Incidental Cystic Lymphangioma of the Small Bowel Mesentery
Brindley David Cupido, Gavin LowJournal of Clinical Imaging Science 2015 5(1):55-55Lymphangiomas are benign lesions of mesenchymal origin. Although more commonly encountered in the head and neck, intra-abdominal lymphangiomas are a rare entity that typically present as multiloculated intra-abdominal cystic lesions that are often incidentally discovered on imaging. This case report discusses such a case. (Source: Journal of Clinical Imaging Science)

A Case of Secondary Angiosarcoma of the Breast after Breast-conserving Surgery and Radiation: Review of Radiologic and Pathologic Findings
We present a case of an 80-year-old woman who developed secondary angiosarcoma after undergoing breast-conserving therapy for Stage IA breast cancer. In this article, we review our experience with a case of secondary angiosarcoma of the breast and discuss the presentation, evaluation, and treatment of this disease. This case demonstrates the importance of vigilance regarding erythematous or papular breast lesions in the setting of prior local radiation. (Source: Journal of Clinical Imaging Science)

Intrapetrous Anastomosis between the Internal Jugular Vein and the Superior Petrosal Sinus: Cone Beam Computed Tomography Incidental Finding
Ilson Sepúlveda, Thomas Schmidt, Enrique PlatínJournal of Clinical Imaging Science 2015 5(1):46-46This is a case report of a 62-year-old male who presented to the Ear, Nose, and Throat clinic for a follow-up exam for hearing loss stemming from a fall from a horse in his infancy. A Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) examination revealed an intrapetrous communication between the internal jugular vein bulb and the superior petrosal sinus. Three-dimensional bone and soft tissues volume renderings were generated to demonstrate this incidental anatomical variant. (Source: Journal of Clinical Imaging Science)

Malignant Transformation of Hepatic Adenoma in Glycogen Storage Disease Type-1a: Report of an Exceptional Case Diagnosed on Surveillance Imaging
We report a case of malignant transformation of hepatic adenoma without overexpression of β-catenin in a 31-year-old man with a known glycogen storage disease (GSD) Type-1a, which was diagnosed on surveillance magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The MRI showed a mild interval increase in one lesion with relative stability of the other adenomas. The lesion was presumed to be suspicious for a hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and was confirmed on pathology. (Source: Journal of Clinical Imaging Science)

Identification of Cardiac and Aortic Injuries in Trauma with Multi-detector Computed Tomography
Arvind K Shergill, Tishan Maraj, Mark S Barszczyk, Helen Cheung, Navneet Singh, Anna E ZavodniJournal of Clinical Imaging Science 2015 5(1):48-48Blunt and penetrating cardiovascular (CV) injuries are associated with a high morbidity and mortality. Rapid detection of these injuries in trauma is critical for patient survival. The advent of multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) has led to increased detection of CV injuries during rapid comprehensive scanning of stabilized major trauma patients. MDCT has the ability to acquire images with a higher temporal and spatial resolution, as well as the capability to create multipl...

Multiple Mycotic Aneurysms of the Abdominal Aorta Illustrated on MDCT Scanner
Amit Nandan Dhar Dwivedi, Ananthakrishnan Srinivasan, Shivi JainJournal of Clinical Imaging Science 2015 5(1):49-49Infective mycotic aneurysm of the aorta is a rare and life-threatening disease. A patient presenting with constitutional symptoms and pulsatile abdominal mass should raise a suspicion of mycotic aneurysm. Early detection of aortic mycotic lesions in such patients should play a key role in the treatment of aortic aneurysms. Multiple mycotic aneurysms of abdominal aorta in a young male are a rare manifestation of the disease. Multidetector computerized tomography (CT) is an essential tool in identifying the etio...

Radiologic-Pathologic Correlation: Metastatic Pulmonary Epithelioid Hemangioendothelioma of Bone Primary
Christine U Lee, Riyam T Zreik, Jennifer M Boland, Mariah L WhiteJournal of Clinical Imaging Science 2015 5(1):50-50Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma is a rare vascular malignancy often characterized by a clinically indolent course and delayed diagnosis. The authors present the radiologic and pathologic features of a case of pulmonary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma which was initially thought to be calcified granulomas.

Novel Method to Improve Radiologist Agreement in Interpretation of Serial Chest Radiographs in the ICU
Conclusion: Numerous factors play a role in image acquisition and image quality, which can contribute to poor consistency and reliability of portable chest radiographic interpretations. Radiologists' agreement of image interpretation can be improved by use of a novel method consisting of a VAP and associated software and has the potential to improve patient care.

Corticosteroid Responsive Sarcoidosis with Multisystemic Involvement Years after Initial Diagnosis: A Lymphoma Mimicker on 18-FDG PET/CT
Turker Acar, Recep Savas, Kenan Kocacelebi, Eyup Sabri UcanJournal of Clinical Imaging Science 2015 5(1):40-40Sarcoidosis is a chronic multisystemic inflammatory disease characterized by noncaseating epithelioid cell granulomas. 18-Fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography/computer tomography (FDG-PET/CT) is increasingly used in routine clinical practice to assess active sarcoidosis because it can detect active inflammatory granulomatous disease. However, active sarcoidosis lesions are observed to be hypermetabolic on FDG-PET/CT much like malignancies, which may lead to misinterpretation on imaging. In this case repo...

Pilomyxoid Astrocytoma Occurring in the Third Ventricle
We report a case of a 24-year-old man who presented with headache, nausea, and vomiting. Brain CT and MRI revealed a mass occupying only the third ventricle. We performed partial resection. Histological findings, including monophasic growth with a myxoid background, and absence of Rosenthal fibers or eosinophilic granular bodies, as well as the strong positivity for glial fibrillary acidic protein were consistent with PMA.

Back to Basics - 'Must Know' Classical Signs in Thoracic Radiology
The objective behind the association between such common objects and the corresponding pathologies is to make the reader understand and remember the disease process. These signs do not necessarily indicate a particular disease, but are usually suggestive of a group of similar pathologies which will facilitate in the narrowing down of the differential diagnosis. These signs can be seen in different imaging modalities like plain radiograph and computed tomography. In this essay, we describe 24 classical radiological signs used in chest imaging, which would be extremely helpful in routine clinical practice not only for radiol...

Pulmonary Tumor Thrombotic Microangiopathy: Clinical, Radiologic, and Histologic Correlation
In this report, we present a case of PTTM presenting as the initial manifestation of metastatic gastric carcinoma in a young man. Although unusual in its occurrence as the initial manifestation of gastric carcinoma, the case is illustrative in its clinical, radiological and histological presentation.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Non-ischemic Cardiomyopathies: A Pictorial Essay
Cristina I Olivas-Chacon, Carola Mullins, Kevan Stewart, Nassim Akle, Jesus E Calleros, Luis R Ramos-DuranJournal of Clinical Imaging Science 2015 5(1):37-37Non-ischemic cardiomyopathies are defined as either primary or secondary diseases of the myocardium resulting in cardiac dysfunction. While primary cardiomyopathies are confined to the heart and can be genetic or acquired, secondary cardiomyopathies show involvement of the heart as a manifestation of an underlying systemic disease including metabolic, inflammatory, granulomatous, infectious, or autoimmune entities. Non-ischemic cardiomyopathies are currently classified...
