Adrenal cysts are rare, and their clinical management remains controversial. We report a case involving an adrenal cyst with a complicated appearance on radiological studies. Unenhanced computed tomography revealed a unilocular, noncalcified, hypoattenuating mass with a thin wall in the left adrenal gland. The lesion gradually increased in size from 10 to 50mm at twoyear follow-up. On contrast-...

A 25-year-old male patient presented with a one-month history of progressive right visual loss. Magnetic resonance imaging showed 20x18 mm cystic lesion which has a mural nodule component with contrast and arisen from optic chiasm, optic nerve and optic tract. Right frontotemporal craniotomy was performed and tumor was totally resected. The histological diagnosis was hemangioblastoma. The patie...

A 55yearold man was hospitalized for evaluation of cystic lesion at the pancreas tail (Figure 1). The presumed diagnosis of the pancreatic cyst was pseudocyst because it was a unilocular cyst with debris inside, and the patient was a chronic alcoholic with a recent history of acute pancreatitis. Since the patient had no symptom related with the cyst, he was followed up with alternative CT scan ...

Eight patients with neurocysticercosis were studied with CT and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Two cysts were shown better with MR than with CT. A conspicuous, high-intensity mural nodule containing the scolex allowed specific identification of intraventricular and parenchymal cysticerci. CT evidence of calcification and metrizamide enhancement in the nodule was also noted in one case. Racemo...

Mural cells are essential components of blood vessels and are necessary for normal development, homeostasis, and organ function. Alterations in mural cell density or the stable attachment of mural cells to the endothelium is associated with several human diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, venous malformation, and hereditary stroke. In addition mural cells are implicated in regulating tumor ...
