Unusual sites for recurrent ovarian metastases include extrahepatic solid organs (except the spleen), bone and the abdominal wall. We report a rare renal recurrence of ovarian malignancy and its imaging features.

Ano-rectal malformations (ARM) in the male patient may be associated with a fistulous communication between the rectum and urethra. Pre-operative radiological assessment is important to delineate (a) the presence and level of the fistula, (b) the anatomy of the posterior urethra and (c) any anomalies in adjacent structures. Bladder catheterisation can be technically difficult when performing an MCUG and distal loopogram in such patients. This can be due to urethral stricture, tortuous or kinked urethra or preferential passage of catheter into a large fistula and leads to an inadequate study. We describe a "double urethral catheter technique" to enable urethral catheterisation when the fistula is large.

We present the appearances on CT and MRI of a case of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) of uterine cervix. A 41-year-old woman presented with a short history of urinary symptoms and menorrhagia. Previous cervical smears were normal. Clinically, the cervix was replaced by a huge ulcerating mass. Biopsy showed malignant high grade B-cell NHL. T(2) weighted MRI of the pelvis showed a 12 cm intermediate signal mass replacing the cervix, with infiltration of the vagina and left parametrium, and bilateral internal iliac lymphadenopathy. Whole body CT imaging showed lymphoma in the kidneys and pancreas, the latter associated with biliary obstruction. The patient is in complete remission 7 months post chemotherapy, radiotherapy and stenting of biliary stricture. The success of the cervical cancer screening programme has lead to a reduction in the number of cases of advanced cervical carcinoma and the presence of an unusually large homogeneous cervical tumour, with relatively scant necrosis should prompt suspicion of a less common histology such as NHL.
