Abstract

This article reviews gray-scale and Doppler evaluation of the adexae and endometrium. Color Doppler is useful in distinguishing between cystic and solid masses. However, spectral Doppler is of limited utility in improving the gray-scale morphologic impression of a mass being either benign or malignant.

[Multiple organ resections for the surgical treatment of locally advanced colorectal cancer infiltrating the urinary tract].

The authors present data on 13 patients operated on for the treatment of locally advanced colorectal cancer infiltrating the adjacent parts of the urinary tract. Based on prior diagnostic evidences, every surgical intervention has been indicated as an expected curative resection. All patients of this study underwent a curative resection. The origin of the advanced cancer was in 9 cases the sigmoid colon, in 3 cases the rectum and in 1 case the ascending colon. Beside the resection of the tumorous colon or rectum, a resection of the urinary bladder has been performed in 9, a nephrectomy in 3 and the resection of the ureter in 2 cases. An additional gynecological resection was made in 4 cases for tumors infiltrating the female internal genitals. No mortality and no serious complication needing reoperation occurred in these series. Based on their experiences of a series of 13 radically operated cases, the authors suggest extended multiple organ resection for the treatment of advanced colorectal cancer infiltrating the urinary tract.

Ganglioneuroma mimicking ovarian tumor: a report of a case and review of the ganglioneuromas.

INTRODUCTION: Ganglioneuroma is the most common tumor of the sympathetic nervous system in the adults. It occurs most commonly in the mediastinum and retroperitoneum and are almost always benign tumors in nature. CASE REPORT: Here, we report a case of the retroperitoneal ganglioneuroma mimicking an ovarian tumor in a 20 years old female patient.

Adnexal torsion: magnetic resonance findings in the viable adnexa with emphasis on stromal ovarian appearance.

PURPOSE: To evaluate ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance (MR) findings in the viable twisted adnexa. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ten patients underwent US and MR studies before surgical detorsion. Corrected cross-sectional area of the ovary was defined as cross-sectional area minus areas of cysts and follicles superior to 1 cm. On T2-weighted images, signal intensity of the stroma was graded as type 1 when it was equal to that of urine and type 2 when it was less than that of urine but markedly more than the contralateral side. RESULTS: The tube was twisted in six cases and the ovary in nine cases. All adnexa were viable. The largest ovarian cross-sectional area and the largest corrected ovarian cross-sectional area of the twisted ovary were significantly larger than those of the contralateral ovary (P = 0.043 for US; P = 0.012 and 0.017, respectively, for MR). These ovaries contained types 1 and 2 hyperintensity in six cases and only type 2 hyperintensity in three cases. Tubal thickening was seen on MR in five cases. CONCLUSION: Tubal thickening, enlargement of ovarian stroma as reflected by the corrected cross-sectional area, and hyperintensity of this stroma on T2-weighted images probably related to edema were useful findings in these viable torsions.
