ABSTRACT
A fat-fluid level on CT is reported for biopsy proven undifferentiated adenocarcinoma of the ovary. This uncommon radiographic finding has been described in association with germ cell tumors of the ovary, such as cystic teratomas and immature teratomas, but not in other ovarian histologies. The finding of a fat-fluid level on CT is, therefore, suggestive but not exclusive to cystic teratomas.

Tufted angioma or angioblastoma of Nakagawa is a rare vascular tumor that usually appears in early childhood. It frequently is seen as an erythematous to red-brown, frequently indurated plaque that usually occurs on the trunk or neck. Typically tufted angiomas enlarge for a few years and then cease growing and remain stable. Histopathologic findings are pathognomonic. We describe a patient with a tufted angioma of the thigh who sought treatment for paroxysmal episodes of pain. Treatment with topical clobetasol propionate resulted in a decreased frequency of painful episodes.

Contrast-urine levels are often encountered in CT of the urinary bladder. Opacified urine occupies the dependent portion of the bladder, while unopacified urine layers above it. We report a case in which this relationship was reversed. An explanation of this phenomenon is proposed.
