Background: Because of its poor prognosis, the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma with sarcomatous change (HCCSC) is clinically important.
The purpose of this study is to elucidate the characteristic CT findings of HCCSC.
Methods: Two-phased dynamic incremental CT images of six histologically proven HCCSC were retrospectively reviewed.
Results: All tumors (100%) exhibited peripheral enhancement on delayed CT images. Lymphadenopathy was observed in 100% (six of six
patients); intrahepatic metastases, in 83% (five of six). Both metastatic lesions showed findings similar to those of the
primary hepatic tumors, such as peripheral enhancement. Histopathologically, delayed and/or prolonged peripherally enhanced
areas consisted of viable cancer cells with sarcomatous changes.
Conclusions: The appearance of HCCSC on CT is that of an irregularly demarcated intrahepatic mass with delayed or prolonged peripheral
enhancement, frequently with intrahepatic metastases and lymphadenopathy.

Rectus sheath hematoma: diagnostic classification by CT 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
A method of classification for hematomas of the rectus abdominis sheath (RSH) is proposed based on findings observed in CT
in the 13 cases of RSH in the present study. Type I hematomas (five cases) are slight and do not require hospitalization.
Type II (three cases) and type III (five cases) are moderate and severe hematomas, respectively, and do require hospitalization.
The patients with type III hematomas were all undergoing anticoagulant therapy and presented with a picture of acute abdomen,
and in all five cases blood transfusion was carried out. Ultrasonography and, in particular, CT permitted a correct diagnosis
of RSH. RSH should be considered (anticoagulant therapy induced) in females with sudden abdominal pain to avoid unnecessary
surgical intervention.

Background: To assess the accuracy of computed tomographic (CT) imaging in the detection of spread and staging of gallbladder carcinoma.
Methods: CT findings of spread of gallbladder carcinoma in 59 Japanese patients who underwent radical surgery were correlated retrospectively
with pathologic findings.
Results: The incidence of histologically proven nodal involvement was 54% (32 patients) and the most common spread of gallbladder
carcinoma. The sensitivities in CT detection of N1 and N2 nodal involvement were 36% and 47%, respectively; positive predictive
values were 94% and 92%, respectively. Direct extension to the liver, extrahepatic bile duct, and gastrointestinal tract or
pancreas were histologically confirmed in 24, 18, and five patients. The sensitivities in the CT detection of direct spread
to the liver of less than 2 cm, more than 2 cm, the extrahepatic bile duct, and the gastrointestinal tract or pancreas were
65%, 100%, 50%, and 57%, respectively; positive predictive values were 77%, 100%, 90%, and 100%, respectively. The incidence
of liver metastases and involvement of interaortocaval nodes were 7% and 16%, respectively. The sensitivities in CT detection
of liver metastases and involvement of interaortocaval nodes were 75% and 21%, respectively; positive predictive values were
100% and 86%, respectively. CT could not detect direct spread to omentum and peritoneal seedings.
Conclusion: For detecting the spread of gallbladder carcinoma, CT imaging has low to moderate sensitivity; however, CT imaging can help
in determining resectability and in planning the treatment, especially in advanced-stage gallbladder carcinoma, because of
a high positive predictive value.

We report on three patients with large lipomas in the wall of the cecum, causing intussusception. Endoscopy is the preferred
modality for small lipomas, whereas CT and MR imaging are more useful in their ability in detecting fatty masses and assessing
the location of lesions. Barium enema study may contribute to the preoperative planning in selected cases.

Two cases of symptomatic, surgically proven left paraduodenal hernias were shown with computed tomography (CT) imaging. A
small bowel loop was seen behind the pancreatic tail in one case, and a ring-oriented bowel loop was shown between the transverse
colon and the left adrenal gland in the other.

