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...

Various imaging modalities are available to study the heart, including ultrasound, single photon emission computed tomography, positron emission tomography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging [1–4]. These modalities are fundamentally different and, consequently, different information is deduced from the images they generate. This paper describes briefly the physical principles ...

invasive apocrine carcinoma (iac) of the breast is a rare subtype of breast malignancy. its incidence is not well known, but it is approximately less than 1% to 4%. for these reasons, there are few reports and little information on the radiologic appearance of iac. furthermore, most of the case reports show malignant features which are similar to invasive ductal carcinoma (idc). we present a ra...

Mediastinal epidermoid cyst is a rare condition that is considered as a congenital disorder. Various manifestations from asymptomatic cases to serious symptoms may be found in these patients. However, some cases may be diagnosed incidentally. Here, we report an old man with recurrent pneumonia who demonstrated symptoms of respiratory distress and chest pain. The high resolution computed tomogra...

The present article is aimed at describing the key findings of ovarian torsion at computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Two investigators have consensually selected and analyzed magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography images acquired in the period from January 2010 to December 2011 of patients with proven acute abdominal pain resulting from ovarian torsion, highlighting...

Introduction: Atypical infratemporal fossa infections are rare and potentially fatal.   Case Report: A case of an aspergillosis localized in the infratemporal fossa and another case of tuberculosis of the infratemporal fossa originating from the maxillary sinus, is described. The first patient was immunocompromised and showed symptoms of facial numbness; whereas the other was an immunocompetent...
