ABSTRACT

Using multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging, it is now possible to diagnose prostate cancer and categorize its risk. As it can accurately determine the extracapsu- lar extension of the tumor, invasion of seminal vesicles, involvement of lymph nodes, and the potential presence of bone metastases, multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging plays a crucial role not only in the diagnosis but also in the local staging of prostate cancer. The patients with a history of negative biopsy/increasing prostate- specific antigen and the existence of further data supporting its use in biopsy-naive patients and active surveillance are the most blatant indications for multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging in guidelines. The traditional clinical examination, pros- tate-specific antigen tests, and systematic biopsy are all enhanced by multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging, which will miss certain cancers due to insufficient size or changes in tissue density. The use of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging is expected to rise, and further advances in the method will be crucial for the secure adoption of targeted therapeutic ideas. Here, we give a succinct overview of multipa- rametric magnetic resonance imaging's application to the identification and risk clas- sification of prostate cancer.

ABSTRACT

Extragonadal germ cell tumors (GCTs) are a rare group of neoplasms that account for 1%-5% of all GCTs. These tumors can present with an unpredictable behavior and clinical manifestations depending on different factors such as histological subtype, anatomical site, and clinical stage. We report the case of a 43-year-old male patient with a primitive extragonadal seminoma located in the paravertebral dorsal region, an extremely rare site. He presented to our emergency department with a 3-month history of back pain and a 1-week history of fever of unknown origin. Imaging techniques revealed a solid tissue arising from the vertebral bodies of D9-D11 and extending in the paravertebral space. After a bone marrow biopsy and exclusion of testicular seminoma, he was diagnosed with primitive extragonadal seminoma. The patient underwent five cycles of chemotherapy, and the follow-up CT examinations showed a reduction of the mass initially till a complete remission with no evidence of recurrence.

ABSTRACT

We reported the case of a 42-years-old woman who suffered from a giant cell tumor of sacrum. Although the giant cell tumor primarily affects the long bones, especially those of the knee joint, it can rarely affect the axial skeleton and the sacrum. The onset of symptoms is generally insidious and may include locoregional pain and swelling as well as movement deficits if nerve roots are involved at this level. In this case report we discuss on the radiographic imaging, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging features of this type of tumor in an unusual location of the disease.

ABSTRACT

We report the case of a 29-year-old woman with Wunderlich syndrome, a rare spontaneous renal hemorrhage into the subcapsular and perinephric space. She presented to our emergency department with a sudden and persistent right flank pain in the abscence of abdominal injury. The onset of the symptoms can be insidious and lead to hypovolemic shock. Computed Tomography helps both in the diagnosis, detecting the renal hemorrhage, and contributes to an optimal patient management. Selective arterial embolisation is an efficient technique to stop acute and potential life-threatening hemorrhage and preserve the renal parenchyma.

ABSTRACT

Bone plays an important role in regulating mineral balance in response to physiologic needs. In addition, bone is subject to a continuous remodeling process to maintain healthy bone mass and growth. Metabolic bone diseases are a heterogeneous group of diseases caused by abnormalities of bone mass, mineral structure homeostasis, bone turnover, or bone growth. In pediatrics, several significant advances have been made in recent years in the diagnosis of metabolic bone diseases (e.g., osteogenesis imperfecta, hyperparathyroidism, rickets, renal osteodystrophy, pediatric osteoporosis, and osteopetrosis). Imaging is fundamental in the diagnosis of these pathologies.
