Adenocarcinoma of the rete testis was encountered in a 62-year-old man. The tumour was localised in the region of the testicular hilum as a greyish-white nodule that showed no involvement of the adjacent testicular parenchyma or the epididymis. On microscopical examination, there was a well-differentiated adenocarcinoma separated by fibrovascular stroma, entirely confined to the testicular hilu...

RATIONALE Encephalopathy is a rare complication of hepatic metastases. In this paper we present a case of a patient with lung cancer and metastatic-related giant hepatomegaly. PATIENT CONCERNS A 78-year-old previously healthy male was admitted in the Emergency room in hepatic coma. DIAGNOSES The abdominal CT scan examination revealed a huge liver filled with solid nodules. INTERVENTIONS N...

INTRODUCTION Liver gas gangrene is a rare condition with a highly mortality rate. It is mostly associated with host factors, such as malignancy and immunosuppression. PRESENTATION OF CASE A 57-year-old female was admitted to our hospital with abnormalities of her serum hepato-biliary enzymes. She had a history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, cerebral infarction, and chronic renal failure....

Abstract Introduction/Objective Ectopic liver is a rare developmental abnormality, in which tissue localized outside the normal and has no connection to native liver. The presence of ectopic been reported most commonly gall bladder. Intrathoracic cavity, kidney, abdominal wall, esophagus are other sites where it identified. But its intraperitoneal rarely previously. We report such case young fe...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE 2D-ss-IMIV-DWEPI is an ss-DWEPI with greatly reduced geometric distortion. The purposes of this paper are to 1) evaluate of the utility of 2D-ss-IMIV-DWEPI for high-resolution neck LN imaging; 2) determine whether 2D-ss-IMIV-DWEPI can depict normal LN hilum; and 3) evaluate whether the inclusion of LN hilum within ROIs affects the measured LN ADC. MATERIALS AND METHODS ...

A 65-year-old man, who was diagnosed with pre-cirrhotic, alcoholic liver disease at the age of 60, was admitted for acute alcoholic hepatitis. Laboratory data on admission were: AST 482 IU/L, ALT 141 IU/L, alkaline phosphatase 916 IU/L, γ-glutamyl transferase 1,609 IU/L, total bilirubin 9.2 mg/dL, albumin 2.9 g/dL, and prothrombin time 55% of normal. Contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomogra...

Background Pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma (PACC) is a rare tumor. Surgical resection is the treatment of choice when feasible, but there are no clear recommendations for patients with advanced disease. Liver-directed therapy with Y-90 selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) has been used to treat hepatic metastases from pancreatic tumors. We describe a case of PACC liver metastases treate...
