Adult granulosa cell tumors (AGCTs) presenting with massive ascites and elevated serum CA-125 levels have rarely been described in the literature. An ovarian mass, massive ascites, and elevated serum CA-125 levels in postmenopausal women generally suggest a malignant ovarian tumor, particularly advanced epithelial ovarian cancer. AGCT has low (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake on positron emission...

Diffusely increased glucose metabolic activity in the right and left ventricles using 2-deoxy-2-(F-18) fluoro-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDGPET/CT) and global left ventricular hypokinesia at echocardiography can be evident in acute myocarditis. But, there has been no case report that the ventricular 18F-FDGuptake remains unchanged even ...

Primary melanomas of the penis are extremely rare, accounting for 0.18% all and less than 2% primary penile malignancies. We present a case mucosal melanoma urethra in an 82-year-old man. His partial penectomy revealed sheets spindling epithelioid tumor cells with pale eosinophilic granular cytoplasm indistinct cell borders, which invaded into corpus spongiosum. Multi-foci situ were identified ...

Neurolymphomatosis (NLY) is a type of rare disease with poor prognosis, characterized by infiltration of nerves, nerve roots and plexus. We report a case of 54-years old female patient non-diabetic and normotensive diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia presented with pain in the neck and arm and numbness in the ipsilateral hand. The patient underwent 18F fluorodeoxyglucose PET/...

18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) has recently been added as a major criterion in the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) 2015 infective endocarditis guidelines. PET/CT is currently used patients with suspected prosthetic valve and cardiac device-related endocarditis. However, value ESC classification clinical impact PET findings are unkno...
