The gradually progressive solitary cystic-solid mass of chest CT scans is highly suggestive of lung cancer. We report a case of a 29-year-old woman with a persistent cystic-solid lesion in the right upper lobe. A chest CT scan showed a 35 mm × 44 mm × 51 mm focal cystic-solid mass in the anterior segment of the right upper lobe. The size of lesion had increased over 3 years, especially for the solid component. The right upper lobe pneumonectomy was performed. Postoperative pathological examination showed placental transmogrification of the lung, which is a rare cause of pulmonary cystic lesion.

Sarcomatoid hepatocellular carcinoma with subdiaphragmatic metastasis misdiagnosed as liver abscess: A case report.
Medicine (Baltimore)
December 2024
Radiology Department, the People's Hospital of Lezhi, Ziyang, Lezhi, China.
Rationale: Sarcomatoid hepatocellular carcinoma (SHC) is a rare subtype of hepatocellular carcinoma. Its imaging findings often resemble those of liver abscess, making preoperative diagnosis particularly challenging. To date, there have been no documented cases of SHC with subdiaphragmatic metastases.

Article Synopsis
- Chondrosarcoma most often forms in the pelvis and femur, and while surgical removal is the main treatment for tumors in the ribs, it can create significant challenges for chest wall reconstruction.
- A 49-year-old woman with a diagnosed Grade I chondrosarcoma had a large mass affecting her ribs and diaphragm, leading to a complete surgical resection of the tumor and surrounding affected structures, followed by reconstruction using mesh and sutures.
- The histopathology revealed a Grade II chondrosarcoma, but the patient had an uneventful recovery, highlighting the need for careful planning and collaborative approaches in treating such cases.

Medicine (Baltimore)
November 2024
Department of Radiological and Nuclear Medicine, The First Hospital of Hebei Medical University, Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province, China.
Background: To investigate the clinical features, imaging manifestations, and pathological characteristics of mixed epithelial stromal tumor of the kidney (MESTK) to improve the understanding of MESTK and the accuracy of preoperative imaging diagnosis.
Methods: The clinical, imaging, and pathological data of 3 patients with MESTK confirmed by postoperative pathology were retrospectively analyzed.
Results: Three patients with MESTK were middle-aged women with no obvious clinical symptoms.

Encapsulated papillary carcinoma (EPC) represents a distinct entity within the spectrum of breast papillary tumors, typically manifesting as a retroareolar mass. This rare subtype can be effectively visualized using ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging, which reveal characteristic cystic-solid nodules. Histopathologically, EPC is defined by a papillary tumor structure with a well-defined fibrous capsule, devoid of myoepithelial cells both within and around the capsule.

Article Synopsis
- Undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma of the liver is a rare cancer mostly affecting children, and is even less common in adults; proper imaging is crucial to avoid misdiagnosing it with more common liver masses.
- A 37-year-old Chinese woman presented with abdominal pain and underwent multiple imaging tests revealing a cystic-solid liver nodule, initially thought to be benign.
- The definitive indication of malignancy came from a PET-CT scan, which showed abnormal F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake, prompting the correct diagnosis of undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma of the liver.
