Gallbladder cancer is a malignant tumor with high mortality. Early diagnosis is significance to improve the prognosis of patients. Gallbladder adenoma is recognized as a kind of precancerous disease, for the past few years, contrast-enhanced ultrasound was used in the diagnosis of biliary tumors. This case is about gallbladder papillary adenoma with carcinogenesis. There is rare literature on the contrast-enhanced ultrasound manifestations of this type of disease. We hope that this report can help improve the recognition of contrast-enhanced ultrasound features and improve the accuracy of early diagnosis of gallbladder cancer.

Duodenal neuroendocrine tumors are rare neoplasms arising from endocrine cells. Here we present a case of 32-year-old woman with Duodenal neuroendocrine tumors, report the imaging and contrast-enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS) features and review previous literatures of neuroendocrine tumors, which may be valuable for the differential diagnosis of duodenal neoplasms.

High flow priapism caused by perineal trauma is a relatively rare disorder. Early diagnosis represents a mandatory condition for the therapeutic resolution. Ultrasound examination is affordable and a within reach method for diagnosis also in an emergency context. We present the case of a 56-year-old male patient with traumatic priapism which was subsequently investigated by contrast-enhanced ultrasound and shear wave elastography. This may be one of the first cases presented in the literature

In North America and Europe, syphilis incidence has increased dramatically in the past decade among high-risk groups. Syphilis may occur in any organ, including the testis. There are not many cases of testicular syphilis assessed by means ofultrasound examination described in the literature, and in no case was the evaluation carried out using advanced ultrasound techniques. Here we present a case of testicular syphilis evaluated by contrast-enhanced ultrasound.

BACKGROUND: Recurrence or metastasis after surgery had been reported in hepatic epithelioid angiomylipoma (epi-AML). Most hepatic epi-AMLs were misdiagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma or other hepatic tumors before surgery. OBJECTIVE: To describe the baseline and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) features of hepatic epi-AMLs and to explore the potential ultrasonic features for prognosis. METHODS: The retrospective study enrolled 67 patients (56 females, 11 males) with 67 pathologically confirmed hepatic epi-AML lesions. All the lesions were examined by baseline ultrasound and 42 lesions were examined using CEUS with SonoVue (Bracco, Milan, Italy) before surgery. RESULTS: Baseline ultrasound features of hepatic epi-AMLs included heterogeneous echo (86.6%), well-defined border (68.7%), hypoecho (64.2%), regular morphology (62.7%), peripheral-tumor arc-shaped or ring-like vessels (53.7%), and low value of resistive index (0.51±0.08). CEUS features of hepatic epi-AMLs included arterial phase hyper-enhancement with smooth and well-defined margin (100%), peripheral-tumor ring-like vessels (57.1%), and intra-tumor vessels (52.4%). Some CEUS features, including arterial phase heterogeneously tortuous filling, intra-tumor vessels and peripheral-tumor ring-like vessels were more commonly found in hepatic epi-AMLs of uncertain malignant potential/malignant than in benign hepatic epi-AMLs (p <  0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Baseline ultrasound and CEUS features may be useful in diagnosis of hepatic epi-AML, and some CEUS features may be indicative of its malignant potential.
