Herein, we report on a 24-year-old woman with a large well-marginated gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. She presented with dysphagia and epigastric pain. In esophago­gastro­duodeno­scopy there was a huge bulging submucosal mass with normal appearing mucosa in the cardia in addition to a grade B gastro-esophageal reflux disease. She was treated with a proton pump inhibit...

primary small cell carcinoma of the ureter is an extremely rare disease, only several cases have been reported worldwide so far. we report a 70-year-old woman who was examined with intravenous urography and abdominal computed tomography and was diagnosed as small cell carcinoma confirmed by pathology. we describe and discuss the urography and computed tomography findings of this case.

background: this study assessed the optimal timing of computed tomography for detection of metastatic disease in locoregional lymph nodes in patients with rectal cancer who have undergone chemoradiotherapy. materials and methods: this observational retrospective study was performed in a single institution. all patients with locally advanced rectal cancer treated with chemoradiotherapy, followed...

There are few reported cases of endobronchial metastasis of pheochromocytoma literature. We present here a 56-year old woman who underwent left lower lobectomy of lung, following pneumonia with unresolved chest radiographs. Computed tomography showed a lobulated soft tissue mass, measuring, 38×27 mm, at the perivascular space of anterior mediastinum. The resected specimen, showed lobulated tumo...

objectives: accurate localization of the inferior alveolar canal (iac) is extremely important in some dental treatments. anatomical variation of the canal means that it can be difficult to locate. the purpose of this study was to assess the relationship of the gonial angle (ga) size and iac position using cone beam computed tomography (cbct). materials and methods: in this in vitro study, 61 dr...

the ribs are essential structures of the osseous thorax that provide certain significant information and aid interpretation of radiologic images in daily routine practice. intrathoracic rib is a rare congenital anomaly that is usually discovered incidentally, but may cause in vain interventions in case of being unaware. we herein report an intrathoracic rib in a girl whose chest x-ray was stran...

osteoma is a benign, slow-growing osteogenic tumor that sometimes arises from the craniomaxillofacial region, such as the sinus, temporal or jaw bones. osteoma consists of compact or cancellous bone that may be peripheral, central or extraskeletal type. peripheral osteoma arises from the periosteum and is commonly a unilateral, pedunculated mushroom-like mass. peripheral osteoma of the mandible...

abnormal elongation of the mandibular coronoid process is rare and its etiology is not yet elucidated. the aim of this report is to demonstrate and discuss the relationship between elongated mandibular coronoid process and limitation of mouth opening with cone beam computed tomography. although the clinical characteristic of elongation of the coronoid process is mandibular limitation, in this r...

primary pancreatic leiomyosarcomas are rare malignant neoplasms with an aggressive course and a large size. a 56-year-old woman presented with an 8-year history of abdominal pain. multislice computed tomography revealed a large heterogeneous mass with necrotic, calcified and macroscopic fatty areas. the tumor was excised. histopathological evaluation revealed leiomyosarcoma of the pancreas. if ...
