Hydrothorax, ascites and an abdominal mass: not always signs of a malignancy - Three cases of Meigs' syndrome
This case report presents three cases of Meigs ' syndrome: a benign ovarian tumor with ascites and a hydrothorax. After removal of the ovarian tumor, the symptoms resolved and the patients became asymptomatic. In daily practice, Meigs ' syndrome is at first sight often mistaken for ovarian cancer. With this case report we would like to emphasize that the clinical presentation of an ovarian tumor might be ovarian cancer, but can masquerade as something uncommon like Meigs ' syndrome. In a time span of two years we encountered three cases. (Source: Journal of Radiology Case Reports)

Cesarean-Section Scar Endometrioma: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
We report a pathology-confirmed case of Cesarean-section endometrioma with a clas sic, clinical presentation and imaging findings on computed tomography. A comprehensive literature review and discussion of the multi-modality imaging appearance of Cesarean-section endometrioma is also provided. (Source: Journal of Radiology Case Reports)

Duplex collecting system in a pelvic kidney - an unusual combination
We present a case of a young woman with a history of hypertension in whom a pelvic and dysmorphic left kidney was discovered during ultrasound examination performed for the study of the renal arteries. Magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography imaging revealed a duplex pelvic kidney. This combination is very rare; we have not found a similar case reported in the literature.

Renal Myxoma in a Pediatric Transplant Recipient
We report the case of a renal myxoma in a 17-year-old boy ’s transplant kidney that wasfound as an incidental mass on ultrasonographyand further evaluated with CT and PET scans. PET findings ofarenal myxoma are reported here for the first time, and imaging findings from previous cases are briefly reviewed. This case report highlights the fact that adult-predominant tumors and pathology should always be a consideration in pediatric patients who receive organ transplants from adult donors.

Glenohumeral Joint Sepsis after Joint Injection through a New Tattoo
We report a case ofPropionibacterium acnes septic arthritis of a shoulder following two joint access procedures. Methodical investigation of these two procedures was performed using the Joint Commission root cause analysis matrix, which involved examination of protocols, interviews with technologists and physicians, and inspection of the procedure rooms and equipment. No procedural error or other causal factor for infection was found other than the injection through a five day-old tattoo during the first procedure. We could find no other reported cases ofPropionibacterium acnes seeding a joint via an arthrogram needle. Thi...

Multimodal Imaging for the Assessment of a Cardiac Mass - A Case of Primary Cardiac Sarcoma
We present a case of an 85-year-old patient who underwent clinical work-up for chronic heart failure, acute coronary syndrome, and pulmonary embolism, until she was diagnosed with a cardiac mass that was histologically identified as sarcoma. The aim of this educational case report is to raise awareness of cardiac masses and to point out diagnostic hints towards a cardiac tumor on chest X-ray, coronary angiography, echocardiography, and chest CT. Moreover, the vital role of cardiac magnetic resonance for the diagnosis of a cardiac mass is highlighted. (Source: Journal of Radiology Case Reports)

Skull base and craniocervical bone pneumatisation: two case reports of differing presentations and a review of the literature
We report two patients with increased central skull base and craniocervical junction bone pneumatisation complicated by extra-osseous gas. One patient presented with symptoms of increasing nasal blockage and ' sinus pressure ' on a background of extensive nasal polyposis. He was subsequently found to have a history of repeated Valsalva ' s manoeuvre, the cessation of which resulted in a rapid decrease in the amount of extra-osseous gas on imaging. The second patient presented following a minor head trauma with dysarthria from a hypoglossal nerve palsy and neck pain, with extensive intra- and extra-cranial gas including wit...
