Rosai-Dorfman disease: unusual cause of diffuse and massive retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy.

Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD), originally described as sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy, is a rare histiocytic proliferative disorder with a distinctive microscopic appearance. Patients usually present with massive cervical lymphadenopathy. However other nodal sites (mediastinal and inguinal) are also frequently involved. The retro-peritoneum is an infrequent site of involvement. This uncommon entity should also be included in the list of differential diagnoses of diffuse and massive lymphadenopathy, which includes includes infectious/granulomatous conditions, lymphomatous and metastatic disease.

Renal lymphangiomatosis: a rare cause of bilateral nephromegaly.

We report the ultrasound, excretory urography and MR findings in a young child with renal lymphangiomatosis who presented with gradually progressive bilateral flank swelling but who was otherwise asymptomatic. The typical perirenal and parapelvic cysts are visualized as hypoechoic lesions on sonography and hyperintense on T2-weighted HASTE images. T1-weighted image could not delineate the cysts clearly. The renal parenchyma was hyperechoic on sonography, and MRI showed reversal of the normal corticomedullary signal intensity, and confirmed the diagnosis by suggesting the non-parenchymal origin of the cysts.

Small bowel tuberculosis: enteroclysis findings.

We describe the radiologic appearances of small bowel tuberculosis as shown by enteroclysis. A total of 265 patients with proven small bowel tuberculosis seen over a period of more than one decade was evaluated. All patients had positive radiologic findings as shown on enteroclysis examination. Of the 265 patients with small bowel tuberculosis, 174 had isolated small bowel involvement with a normal ileocecal region, whereas 91 had associated noncontiguous involvement of the ileocecal region. The most common radiologic finding was the presence of strictures, noted in 62.7% of cases. Most strictures were short, concentric, and smooth in outline. These strictures were solitary or multiple and located mainly in the jejunum. Other radiologic findings were adhesions (21.8%), ulcerations (9.1%), and diffuse thickening of folds (6.4%). Complications noted were in the form of enteroliths, perforations, and fistulae. The radiographic findings of small bowel tuberculosis, although non-specific, may indicate tuberculosis in a high-risk population.

Ultrasonographic detection of herniation of stomach in paraumbilical hernia.

A patient with a paraumbilical hernia containing the stomach is reported for its imaging curiosity. Ultrasonography showed a cystic mass in the anterior abdominal wall in the epigastrium with a defect in the linea alba. Evaluation by barium meal study showed complete obstruction to contrast in distal part of the stomach. On exploration, the stomach was found in the hernial sac with constriction in the body of the stomach.
