Erdheim‐Chester Disease with atrial mass and perinephric calcification

Erdheim-Chester Disease is a multi-systemic condition characterized by non-Langerhans histiocytic infiltration. Cardiovascular involvement with pseudotumoral infiltration of the right atrium is present in approximately one-third of patients and may be asymptomatic. Although retroperitoneal fibrosis is common, perinephric dystrophic calcification has not been previously described.

Cerebellar calcification in central neurofibromatosis: CT in two cases.

Manifestations of central von Recklinghausen 's neurofibromatosis are well known and may include bilateral acoustic neuromas in the absence of peripheral neurofibromatosis or associated gliomas, meningiomas, other cranial nerve neuromas, optic nerve gliomas, and ependymomas [1]. A few reports deal specifically with the cranial CT findings in central neurofibromatosis [2-4]. One series [3] inclu...

Central nervous system cryptococcosis: parenchymal calcification and large gelatinous pseudocysts.

In an 11-year-old immunocompetent girl with protracted cryptococcal infection of the central nervous system, CT showed multiple areas of parenchymal calcification. MR imaging showed large gelatinous pseudocysts around the brain stem. These imaging features and the child's age are unusual for intracranial cryptococcosis.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease severity, central fat mass and adinopectin: a close relationship.

AIM Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disease in the general population. Overweight is a common condition in patients with NAFLD, and body composition (BC) assessment is useful to evaluate nutritional status and the efficacy of nutritional strategies. A valid tool for assessing BC is dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Adiponectin has been shown to b...
