dark adapted, scotopic conditions.
Conclusion: Clinicians should be aware of this atypical presentation of MAR that may include pseudovitelliform retinal findings.

Utility of F-FDG PET/CT metabolic parameters on post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder diagnosis.
Ann Nucl Med

Department of Nuclear Medicine, Tianjin Medical University General Hospital, Tianjin, 300052, China.
Objective: Using F-FDG PET/CT metabolic parameters to differentiate post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) and reactive lymphoid hyperplasia (RLH), and PTLD subtypes.
Methods: F-FDG PET/CT and clinical data from 63 PTLD cases and 19 RLH cases were retrospectively collected. According to the 2017 WHO classification, PTLD was categorized into four subtypes: nondestructive (ND-PTLD), polymorphic (P-PTLD), monomorphic (M-PTLD), and classic Hodgkin.

Kawasaki disease (KD) is a febrile vasculitis disorder, with coronary artery lesions (CALs) being the most severe complication. Early detection of CALs is challenging due to limitations in echocardiographic equipment (UCG). This study aimed to develop and validate an artificial intelligence algorithm to distinguish CALs in KD patients and support diagnostic decision-making at admission.

Background: Autologous osteochondral transplantation (AOT) is an option to treat large osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLTs), accompanying subchondral cyst, and previous unsuccessful bone marrow stimulation (BMS) procedures. Although there is extensive literature on the outcomes of surgical interventions for medial osteochondral lesions, research focusing on lateral lesions remains limited. This article presents the intermediate-term clinical and radiologic outcomes following AOT for lateral OLTs.
