In this report, we present computed tomographic findings of colonic trichuriasis. The patient was a 75-year-old man who complained of abdominal pain, and weight loss. Diagnosis was achieved by colonoscopic biopsy. Abdominal computed tomography showed irregular and nodular thickening of the wall of the cecum and ascending colon. Although these findings are nonspecific, they may be one of the findings of trichuriasis. These findings, confirmed by pathologic analysis of the biopsied tissue and Kato-Katz parasitological stool flotation technique, revealed adult Trichuris. To our knowledge, this is the first report of colonic trichuriasis indicated by computed tomography. 相似文献

Computed tomographic findings of ruptured hepatic malignancy. 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Massive hemorrhage from ruptured hepatocellular carcinoma is uncommon. We report our experience in three cases of ruptured hepatocellular carcinoma diagnosed by computed tomography (CT). CT was useful in detecting ruptured hepatocellular carcinoma showing the parenchymal tumor per se, defining the extent of the hematoma, and showing serial density changes with the age of the hematomas. 相似文献

Computed tomographic findings in bowel ischemia 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Computed tomography (CT) has been used in the evaluation of 11 patients with ischemic bowel lesions before confirmation of the disease with surgery or autopsy. The CT abnormalities were thickened bowel wall (10 patients) with post-contrast enhancement (9 patients), dilated fluid-filled bowel (9 patients), intramural low attenuation zones (5 patients), intramural gas (8 patients), and focal or diffuse free intraperitoneal fluid (5 patients). The diagnosis of bowel ischemia should be considered when performing CT in patients with abdominal pain of unknown etiology. 相似文献

Computed tomographic findings in leiomyoma, leiomyosarcoma and benign leiomyoblastoma of the stomach are discussed. Gastroscopic biopsy was unsuccessful in every case, but CT was able to show the extragastric extension in all tumors. In one case, gastric leiomyoma and renal hypernephroma occurred simultaneously. Both tumors showed similar contrast medium enhancement, leading to a misdiagnosis. 相似文献

Female genital tuberculosis (FGTB) is a common cause of infertility in developing countries. It can manifest as menstrual disturbances, infertility and pelvic masses.ObjectiveTo evaluate the role of computed tomography in diagnosis of female genital tuberculosis with tubo-ovarian (adnexal) masses.MethodsIt was a prospective study over a four year period (July 2015 to August 2019) in a tertiary referral centre over 33 patients presenting with tuberculosis and tubo ovarian masses only. 75 total cases of FGTB diagnosed on composite reference standard (evaluation of AFB bacilli in microscopy or culture or endometrial biopsy, gene expert, epitheloid granulomas on endometrial biopsy or definitive or possible findings of FGTB on laparoscopy). Detailed history taken, clinical examination, baseline investigations and endometrial biopsy were done in all cases. Computed tomography was performed in women presenting with infertility, tubo ovarian masses on clinical examination and laboratory investigations. A total of 33 cases were evaluated.ResultsMean age, body mass index, parity and history of TB contact were 27.5 ± 4.2 year, 22.7 ± 3.6 kg/m2, 0.27 ± 0.13 and 44.4% respectively. Infertility was primary in 72.72% and secondary in 27.23%. Case wise mean duration being 5.8 years, menstrual dysfunction was seen in 45.45% cases. Abdominal discomfort with pain and lump were seen in all 33 (100%) cases. Abdominal lumps were felt in 4 (12.12%) cases while adnexal mass was seen in all 33 (100%) cases being unilateral in 18 (54.54%) and bilateral in 15 (45.45%). Mean ESR was 33.4mm in first hour while mean leucocyte count was 6128 ± 2854 per cubic mm. Infectious mantoux test (>10mm) was seen in 14 (42.82%) cases while abnormal X ray chest was seen in 9 (27.27%) cases.Diagnosis of FGTB was made by positive AFB n microscopy or culture of endometrial biopsy in 5 (15.15%) cases, positive gene expert in 6 (18.18%) cases, positive polymerase chain reaction in 32 (96.96%) cases, epitheloid granulomas on histopathology of endometrial biopsy in 7 (21.21%) cases, definitive findings of tuberculosis in 15 (45.45%) cases and a possible findings of tuberculosis inn 18 (54.54%) cases. Various CT findings were pelvic mass (100%), unilateral pelvic mass in 18 (54.54%), bilateral pelvic mass in 15 (45.45%), cystic mass (24.2%), solid mass (21.2%), mixed mass (54.54%), mass showing multilocular caseous necrotic enhancements (12.12%), ascites (42.4%), thickening and enhancement of peritoneum in 14 (42.42%), nodules in 24.2%, smooth in 18.8%, pelvic adhesion in 6 (18.18%), lymphadenopathy in 8 (24.3%) with calcifications (9.09%) and central necrosis (52.5%). Other CT findings were thickening and enhancement of bowel wall (12.12%), hepatic TB (3.03%), splenic TB (3.03%), omental thickening (9.09%) and omental calcification (3.03%) cases.ConclusionComputed tomography appears to be a useful diagnostic modality in diagnosis of tuberculosis tubo ovarian masses and may help avoid unnecessary surgery. 相似文献

