hepatic inflammatory pseudotumor (ipt) is a rare non-neoplastic process of unknown etiology, generally following a benign inflammatory condition. it is often mistaken as an either primary or metastatic malignancy in imaging studies. we report a 48 year-old female with numerous target lesions (2-4 cm) seen on high resolution ultrasound, spiral ct scan, and mri in all liver lobes compatible with ...

conclusions: despite its known shortcomings, like every other diagnostic tool, panoramic radiography can contribute to the early detection of maxillary/mandibular lesions that in turn enable the dentist to devise an appropriate treatment plan. results: cysts were mostly more common in men despite the equal propensity of both genders to benign tumors. in contrast, women showed a higher frequency...

OBJECTIVE To assess the diagnostic accuracy of triphasic spiral CT in differentiating benign from malignant focal tumoral liver lesions. METHODS The study was conducted in Department of Radiology of Aga Khan University Hospital and Sind Institute of Urology and Transplantation, Karachi from Feb 2006 to Feb 2007. By convenient sampling, 45 patients found to have focal tumoral liver lesions wer...

Imaging detection of liver cancers and identification of the bile ducts during surgery, based on the fluorescence properties of indocyanine green, has recently been developed in liver surgery. The principle of this imaging technique relies on the intravenous administration of indocyanine green before surgery and the illumination of the surface of the liver by an infrared camera that simultaneou...

BACKGROUND In advanced metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma, the addition of a neo-adjuvant systemic treatment to surgery might translate into a survival advantage, although this is yet to be confirmed by ongoing randomized trials. The objective of this study was to assess the effects of preoperative systemic chemotherapy on the morphology of non-tumoral liver. PATIENTS AND METHODS A large se...

Dual energy CT is a recent upgrade to this diagnostic imaging technique. The purpose of critical narrative review lay out the clinical applications Hounsfield Units and their variation across x-ray spectrum using DECT. We explore new reconstruction methods parametric maps helpful for diagnosis prevalent pathologies such as fatty liver disease, urolithiasis, identify complications after interven...

We have read with interest the study of Rubbia-Brandt et al. [1] entitled ‘Severe hepatic sinusoidal obstruction associated with oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer’. In this study, the investigators identified in the specimens from liver resection for colorectal metastases, some histological lesions of the non-tumoral liver parenchyma attributed to oxal...

This case report presented a simultaneous right colon tumor detected perioperatively in patient who developed ileus due to metastatic left the preoperative period. A seventy-six-year-old man was admitted with epigastric pain, nausea, and vomiting. There tenderness defense on deep palpation epigastrium. On computed tomography, there were multiple hypodense lesions liver, mass at level of splenic...

background: some species of grass cause poisoning and hepatogenous photosensitization in animals. objectives: feeding trials were conducted in sheep and goats to evaluate the hepatotoxic effects of setaria italica (s. italica). methods: twelve indigenous male sheep and goats were used in this study. the animals were kept outdoors against prevailing climatic conditions. they were fed with s. ita...

STUDY DESIGN A retrospective study. PURPOSE To clarify the features useful for the differential diagnosis of spinal canal tumoral lesions in patients undergoing hemodialysis. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE Tumoral lesions in the spinal canal are rarely found in hemodialysis patients. Therefore, the differential diagnosis of tumoral lesions in the spinal canal in hemodialysis patients has been very ...
