Polysplenia syndrome associates multiple spleens to other malformations, most frequently cardiac, vascular, visceral, and biliary malformations. Polysplenia has been described mainly in childhood owing to critical anatomic malformations related to cardiac defects or biliary atresia. We present a case of polysplenia syndrome found in a 58-year-old man. Only those with mild anatomical abnormalities reach adulthood without a diagnosis. Radiological examinations are helpful to the diagnosis by ascertaining the location and number of spleens, location of other organs in the chest and abdomen, and identification of other associated anomalies.
Extraosseous Ewing sarcomas (EESs) are rare tumours originating from soft tissues. Imaging has an interest in the diagnosis of lesions, local extension and post-treatment follow-up. This paper reports tree cases of soft tissue Ewing's sarcoma. They all benefited from an MRI with the T1 and T2 weighted sequences in all three planes and FATSAT without and after gadolinium injection in all three planes. The guided echo biopsy was done for all the cases objectifying Ewing's sarcoma. They were treated by a multidisciplinary approach including surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
