Multiple focal nodular hyperplasia: atypical imaging characteristics in the setting of hepatic steatosis.

Focal nodular hyperplasia is an uncommon, benign lesion of the liver most often affecting women of childbearing age. It can present clinically with chronic, intermittent right upper quadrant pain and nausea, with associated liver enzyme abnormalities. The presence of characteristic sonographic and computed tomography imaging findings can help to differentiate this entity from other hepatic masses. This article describes an unusual case of multifocal disease that demonstrates atypical imaging findings in the background of hepatic steatosis.

Intervertebral disk cyst: a case report.

This case describes a patient who presented with chronic low back pain which developed over the course of 1 year. Imaging revealed a 1.1-cm cystic lesion at the L4-L5 vertebral level posterior to the intervertebral disk. Following both magnetic resonance and computed tomography imaging, diagnosis of intervertebral disk cyst was confirmed by both imaging modalities. A computed tomography-guided aspiration of the lesion was performed, and the patient was given a course of steroid injections with complete resolution of the lesion.
