BACKGROUND An immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related disease is important disease in differential diagnosis of tumors in kidney, pancreas, lung and other organs. The imaging findings of IgG4-related kidney diseases are usually expressed as defect contrast region, while cystic formation in kidney is extremely rare. Here, we report a case of IgG4-related tubulointerstitial nephritis with renal cystic c...

A case of aneurysmal bone cyst of the thoracic spine treated with serial particulate embolization responded with involution of soft-tissue and cystic components and diffuse ossification of the mass. Reappearance of foci of bony rarefaction or cystic change at 4-year follow-up indicates the need for continued surveillance.

Primary pulmonary malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm of the lung. Myxoid variant is an uncommon subtype of primary pulmonary MFH. In this report we present a case of a young adult who had chest discomfort and was found to have a huge mass in the left lung. Left pneumonectomy was performed and a myxoid variant of primary pulmonary MFH was proven by immunohistoche...

OBJECTIVE Our objective was to demonstrate the characteristic features of retroperitoneal lymphatic aneurysmal dilatation with three-dimensional (3D) magnetic resonance (MR) lymphography. CONCLUSION Three-dimensional MR lymphography demonstrates that retroperitoneal lymphatic aneurysmal dilatation exhibits a continuous spectrum of change from normal variants to lymphatic aneurysmal dilatation...

Intrahepatic bile duct adenoma is a rare benign epithelial hepatic tumor derived from bile duct cells. We report the imaging findings of a patient with bile duct adenoma, which appeared as a small heterogeneously enhancing mass with focal small cystic change on CT and MRI. Follow-up images at seven months showed a slight increase in tumor size, which could be partly explained by intratumoral he...

Cystic fibrosis is the most common lethal autosomal recessive disorder in the Caucasian population. Although the survival rate in patients constantly improves, lung damage is still the major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with cystic fibrosis. In clinical practice, evaluation of patients' pulmonary state is made by combination of monitoring of lung function and more directly by as...

In spite of the widespread use of obstetrical sonography, the prenatal detection of presumed adrenal hemorrhage remains extremely unPathologic proof is ~ a r e . ~ , ~ Several authors have noted adrenal calcifications at birth and have speculated that they represent the sequelae of prenatal adrenal hemorrhage. However, without pathologic proof, differentiation from spontaneously resolved neurob...

BACKGROUND Antenatal screening for cystic fibrosis has been endorsed by the US National Institutes of Health. Edinburgh is the only city in the UK with an established routine antenatal screening programme for cystic fibrosis. AIMS To report the change in numbers of infants diagnosed with cystic fibrosis born in Edinburgh after the introduction of antenatal screening for the disease. POPULAT...

One-third of schwannomas occur in head and neck region, mostly in the parapharyngeal region. Cystic change is seen in only 4% of schwannomas. The diagnosis of such tumors remains a challenge due to the rarity of these lesions and limited utility of fine needle aspiration cytology. When cystic, branchial cleft cyst is an important differential diagnosis more so due to radiological resemblance. W...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether oral protein energy supplements, used long term in children with cystic fibrosis who are moderately malnourished, improve nutritional and other outcomes. DESIGN Multicentre randomised controlled trial. SETTING Seven specialist paediatric cystic fibrosis centres and their associated shared care clinics and seven smaller paediatric cystic fibrosis clinics. PAR...
