Coronary artery fistulas (CAFs) are abnormal communications of coronary arteries whereby venous circuits bypass the normal capillaries within the myocardium. Coronary artery-to-cardiac vein fistula is the third most common type of CAF, accounting for 7% of cases. Electrocardiographic-gated cardiac computed tomographic (CT) angiography has emerged as a noninvasive alternative method of choice for diagnosis due to its high spatial and temporal resolution and short acquisition time. Herein, we aimed to present a left anterior descending coronary artery opened into the greater cardiac vein at the distal level, consistent with a coronary artery-to-cardiac vein fistula in a 77-year-old woman. Teaching point: Coronary artery CT angiography provides a detailed evaluation of the complex anatomy of coronary artery fistula without the need for invasive methods.

Regular and chronic use of ketamine causes inflammatory changes in the urinary tract. Imaging has a crucial role in the assessment of this pathology. A particular imaging characteristic of an hourglass-shaped bladder is highlighted in three cases of ketamine intoxication. Teaching point: Three cases of ketamine intoxication with a characteristic bladder deformation are reported.

A case of a man with the recent onset of painful bilateral firm gynecomastia is reported. Mammography confirmed increased breast density. Biopsy characterized both masses as metastases of a small-cell lung tumor. This case highlights the atypical presentation and complements the literature regarding the rarity of breast metastases from small-cell lung cancer in men. Teaching point: Bilateral gynecomastia in a man with a long history of cigarette smoking should be considered with caution.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate ultrasound (US) features of thyroid nodules categorized as nondiagnostic (ND) and atypia of undetermined significance (AUS) according to the Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology (TBSRTC) and their potential implications for clinical management.
Materials and methods: A retrospective study was conducted on patients who underwent thyroid nodules FNAC between 2019 and 2023. Nodules falling into the ND and AUS categories were analyzed for US features, nodule size, composition, echogenicity, shape, margin, echogenic foci, the distribution of the American College of Radiology's Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (ACR TI-RADS) categories, and other parameters. The study included a total of 1,199 patients and 1,252 nodules (ND: 1110; AUS: 142).
Results: No significant differences in age, gender, nodule features, echogenicity, shape, margin, echogenic foci, TI-RADS scores, localization, number of nodules, or thyroid parenchymal disease presence were found between the ND and AUS categories (p > 0.05). Also, no statistically significant difference in nodule size (<10 mm vs. ≥10 mm) existed between the ND and AUS categories (p = 0.475). Both showed predominantly solid composition and hyperechoic/isoechoic echogenicity. High proportions of TI-RADS 4 nodules were observed in both groups, with 727 (65.5%) in ND and 95 (66.9%) in AUS.
Conclusion: This study found no statistically significant differences in US characteristics between the ND and AUS categories, indicating potential similarities in their radiological appearances. Also, no significant difference in nodule size (<10 mm and ≥10 mm) was observed between these categories. Clinical management should consider further investigations, including repeat FNAC, due to the diagnostic challenges and malignancy risk in both categories.
研究目的本研究旨在调查根据贝塞斯达甲状腺细胞病理学报告系统(TBSRTC)归类为无诊断性(ND)和意义未定的不典型性(AUS)的甲状腺结节的超声(US)特征及其对临床管理的潜在影响:对2019年至2023年期间接受甲状腺结节FNAC检查的患者进行了回顾性研究。对属于 ND 和 AUS 类别的结节进行了 US 特征、结节大小、组成、回声、形状、边缘、回声灶、美国放射学会甲状腺成像报告和数据系统(ACR TI-RADS)类别分布以及其他参数的分析。研究共包括 1199 名患者和 1252 个结节(北达科他州:1110 个;澳大利亚:142 个):结果:ND 和 AUS 类别的患者在年龄、性别、结节特征、回声性、形状、边缘、回声灶、TI-RADS 评分、定位、结节数量或甲状腺实质疾病方面均无明显差异(P > 0.05)。此外,结节大小也无统计学差异(P = 0.475)。两者都显示出主要为实性成分和高回声/等回声回声。两组中均观察到较高比例的 TI-RADS 4 结节,ND 组为 727 个(65.5%),AUS 组为 95 个(66.9%):本研究发现,ND 和 AUS 两组的 US 特征在统计学上没有显著差异,这表明它们的放射学表现可能存在相似之处。此外,结节大小 (

Introduction: Fibromatosis colli (FC) is a rare pseudotumor of the sternocleidomastoid muscle with an incidence of 0.4%, generally diagnosed using ultrasound between 2 and 4 weeks of age. This is an important entity considering the clinical concerns it causes due to its appearance as a cervical mass with torticollis. Few magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) descriptions of its appearance have been made, with the existing reported cases being sporadic. We aim to provide a thorough description of this paediatric entity.
Materials and methods: We conducted a retrospective study by searching our hospital's database for previous cases of FC where an MRI had been performed. We found six cases of FC where an MRI had been performed. Of these cases, five out of six were contrast-enhanced. We examined the MRIs to be able to discern and describe the MRI characteristics of FC.
Results: We found that FC presents a T1 signal isointense to the muscle, a T2 signal hyperintense to the muscle, a variable diffusion signal and a thick enhancing peripheral ring after contrast administration.
Discussion: Our results match what has been reported in the literature to date regarding the MRI signal of FC, confirming previous reports. However, we provide new data regarding the characteristic appearance post-enhancement, which was previously unreported.
Conclusion: The MRI characteristics of FC have rarely been described, with only a few isolated case reports in the medical literature. We review the current literature, describe the key MRI characteristics of the pathology, and provide the most thorough description to date.
简介胸锁乳突肌纤维瘤病(Fibromatosis colli,FC)是一种罕见的胸锁乳突肌假瘤,发病率为 0.4%,一般在婴儿 2 到 4 周大时通过超声波检查确诊。考虑到其临床表现为颈部肿块并伴有迂曲性颈椎病,因此是一种重要的疾病。磁共振成像(MRI)对其外观的描述很少,现有报道的病例均为散发性。我们的目的是对这种儿科疾病进行全面的描述:我们进行了一项回顾性研究,在本医院的数据库中搜索了以前进行过核磁共振成像的 FC 病例。我们发现有六例 FC 病例曾进行过核磁共振成像检查。在这些病例中,六例中有五例为对比增强型。我们对核磁共振成像进行了检查,以辨别和描述 FC 的核磁共振成像特征:结果:我们发现,FC 的 T1 信号与肌肉呈等密度,T2 信号与肌肉呈高密度,弥散信号可变,使用造影剂后,外周呈厚增强环:我们的研究结果与迄今为止有关 FC MRI 信号的文献报道一致,证实了之前的报道。讨论:我们的结果与迄今为止有关 FC MRI 信号的文献报道一致,证实了之前的报道,但我们提供了有关增强后特征性外观的新数据,而这在之前是没有报道过的:结论:FC 的 MRI 特征很少被描述,医学文献中仅有个别病例报道。我们回顾了当前的文献,描述了该病变的主要 MRI 特征,并提供了迄今为止最详尽的描述。

This article discusses the rarity of primary cardiac tumors, particularly angiosarcomas, accounting for 10% of primary cardiac neoplasms. The article highlights the challenge of early diagnosis due to nonspecific symptoms. The importance of sectional imaging, particularly computed tomography (CT) scans, in emergent situations is emphasized. Teaching point: Despite the rarity of primary cardiac tumors, radiologists should remain alert, especially when pericardial effusion is present.