Abstract The entity of non-specific interstitial pneumonia/fibrosis (NIP) has recently been recognized as an addition to the current classification of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia, which includes usual interstitial pneumonia, desquamative interstitial pneumonia, diffuse alveolar damage, and bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia. We studied the computed tomographic (CT) findings of nine NIP patients who were diagnosed pathologically. The main findings were ground glass opacities (66.7%), airspace consolidation (88.9%) and reticular opacities (89.7%), distributed predominantly in the bilateral and lower lung. In all cases, the clinical and abnormal opacification observed on the chest CT was improved by the administration of corticosteroid. Both the subpleural and patchy distributed opacifications predominantly in the bilateral and lower lung, and the good response to treatment may help to differentiate non-specific interstitial pneumonia from other types of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia. 相似文献

Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is not an infrequent fatal neoplasm. It is endemically present in some regions of Turkey due to its aetiological relationship to exposure to environmental fibrous minerals. The aim of this study was to determine the thorax computed tomographic (CT) features of environmental asbestos-related MPM. In this study, we examined retrospectively the CT scans of 46 untreated patients with pathological diagnosis of environmental asbestos-related MPM among 151 patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma in the İzmir Chest Disease and Surgery Hospital. The CT scans were interpreted by consultation of four observers. Malignant pleural mesothelioma was unilateral in 45 (97.2%) of the patients. Pleural effusions were found in 42 (91%) of the patients, pleural calcifications in 12 (26%), contracted hemithorax in 14 (30%), interlobar fissure involvement in 25 (54%) and mediastinal pleural involvement in 26 (57%). A contracted hemithorax was significantly correlated with pleural rind configuration. Pleural thickenings were found in 45 (99%) of the patients. Pleural thickenings were in the form of nodularity in 10 (22%) cases, regular in 12 (27%) cases, as a focal mass in 3 (7%) cases and as a pleural rind in 20 (44%) cases. Pleural thickening was greater than 1 cm in 32 (71%) cases. The most common CT findings in our series were unilateral circumferential pleural thickening, nodular pleural thickening, pleural thickening greater than 1 cm and mediastinal pleural involvement. Generally, pleural effusion was accompanied by this. There was interlobar fissure involvement in half of the patients. There was no pathognomonic CT finding in environmental asbestos-related MPM. But CT was useful in suggesting the diagnosis of malignant pleural disease in the cases with MPM. 相似文献

Computed tomographic colonography is a modern technique to evaluate the colon, which may be more appealing to patients than invasive methods. The potential of this test, including current and future developments are presented in this review. The essential steps required to perform a diagnostic quality computed tomographic colonography are discussed as well as different methods of study interpretation. The current status and promising areas of future investigation are also discussed. 相似文献

Computed tomographic colonography 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Computed tomographic colonography, also called virtual colonoscopy, is an evolving technology under evaluation as a new method of screening for colorectal cancer. However, its performance as a test has varied widely across studies, and the reasons for these discrepancies are poorly defined. We provide an overview of some potential causes and discuss the available, often indirect, evidence. In addition, several other obstacles that may influence implementation are discussed. Future investigations should demonstrate the influence of these potential factors on sensitivity of computed tomographic colonography. Despite a growing body of evidence, it remains uncertain to what extent patient acceptance, radiation issues, flat lesions, and extracolonic findings will be a stumbling block to using computed tomographic colonography for colorectal cancer screening. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: The term Boerhaave's syndrome refers to esophageal rupture after a sudden increase in intraluminal pressure. This syndrome is most common among alcoholic adult men. This case report is that of a pediatric patient with a similar pathologic process. STUDY: A 6-month-old Hispanic boy with acute lymphoblastic leukemia on chemotherapy arrested 3 weeks into his induction therapy. Diagnostic and therapeutic procedures revealed a hydropneumothorax, which was managed with chest tube drainage. The underlying etiology was revealed 10 days later when feeds were introduced and found exiting the chest tube. A contrast study confirmed esophageal perforation, which was surgically repaired. CONCLUSION: A nontraumatic hydropneumothorax should raise the possibility of Boerhaave's syndrome (spontaneous esophageal rupture), even in pediatric patients. Such a finding warrants a contrast study to facilitate early diagnosis. 相似文献

Computed tomography was used to identify the characteristic appearances of histologically confirmed cardiac amyloidosis in two patients. Mean myocardial density and 95% confidence limits in one of these patients (30.6 +/- 3.4 Hounsfield units (HU) ) were significantly lower than in patients with diffuse hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (range from 38.8 +/- 5.7 HU to 45.9 +/- 4.4 HU) and normal myocardium (range from 41.9 +/- 4.3 HU to 44.8 +/- 4.4 HU) on pre-contrast computed tomograms. Although only an approximate myocardial density was obtained in the second patient with amyloidosis, a similar result (30 HU) was noted on pre-contrast tomograms. Diffuse thickening of the interventricular septum and left ventricular free wall was found in both patients. Myocardial density on post-contrast computed tomograms was 102.8 +/- 5.2 HU in one patient and approximately 100 HU in the other. A pericardial effusion was noted in the first patient. A low myocardial density on pre-contrast tomograms and diffuse myocardial thickening on post-contrast tomograms are considered to be important features of cardiac amyloidosis. 相似文献