Background: The objective of this study was to determine if spiral computed tomography (CT) results in increased rate of detection of
focal hepatic nodules containing iodized oil after transcatheter oily chemoembolization when compared with conventional CT.
Methods: Spiral CT with single 24-s breath-hold technique was compared with conventional sequential CT in 42 patients with suspected
hepatocellular carcinomas. Two sets of CT scans obtained after transcatheter oily chemoembolization were independently reviewed
by two radiologists. The slice thickness was 10 mm for both data sets. The number and sizes of focal hepatic nodules containing
iodized oil were documented. All 42 patients had at least one hepatic nodule. The lesion size varied from 2 mm to 12 cm.
Results: In six of the 42 patients, more hepatic nodules could be identified on spiral CT compared with conventional CT. When scans
with spiral CT were used, 107 nodules were detected, whereas 98 nodules were detected with conventional CT. Overall, nine
(9%) more nodules were detected with spiral CT (<+>p= .002). If lesions larger than 2 cm are excluded, nine (15%) more lesions were detected with spiral CT (<+>p= .002).
Conclusion: Spiral CT results in increased rate of detection of focal hepatic nodules after transcatheter oily chemoembolization, particularly
in lesions smaller than 2 cm.

Background: Restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch has become the surgical treatment of choice for patients with ulcerative colitis
(UC) and familial polyposis of the colon. Defecography is the radiological technique commonly employed to obtain detailed
information on function and morphology of the ileal pouch; it allows the direct visualization of the ileal pouch and the anal
canal, but it does not provide the visualization of the pelvis.
Methods: In all patients, computed tomography (CT) on coronal planes was performed to determine its possibilities as an alternative
to defecography; 10 patients with UC submitted to restorative proctocolectomy and were examined.
Results: Coronal CT images provided a panoramic vision of the pelvis and demonstrated the morphology of the ileal pouch, the thickness
of its walls, and its correlation with the surrounding tissues. Coronal CT also allowed the evaluation of the continence of
ileo-anal and ileo-ileal anastomosis and the functional changes of the perineal muscles at rest and during squeezing.
Conclusion: CT images acquired on coronal planes allows an easy and clear detection of the major postoperative complications, such as
stenosis or dehiscences of the anastomosis, pelvic phlogosis, and fistulae.

A complex mass confined to the gallbladder found on CT is unusual, but nor rare, with causes including benign inflammatory
disease, early primary carcinoma and metastases. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is rare and Hodgkin's disease, prior to the current
case, unheard of involving just the gallbladder. Thus, this should be considered part of the differential diagnosis of a complex
gallbladder mass.

Enhancement of ascitic fluid on delayed contrast-enhanced CT has been described as a potential pitfall in diagnosis. We present
a case in which the phenomenon was beneficial to diagnosis. Enhancement of ascites was useful in delineating the entire extent
of a cystic pelvic mass. We also discuss probable molecular and histologic mechanisms responsible for this unique type of
enhancement.

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate patients with wedge-shaped perfusion defects seen on spiral CT arterial portography
for the presence of transient increased wedge-shaped enhancement on dynamic gadolinium-enhanced gradient echo MR images.
Methods: Nineteen patients underwent CTAP and MRI within a 2-week interval. All patients with wedge-shaped perfusion defects on CT
arterial portography were evaluated in a separate review session for the presence of transient increased segmental hepatic
enhancement on dynamic gadolinium-enhanced spoiled gradient echo (SGE) MR images.
Results: Eight patients were identified to have subsegmental, segmental, or lobar wedge-shaped perfusion defects by CT arterial portography.
In 8/8 patients, there was transient wedge-shaped increased hepatic enhancement on MR images which corresponded to the perfusion
defects identified on CT arterial portography. Transient increased enhancement on MR images was observed on immediate postgadolinium
images as high-signal intensity of the involved subsegment, segment, or lobe. This relatively high-signal area faded to near
isointensity in all cases on images obtained at 45 s.
Conclusion: Wedge-shaped perfusion defects demonstrated by CT arterial portography corresponded to wedge-shaped increased hepatic enhancement
following gadolinium administration on SGE MR images.

