RESUMO
ABSTRACT: Central pontine myelinolysis (CPM) is demyelinating condition of pons caused by osmotic stress due to rapid correction of hyponatremia. We present a case where CPM was an incidental finding on FDG PET/CT scan. To the best of our knowledge, only 3 case reports have been published till date describing CPM on 18F-FDG PET/CT scans.

PSMA (prostate-specific membrane antigen) PET/CT scan is the imaging modality of choice for staging and restaging of carcinoma prostate. Although initially thought to be a tracer with high specificity for prostatic tissue, with its extensive clinical use, there has been a rise in published literature citing its uptake in nonprostatic conditions. We present a case where false-positive PSMA uptake was noted in glomus jugulare during staging workup for carcinoma prostate.

Brunner gland hamartoma (brunneroma) is a rare benign tumor of the duodenum. It is usually asymptomatic and detected incidentally by endoscopy or other imaging modality. The definitive diagnosis is based on histopathological findings. These may mimic tumors of other natures, such as gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), carcinoids, lipomas, and leiomyomas. Here, we present a case of duodenal polyp presenting with abdominal pain and obstructive symptoms that caused duodenal intussusception. It was surgically removed and found to be a brunneroma on histopathology. HOW TO CITE THIS ARTICLE: Patankar AM, Wadhwa AM, Bajaj A, Ingule A, Wagle P.
