Hepatocellular carcinoma presenting with intractable diarrhea. A radiologic-pathologic correlation.

A 44-year-old woman with hepatocellular carcinoma presented with intractable watery diarrhea and her condition was evaluated angiographically. Surgical ablation of the tumor resulted in complete resolution of the diarrhea. The tumor cells of the hepatocellular carcinoma were found to contain vasoactive intestinal polypeptide, gastrin, and prostaglandinlike immunoactivity. To our knowledge, this is the first report of such an association.

Radiology of aortic dissection: pitfalls in diagnosis.

The diagnosis of aortic dissection can be made with certainty when computed tomography or aortography reveals two lumina and a intimal flap between them. If the false lumen is thrombosed, the differential diagnosis between dissection and aneurysm with intraluminal thrombus is difficult. High resolution computed tomography with dynamic scanning seems more effective in differentiating these two entities than aortography. Two illustrative cases are presented.
