Sonographic diagnosis of a solitary intramuscular cysticercal cyst.

We present a rare case of a solitary cysticercal cyst that involved the anterior abdominal wall musculature and was diagnosed with sonography. Sonograms revealed a small, well-defined, elliptical cystic lesion with an eccentric hyperechoic area within it. An eccentric, echogenic, pedunculated structure was seen within the cystic area of the lesion. No calcification was apparent. The lesion was surrounded by inflammation in the muscle. Hypervascularity in the surrounding muscle was noted on color Doppler imaging. If lesions with similar morphologic characteristics are encountered in the musculature or subcutaneous tissues during sonographic examination for another condition, one should suspect cysticercosis.

MRI findings of retrobulbar myxoma-- a case report.

Myxomas are benign soft tissue neoplasms, which usually involve the heart, skin and subcutaneous tissues, and rarely the ocular adnexa. We present a rare case of orbital myxoma with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings and a review of the literature.

Two-phase dynamic contrast-enhanced computed tomography with water-filling method for staging of gastric carcinoma.

The objective of the study was to evaluate the usefulness of two-phase incremental contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) with water-filling method in the preoperative assessment of stomach carcinoma. Dynamic CT was done in 20 patients with biopsy-proven gastric cancers and the findings were compared with surgery. A 150-ml ionic contrast medium was administered intravenously at a flow rate of 3.5 ml/s. CT scanning was done at 45 s (early phase) and 3 min (equilibrium phase) after the start of intravenous injection. Primary tumors were detected in all the cases. The overall accuracies of dynamic CT in determining depth of tumor invasion, pancreatic invasion, adjacent liver infiltration, and lymph node metastasis were 85% (17/20), 90% (18/20), 85% (17/20), and 69% (13/19), respectively. The early phase of dynamic CT is highly accurate in determining the depth of tumor invasion of advanced gastric cancers but has low sensitivity in the detection of nodal metastasis. The delayed phase scans do not add any additional information and hence, should not be routinely used for staging.
