A case of retroperitoneal spleen diagnosed by nephroangiotomography is described. The embryologic background of this rare abnormality is explained. Stress is laid on the importance of nephroangiotomography in the correct evaluation of those alterations that normally pose difficult problems of interpretation.

Castleman disease (CD) is a nonclonal lymphoproliferative disorder that causes non-neoplastic lymph node enlargement. With an incidence of approximately 21-25 cases per million, CD presents variably, often mimicking both benign and malignant conditions across various body regions. Clinically, it ranges from asymptomatic lymph node enlargement in Unicentric Castleman's Disease (UCD) to aggressive, multicentric presentations affecting multiple organs.

We present a 55-year-old woman with a palpable mass in the right upper abdomen. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed a highly vascularized and primary resectable tumor of the spleen. We performed an open splenectomy with locoregional lymphadenectomy.

Background: Increased survival can be achieved in patients with colorectal cancer peritoneal metastases (CRPM) treated with cytoreductive surgery. The benefit of this strategy remains uncertain when CRPM are associated with extraperitoneal metastases (EPM). The aim of this study was to compare short- and long-term outcomes of patients treated with CRS for CRPM, with or without EPM.

Purpose: To determine the efficacy and safety of virtual unenhanced imaging by comparing the attenuation values of virtual and true unenhanced images acquired using third-generation dual-source dual-energy computed tomography (dsDECT).
Methods: Single-energy non-contrast and dual-energy arterial and venous phase images of 97 patients who underwent triphasic abdominal computed tomography (CT) were included in this retrospective study. Virtual unenhanced images were generated for the arterial (a) and venous (v) phases using two dsDECT algorithms.
