Primary renal lymphoma PRL is an extremely rare disease Due to the relative rarity of PRL few studies have classified the imaging patterns of the disease We describe computed tomography CT findings of a patient with PRL and discuss the differential imaging features PRL is typically large hypovascular infiltrative solid mass that does not invade the vessels Having an understanding of typical imaging findings is very important for accurate diagnosis differentiation from other renal malignancies and a correct decision to biopsy

Purpose Air tissue expander systems offer breast cancer patients a number of advantages but present an unusual challenge when treating patients post mastectomy with external beam radiation therapy The primary aim of this study was to describe the planning protocol developed for external beam locoregional radiation therapy RT in post mastectomy patients with in situ air expanders and to quantify the effect of the AeroForm trade AirXpanders reg Palo Alto California implant on target volumes and treatment factors Secondary aims included an evaluation of clinical outcomes including acute side effects Methods and materials This is a single institution review of eight female patients treated between March and August All patients received a prescription of cGy in treatments delivered five times per week Specific density overrides were applied to critical structures in order to achieve the most accurate dose distribution Acute side effects were assessed at weeks two four and six during radiation therapy and followed up at week six after the final treatment Results A three dimensional D conformal radiation therapy CRT tangential wedged pair technique with additional contouring and density overrides applied to critical structures is suitable for patients with breast air tissue expanders mm ndash mm of bolus over the entire chest wall throughout treatment enhances treatment delivery accuracy to the superficial skin layers without increasing early acute skin reactions Conclusion It is feasible to plan radiation therapy in patients with air tissue expanders requiring chest wall with or without nodes irradiation using an appropriate planning technique and density overrides to critical structures The addition of bolus to the entire chest wall increases dose distribution accuracy Early clinical results show that this treatment method is reproducible has acceptable early toxicity and results in similar acute toxicity to those seen in patients without air expanders Our air expander protocol will continue to be adapted as additional prospective data is collected

Introduction Ultrasound US and Magnetic resonance imaging MRI of the foot are often requested by foot and ankle specialists or general physicians GPs and the reason for these referral requests to Musculoskeletal Radiologists is usually forefoot and midfoot pain The request card for these patients usually states Morton rsquo s neuroma as a working suspected diagnosis However there are many other conditions that can mimic Morton rsquo s neuroma Materials and methods This article demonstrates multiple conditions that we have come across in our practice Between July and February we received consecutive patients from GP and specialists for ultrasound of foot with various clinical suspicions Standard ultrasonography of the foot was performed using high frequency probes by consultant muskuloskeltal radiologists Results Various differential diagnoses included intermetatarsal bursitis stress frature degenerative changes of the metatarsophalangeal and tarsometatarsal joints inflammatory arthropathy causing synovitis and joint effusions turf toe sesamoiditis freiberg rsquo s disease plantar plate disruption tenosynovitis of flexor or extensor tendons Additionally benign conditions have been detected at such as soft tissue disorders ganglions calluses adventitial bursitis plantar fibromatosis and haemangioma Furthermore malignant conditions such as giant cell tomour of tendon sheath and schwannomas were also detected Conclusion To improve the diagnosis of forefoot non specific foot pain healthcare professionals need to collect a complete and careful history perform thorough physical examinations and to be more aware about the possible conditions that lead to foorfoot foot pain This will avoid unnecessary visits to GPs orthopaedic surgeons and radiologists
