Telangiectatic adenoma – computed tomography and magnetic resonance findings: a case report and review of the literature

چکیده
Telangiectatic adenoma is a new classification of a hepatic lesion. It was previously named telangiectatic focal nodular hyperplasia but it is in fact true adenoma with telangiectatic features. We report here a case of telangiectatic adenoma in a 72-year-old woman. The image features are lack of a central scar, a heterogeneous lesion, hyperintensity in T1-weighted MR images, strong hyperintensity in T2-weighted MR images, and persistent contrast enhancement in delayed-phase contrast-enhanced CT or T1-weighted MR images. It is a monoclonal lesion with potential of malignancy. The treatment of telangiectatic adenoma is surgery, the same way as hepatic adenoma. Focal nodular hyperplasia may be managed by clinical follow-up alone.

Unusual diagnosis of Von Hippel Lindau syndrome on PET/CT - Case report and brief review of literature
We report an unusual case of a young male with cerebellar hemangioblastoma treated previously for medullary carcinoma of thyroid, whose PET/CT scans revealed a constellation of findings that suggested the rare Von Hippel Lindau syndrome. The diagnosis was clinched by confirming the findings on whole body contrast enhanced computed tomography (CECT) and contrast enha...
متن کاملA Large Solitary Hemangioblastoma of the Lateral Ventricles: A Case Report and Literature Review
Hemangioblastoma (HB) in the supratentorial region of the brain is rare and only a few cases are reported on intraventricular HB. HB of the lateral ventricles is even rarer. We present a case of a 30-year-old man with generalized tonic clonic seizures. The brain computed tomography showed a 5.5 cm heterogeneous mass extending into both lateral ventricles with partial enhancement. Based on the s...
متن کاملIntrahepatic bile duct adenoma mimicking hepatic metastasis: case report and review of the literature.
We present a case of bile duct adenoma that mimicked hepatic metastasis from gastric cancer. The adenoma exhibited prolonged enhancement on dynamic computed tomography, hyperintensity on diffusion-weighted imaging, and diminished uptake of superparamagnetic iron oxide and gadolinium-ethoxybenzyl-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid on magnetic resonance imaging, resembling those of adenocarcinom...
متن کاملBimodal magnetic resonance imaging-computed tomography nanoprobes: A Review
Bimodal imaging combines two imaging modalities in order to benefit from their advantages and compensate the limitations of each modality. This technique could accurately detect diseases for diagnostic purposes. Nanoparticles simultaneously offer diagnostic data via various imaging modalities owing to their unique properties. Moreover, bimodal nanoprobes could be incorporated into theranostic s...
متن کاملPlain X-ray, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging findings of telangiectatic osteosarcoma: a case report
An 18-year-old male patient presented with chronic nonspecific pain of three months located at his left proximal tibia. The patient was admitted to our department for plain X-ray, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging examination. Plain X-ray and computed tomography revealed a geographic lytic lesion at the medial aspect of the proximal tibia. Biopsy of the lesion showed telangiect...
