18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (F-18 FDG-PET) plays an important role in differentiating benign from malignant tumors. However, some false-positive findings, such as tuberculosis, may occur. We report a case referred for F-18 FDG whole-body PET computed tomography (PET/CT) scan owing to an elevated serum cancer antigen 125 (CA125). An FDG-PET/CT scan showed multiple hyperme...

CONTEXT Predicting the severity of acute pancreatitis early in the course of the disease is still difficult. OBJECTIVE The value of amylase and lipase levels in serum and peritoneal fluid might be of value in predicting the course of acute pancreatitis. DESIGN Prospective study. PATIENTS One-hundred and sixty-seven patients with acute pancreatitis as confirmed by computed tomography scan ...

BACKGROUND Disseminated peritoneal adenomucinosis (DPAM) patients often have a history of appendectomy with identification of an incidental mucinous neoplasm (low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (LAMN)). The rate of developing DPAM is not well established. METHODS Twenty-two patients with incidental LAMN were identified and monitored with cancer markers and CT every 4-6 months. Laparoscop...

Peritoneal glucose absorption in peritoneal dialysis causes hyperglycemia. Nonketotic hyperglycemia (NKH) includes hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state, which refers to a condition that hyperglycemia, hyperosmotic pressure, and dehydration without severe acidosis. NKH is associated with various types of epileptic seizures, but aphasic seizure as neurological complication very rare. Here we report c...

Peritoneal radionuclide scan is an established imaging modality for evaluating peritoneopleural communications. In this case report, unusual mediastinal lymph node radiotracer uptake is seen in a patient with portal hypertension on peritoneal scintigraphy. This was suspected to be due to marked lymphatic enlargement from longstanding portal hypertension since childhood, permitting passage of th...