We defined computed tomographic (CT) criteria of vascular involvement by pancreatic carcinoma and used these criteria to
assess vascular involvement in 56 patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma. CT of the pancreas was performed at 1.5-mm section
thickness and 5-mm section intervals during a bolus phase of intravenous contrast enhancement. The type of vascular involvement
was correlated with surgical and pathologic findings. When there was fat-plane (type A) or normal pancreatic parenchyma (type
B) separating the tumor from adjacent vessels, the tumor could be resected without venous resection in 21 of 22 patients (95%).
When the tumor was inseparable from the vessels but the points of contact formed a convexity against the vessel (type C),
CT was not reliable in predicting whether or not the tumor was fixed against the vessel. When the tumor was partially encircling
(type D) the vessel, the tumor was fixed against the vessels in most cases. The resectable rate was 47%, but resection would
also require venous resection. When the tumor was completely encircling (type E) or occluding (type F<+>) the vessel, all
tumors were not resectable with a negative margin. Thin-section CT with bolus intravenous contrast enhancement improved the
ability to assess vascular involvement in pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

A case of renal granular cell carcinoma with inferior vena cava and right atrium involvement is presented. Spin-echo and
single breath-hold gradient-recalled-echo magnetic resonance pulse sequences demonstrate a patchy flow signal within the cavoatrial
thrombus. This pattern, in correlation with the histopathologic findings, represents tumoral neovascularity characteristic
of renal carcinoma venous invasion, which was previously reported by angiography, computed tomography, and color Doppler duplex
ultrasound.

A case of a 19-year-old male with a paraganglioma (pheochromocytoma) arising in the prostate and involving the urinary bladder
is presented. The radiological studies, including computed tomography, demonstrated ringlike calcification of the tumor, a
rare finding that is highly suggestive of the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma. The tumor was excised and found to be malignant
at surgery.

Demonstration of peritoneopleural communication in patients with cirrhotic ascites has an important impact on treatment planning.
We studied 12 such patients and found presence of peritoneopleural communication in five. Two had bilateral, one right-side
and two left-side, pleural effusion. Pleural fluid protein content was less than 2 g/dL in all patients.

A case of jaundice due to obstruction of Roux en Y-limb following hepatectomy for a hilar cholangiocarcinoma is presented.
Percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage improved the jaundice but promoted disseminated intravascular coagulopathy. Our
limited experience suggested that afferent loops should be drained directly to prevent reflux of enteric contents into the
biliary system.

A case report of complete testicular feminization is presented. The medical and radiological characteristics of this condition
which distinguish it from male cryptorchidism and other disorders of sexual differentiation are discussed. To our knowledge,
only three previous case reports have been published in the radiology literature. Our report is the first to describe MRI
findings.

Recurrence of traditionally treated appendicitis is rarely reported but known to surgeons and is probably underestimated.
We described a case, illustrated by CT, of stump abscess 2 years after laparoscopic appendectomy. Sonography and CT are helpful
in detecting pericecal changes, but diagnosis is confirmed by laparotomy.

We reviewed the clinical and radiological features in eight patients with spontaneous rectus sheath hematoma (RSH). The diagnosis
was confirmed at surgery in four patients, and spontaneous resolution occurred in the other four. All patients were elderly
adults. Acute abdominal pain and a palpable mass after muscular strain, such as coughing or twisting, were features highly
suggestive of RSH. Sonographically, these hematomas may be confused with abdominal wall tumors. On CT scans, a hyperdense
mass posterior to the rectus abdominis muscle with ipsilateral anterolateral muscular enlargement is considered characteristic
of acute RSH, although chronic RSH may be isodense or hypodense relative to the surrounding muscle. MRI is very useful in
the diagnosis of RSH, which is demonstrated as a high signal intensity area on both T1- and T2-weighted images, especially
when the CT findings are not specific for RSH.
