This case series describes our experience with a prenatal diagnosis of fetal perineal masses. We propose a clinical-sonographic approach for prenatal workup in cases presenting perineal findings based on imaging the target sign at the posterior perineal triangle, the fetal genitalia, and sacrum. Targeted, structured prenatal anatomical scan in fetuses presenting with perineal masses may aid in the prenatal differential diagnosis and enable appropriate genetic analysis, prenatal counseling, and postnatal treatment.

Background: Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in domestic cattle is an economically significant malignant neoplasm and has been documented primarily in ocular and periocular tissues, vulva, and perineum. SCCs are often slow-growing and locally invasive, but metastasis is uncommon. Increased risk of developing SCC has been predominantly associated with high levels of sunlight exposure and hypopigmentation (skin and conjunctiva).

Perineal hernias occur rarely following abdominoperineal resections. No standardized surgical approach exists for treating PH. We herein present the case of a large, symptomatic PH that was repaired with a combined abdominal and perineal approach, with peritoneal flap reconstruction of the pelvic floor and placement of a biological mesh.

Article Synopsis
  • Luffa cylindrica, a climbing herb valued for its nutrition and medicinal properties, is facing a significant decline in health due to root-knot nematode disease, particularly in Beihai, Guangxi, China, where almost 90% of the plants were affected.
  • Investigations revealed physical symptoms such as plant dwarfism, decreased yields, and prominent root knotted growth after analyzing the roots of the plants, which highlighted the presence of nematodes at different life stages.
  • Morphological characteristics of the identified nematodes, likely Meloidogyne enterolobii, matched previous descriptions, and DNA analysis using specific primers confirmed their presence, showing a targeted amplification of about 236 bp.

Ultrasound is helpful to diagnose and identify aggressive angiomyxoma: A case report.

J Clin Ultrasound

January 2025

Department of Ultrasound, West China Second University Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China.

Article Synopsis
  • Aggressive angiomyxoma (AAM) is a rare tumor originating from mesenchymal tissue, often mistaken for other types of superficial masses.
  • A case study of a 21-year-old female with a 2-year history of a vulvar mass is presented, where imaging techniques like ultrasound and CT scans confirmed the presence of a solid neoplasm.
  • After surgical removal, the tumor was diagnosed as AAM through biopsy, and the article will discuss imaging features, histology, and related literature on AAM.
