AI Article Synopsis
- In some rare cases, endometriosis can affect an area in the back of the abdomen called the retroperitoneum.
- This report talks about a patient who had pain and swelling because of a problem with her kidney caused by suspected endometriosis, while she was receiving a certain cancer treatment called tamoxifen.
- Doctors used special imaging tests to look inside her body and a biopsy (taking a small tissue sample) to confirm that she had endometriosis near her ureter (the tube that carries urine).
Article Abstract
The involvement of the retroperitoneum by endometriosis occurs only sporadically. In the present report, emphasis will be given to the magnetic resonance imaging findings which raised the diagnostic suspicion of periureteral lesion in a patient undergoing tamoxifen therapy, presenting with left upper quadrant pain and hydronephrosis. Histopathological findings obtained by means of computed tomography-guided percutaneous biopsy revealed the diagnosis of periureteral endometriosis.

Extramedullary infiltration of acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (ALL) to genital organs is extremely rare. Here, we present a case report of an asymptomatic 49-year-old female, known case of precursor B-cell ALL, who was incidentally detected with thickened and heterogeneously hyperechoic endometrium on sonography. Contrast magnetic resonance imaging detected large polypoidal enhancing lesions showing intense diffusion restriction occupying the endometrial cavity and similar lesions in the left adnexa, left ovary, and fallopian tube which were suspicious for leukemic infiltration because of the clinical history and atypical appearance of the lesions.

Introduction: Castleman's disease (CD) represents a rare polyclonal lymphoproliferative disorder characterized by atypical lymph node hyperplasia, the precise etiology of which remains undefined. Pancreatic involvement of CD is particularly uncommon and often misdiagnosed due to its nonspecific clinical features, making it difficult to distinguish from tumors with abundant blood supply such as solid pseudopapillary tumors and neuroendocrine tumors. Multimodal imaging plays a crucial role in diagnosing pancreatic CD and determining the extent of lymph node involvement.

Primary renal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are extremely rare among renal malignancies. According to pathological manifestations, carcinoid can be divided into four types: typical carcinoid, atypical carcinoid, large cell and small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma. Primary or secondary retroperitoneal carcinoid is even rarer than renal carcinoid.

Castleman disease is a benign lymph node hyperplasia with two histological subtypes. In the case reported here, a young adult male presented with mucocutaneous lesions mimicking common dermatological conditions. Suspicion of an underlying systemic disease arose when the routine clinical care of the skin lesions failed to cure them.

Castleman's disease (CD) is characterised by benign lymphoepithelial proliferation and is a peculiar form of angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia rather than a neoplasm or a hamartoma. CD is broadly classified as unicentric CD (UCD) and multicentric CD. In the unicentric variant, patients have localised disease affecting only a single lymph node or a group of adjacent nodes in a single region, which clinically presents as an enlarging mass without any other significant symptoms.
