Abdominal hibernoma is a rare slow-growing tumor originating from brown adipose tissue. Due to its rarity, only a few case reports have been published so far. Pelvic localization is anedoctal and preoperative differential diagnosis with other malignancies may be challenging. We present the case of a woman who, due to a lower abdominal pain, underwent an abdominal ultrasonography with diagnosis ...

OBJECTIVES Pelvic congestion syndrome (PCS) is associated with pelvic vein reflux (PVR), occasionally secondary to venous compression. Its symptoms, usually intra-pelvic, are alleviated following the abolition of this reflux by pelvic vein embolisation (PVE). The objective of this report is to present two cases of left hip pain, erroneously diagnosed as osteoarthritis, which disappeared after s...

BACKGROUND Aeromonas species are gram-negative rods usually isolated from the gastrointestinal tract. They have been occasionally reported as a cause of extra-intestinal infections such as cellulitis, cholangitis, necrotizing fascitis, meningitis, bacteremia, or peritonitis in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients. AIM To determine the role and possible pathogenesis of Aeromonas...

BACKGROUND This study investigated the local effect and acute toxicity of irinotecan and capecitabine with concurrent intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for the treatment of recurrent rectal cancer without prior pelvic irradiation. METHODS Seventy-one patients diagnosed with recurrent rectal cancer who did not previously receive pelvic irradiation were treated in our hospital from O...

endometriosis is described as the presence of functioning endometrial tissue (glands and stroma) outside the uterine cavity. the most common location is within the pelvis. however, extra pelvic endometriosis is a fairly uncommon disorder and difficult to diagnose. it can sometimes occur in a surgical scar. scar endometriosis is a rare condition and difficult to diagnose. it mostly follows obste...

A 25-year-old woman had total thyroidectomy and iodine-131 ablation therapy for papillary thyroid carcinoma. Whole body imaging on the 7th day of therapeutic activity demonstrated radioiodine uptake in the remnant tissue and intense heterogeneous uptake at the sacral region prominently in the posterior image. Initial interpretation was suspicious for sacral metastasis. Technetium-99m-methylene ...

Solitary fibrous tumours are rare spindle cell tumours that generally arise from the pleura but on rare occasions arise in other locations such as the head and neck region, stomach and retroperitoneum. Very few reports exist on the imaging findings of these tumours in extra pleural sites such as the mesentery. We report the computed tomography (CT) imaging findings of a rare case of solitary fi...

Pincer-type femoroacetabular impingement is an acetabular/pelvic-sided disorder. Although acetabular overcoverage is a common theme for this disorder, there are distinct pincer subtypes with variable pathomorphologies that must be considered when contemplating the ideal approach and treatment for these disorders. In addition, emerging evidence suggests that extra-articular pelvic structures, su...
