AbstractHydatid disease is a widespread parasitic infection caused by tapewormEchinococcus and it affects mainly the liver, but other organs such as pelvic organscould be involved very rare. Here we report a case of hydatid cyst with involvementof oviduct in a woman with endometrial cancer. It was misdiagnosed as a multicysticright ovarian mass before surgery and by microscopic study it was sho...

Hydatid disease, caused by larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus, is a common parasitic infection of human and animal. Although liver and lung are the most commonly affected area, hydatid cyst may develop any part of the body. Primary subcutaneous hydatid cyst is extremely rare. We report a case of 54 years old man who presented with palpable mass in scapular region from 3 years ago....

A 40-year-old woman presented with recurrent chest pain. Past medical history was positive for schizoaffective disorder , polysubstance abuse, and gestational diabetes mellitus. The physical examination was unremarkable. Results of an ECG and a test for cardiac enzymes, including troponins, were negative. Transthoracic echocardiography showed a well-circumscribed, smooth, homogeneous mass measu...

Areas of hypoattenuation in the liver which do not have mass effect are typically thought to represent focal fatty infiltration. Rarely, tumors can present without mass effect in the liver. We present a case in which areas of liver hypoattenuation which were initially thought to represent focal fatty infiltration on CT due to lack of mass effect had abnormal uptake on a FDG PET/CT exam; these a...

Recently, it has been reported that 25% of plasma angiotensinogen (Agt) is derived from fat. Meanwhile, liver-specific Agt knockout (KO) mice have markedly low plasma Agt, which may be due to reduced fat mass. To study the contribution of the fat to plasma Agt, we tested whether increasing fat mass can elevate plasma Agt and blood pressure in liver- Agt KO mice. Epididymal fat mass in liver- Ag...
