Caecal leiomyoma detected by whole-body MRI in a patient with Hodgkin lymphoma: first case report

Renal endometriosis mimicking complicated cysts of kidney: report of two cases

“…Without recurrent haemorrhages and concentration of haemoglobin derivatives (deoxyhaemoglobin and methaemoglobin), viscosity of the cyst remains lower and shading sign is unlikely to be observed (17). Diffusion weighted imaging is a MR sequence which provides functional information by probing the random motion of water molecules in biological tissues, also with a quantitative assessment of diffusivity calculated on the ADC map (18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23). Endometriomas tipically show low ADC values mainly due to "T2 blackout effects", related to the low T2-weigthed signal intensity of the lesions (24).…”

A xanthogranulomatous process resembling residual disease on endof- treatment 18f-FDG-PET/CT and Whole Body Magnetic Resonance performed on a primary breast lymphoma treated by ibrutinib plus rituximab-chop

“…Combined 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (FDG-PET/CT) is applied in several oncologic fields (3)(4)(5)(6)(7), especially in lymphoproliferative disorders (3); indeed, it is recommended both for staging after diagnosis and for end-of-treatment assessment of DLBCL (8). Whole Body Magnetic Resonance (WB-MR) with diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is a technique more and more applied in general, urgent (9)(10)(11)(12) and oncologic fields, especially in lymphoma and myeloma patients (13)(14)(15)(16)(17). Regarding the role of WB-MR in the evaluation of response to therapy there are promising preliminary results but larger studies are necessary to validate its reliability (18).…”
