we report two cases of focal nodular hyperplasia in patients following gadoxetic acid (gd-eob-dtpa)-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging confirmed with histopathology. these cases showed an atypical pattern during the delayed-hepatobiliary phase after the injection of gadoxetic acid. one case showed a total defect, and the other showed a peripheral ring-like enhancement without a visible central...

introduction nonclassical congenital adrenal hyperplasia (cah) is characterized by sufficient cortisol and aldosterone production at the cost of androgen overproduction. hydrocortisone or dexamethasone in supraphysiological doses are current treatment; however, their downside is suppression of endogenous cortisol production resulting in corticosteroid dependency. we aimed to treat children with...

PURPOSE Endometrial carcinoma (EC) is common in the population and the most frequent extracolonic malignancy in hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal carcinoma (HNPCC)/Lynch syndrome. We characterized precursor lesions of endometrioid EC to identify markers of malignant transformation and tumor progression. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Serial specimens of normal endometrium, simple hyperplasia, complex h...
