Angioleiomyomas are benign smooth muscle tumors that originate from the tunica media of veins and arteries. They can occur anywhere in the body, but the preferential location of these tumors is the lower extremities. We describe a rare case of rectal angioleiomyoma and present our findings obtained by using computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and histopathological analysis.

BACKGROUND Mucosal cysts in the maxillary antrum (MMC) are a common finding in imaging of the paranasal sinuses. Their significance remains in doubt and their prevalence in the general nonrhinitic population is unknown. OBJECTIVES To establish the prevalence of MMCs in patients without nasal complaints and identify any association with putative causative factors. To identify any correlation b...

Tuberculosis can affect virtually any organ system in the body and can be devastating if left untreated. The increasing prevalence of tuberculosis in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised individuals in recent years makes this disease a topic of universal concern. Because tuberculosis demonstrates a variety of clinical and radiologic findings and has a known propensity for dissemination fr...

fewer than 15% of lipomas occur in the head and neck. lipomas of the larynx are very rare benign laryngeal tumors (0.6%). to date less than 100 case of laryngeal lipoma have been reported in the literature.clinical manifestation include progressive horseness, dyspnea, and even dysphagia. in the direct exam smooth or pedunculated mass is seen in the larynx and sometimes if tumor is large enough ...

The technique of high resolution CT (HRCT) requires thin (1–1.5 mm) sections and a special reconstruction algorithm to maximize detail in the lung parenchyma [ 1 ] (Fig. 2.1 ). HRCT images may be reconstructed from a volumetric dataset or may be acquired using noncontiguous images at 1–2 cm intervals. If volumetric acquisition is performed, coronal and sagittal reconstructions may be obtained, ...
