FDG PET scan in a primitive neuroectodermal tumor.

Primitive peripheral neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) is a rare tumor that often arises in soft tissue. Magnetic resonance imaging is a good diagnostic tool that can establish the extent of disease. The utility of positron emission tomography (PET) using F-18-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) in the diagnostic work-up and staging of PNET has not been well established. We present a case of PNET of the right upper extremity that did not show FDG uptake despite its large size and aggressive nature.

Successful endoscopic treatment of mediastinal pseudocysts.

Mediastinal pseudocysts can pose a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge to the clinician and surgeon. Recognizing their presence and instituting appropriate therapy can reduce morbidity and mortality. This report describes unusual clinical features in a patient presenting with multiple mediastinal pseudocysts due to pancreatic duct leak secondary to pancreatic duct stenosis and an entrapment of a pancreatic duct stone. Successful endoscopic therapy averted the need for surgery.
