AbstractCardiac osteosarcoma metastasis is extremely rare and is documented in several case reports in the literature. The behaviour of osteosarcoma metastases is similar to the primary tumour. Thoracic non-enhanced computed tomography (CT) examination is beneficial in the detection of calcific cardiac metastases. In this case report, we describe a 29-year-old woman with cardiac osteosarcoma metastasis after 7 years of follow-up, compare the demographic features with previous cases and discuss the imaging findings.

Purpose Our case report presents the first case of suprasellar hemangioblastoma diagnosed preoperatively with dynamic computed tomography angiography (four-dimensional [4D] CTA) in a patient without Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease. We illustrate the imaging characteristics of these exceedingly rare tumors and discuss the role of 4D CTA in confirming this diagnosis and guiding surgical management. Finally, we present a literature review of imaging findings, differential diagnosis, management, and prognosis. Case A 39-year-old woman known for diabetes mellitus type II and dyslipidemia presented with headache, bitemporal hemianopsia, and mild hyperprolactinemia. Initial diagnosis of suprasellar meningioma separate from pituitary gland was revised to definitive diagnosis of suprasellar hemangioblastoma after 4D CTA. Conclusion Suprasellar hemangioblastomas are extremely rare, often associated to VHL disease. They present as enhancing as suprasellar mass with prominent intra- and peritumoral vascular flow-voids on magnetic resonance imaging. 4D CTA confirms their vascular nature, demonstrates characteristic rapid shunting with feeding arteries, and enlarged draining veins, and is important in guiding surgical management.

The authors report imaging findings of spontaneous thymic hemorrhage, which is a rare entity in infancy, in a 4-month-old boy with congenital factor VII deficiency presented with acute respiratory distress and anemia. Widening of superior mediastinum and leftpleural effusion were detected on the chest radiograph. Ultrasound and computed tomography of the chest revealed diffusely enlarged thymus with heterogeneous parenchyma from poorly-defined areas of altered echogenicity or attenuation. Vascular flow was depicted within the abnormal thymus in color-mode sonography. Thespontaneous involution of thymic abnormality seen on serial ultrasonography confirmed the diagnosis of thymic hemorrhage, resulting in avoidance of further unnecessary imaging or invasive procedure.

Liposarcoma is a common soft tissue sarcoma. However, its occurrence in pancreas or stomach is extremely rare. In the present study, a rare case of a 55-year-old female with sclerosing liposarcoma in pancreas and stomach is presented.  Ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography examinations were performed, which revealed a pancreatic mass. Subsequently, the patient underwent surgical resection of the tail of the pancreas and spleen and partial resection of stomach following the identification of a second mass. After surgery, the patient received no adjuvant treatment. Subsequent to 3 years of clinical follow up, the patient remains alive without recurrence or distant metastasis so far. As far as we know, this is the first reported case of sclerosing liposarcoma involving pancreas and stomach.

Traumatic Head

AbstractEncephalocele is a rare condition that consists of herniation of cerebral matter through openings of dura and skull. A majority of encephaloceles are congenital and manifest in childhood. We present a case of a 45-year-old man presenting with contralateral hemiparesis and found to have an extremely rare phenomenon of a symptomatic posttraumatic parietal intradiploic encephalocele (IE) manifesting 36 years following pediatric traumatic head injury. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging confirmed herniation of brain tissue into the intradiploic space. Surgical treatment with reduction of the encephalocele achieved near resolution of preoperative hemiparesis on follow-up. The pathogenesis and a literature review of IE are discussed.
