Multimodality Characterization of Interatrial Cyst

Bronchogenic cyst of the interatrial septum

Bronchogenic cyst is considered as an uncommon congenital anomaly. It can be mostly found in mediastinum or lung. Intracardiac bronchogenic cyst is very rare. We found 2 cases in more than 20000 cardiac surgical cases in our department. The 2 cases bronchogenic cyst arose from interatrial septum (IAS), the preoperative diagnosis were myxoma, but the histological diagnosis were bronchogenic cyst...

Cardiac cyst hydatid: a multimodality approach.

An intramyocardial ‘cyst-like’ mass: Complementary role of multimodality imaging

A 28-year-old female who had been diagnosed with Kawasaki disease at the age of 5, presented to our clinic with the complaint of shortness of breath on exertion. The ECG showed 0.5 mm ST depression and negative T waves in V2-V4 derivations (Fig. 1). Two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography revealed normal left ventricle dimensions with an ejection fraction of 60%. There was a unilocular, ...

Tailgut Cyst and Perineal Hydatid Cyst: A Case Report with Multimodality Imaging Findings

A tailgut cyst is a rare developmental lesion and usually is located in the retrorectal or presacral space. Extrahepatic hydatid disease has been reported in several locations including the pelvis and it often poses a diagnostic challenge. There are very few reported cases of primary perineal hydatid cysts. We present the multimodality imaging findings of a tailgut cyst and concurrent perineal ...

Multimodality Characterization of a Bone-Metastasis Model

Introduction: Bone metastases are established when cancer cells reach the bone marrow through blood vessels in Haversian canals, extravasate, multiply, and eventually neovascularize. Metastatic bone lesions can be classified as osteolytic, osteoblastic and mixed. In osteolytic lesions, which are the most common, bone destruction outstrips the laying down of new bone. Osteoblastic lesions result...
