This has been rarely described in the medical literature. This case report presents a 48-year-old woman with newly diagnosed breast cancer and an isolated splenic metastasis diagnosed by ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA). Radiologic...

Pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis (PLCH) is an uncommon disorder of adult smokers associated with a significant morbidity. Arising from the aberrant accumulation of Langerhans and other immune cells, PLCH tends to cause a relatively isolated pulmonary involvement as compared to other forms of Langerhans cell (LC) and histiocytic disorders. Increased knowledge of cytokine triggers, dendrit...

Reports on clinical and radiologic aspects of neuro-Behçet syndrome (NBS) are in general limited in number. Our purpose was to determine the MR patterns in patients with NBS who had neural parenchymal involvement an...

Retroperitoneal schwannomas are quite rare tumors. Isolated renal hydatid cyst is also rare, and it forms 2-4% of hydatid disease. Because of their infrequent occurrence, nonspecific signs and symptoms, and lack of distinguishing radiologic features, we report herein a case of right retroperitoneal mass in a 26-year-old woman which was found to be benign schwannoma following a percutaneous core...

Aspergillosis involving central nervous system (CNS) is known to occur frequently in the immunocompromised individual owing to increased invasive feature of the disease and decreased host defense capacity(1, 2). The common pathway of CNS aspergillosis is hematogenous dissemination usually from lung or continuous extension from adjacent structures such as sinonasal cavity (3, 4). Therefore, the ...
