Burned-out Testicular Tumor Presenting as Cervical and Retroperitoneal Lymphadenopathy Open
A burned-out tumor of the testis is a rare clinical entity. It usually regresses spontaneously without any treatment and presents as metastasis to the retroperitoneum, mediastinum, cervical region, lungs, and liver. Clinical examination an…

A rare case of sinonasal malignant melanoma – local, regional, and distant spread accurately detected by 18f fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography Open
Melanomas are usually cutaneous in origin but rarely can also arise from the mucosal linings in the body. Sinonasal melanomas arise from the mucosa of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, which account for approximately 50% of mucosal m…

Right ventricle metastasis from carcinoma rectum: Findings on<sup>18</sup>F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography–computed tomography Open
Rectal adenocarcinoma metastasizes most commonly to the lungs and liver. Metastasis to heart, although described in literature, is a very rare phenomenon. We describe the 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-compu…

Primary cardiac angiosarcoma with extensive visceral metastases: Utility of <sup>18</sup>F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography in response assessment to sorafenib Open
Primary cardiac angiosarcomas although rare neoplasms remain the most common primary malignant neoplasms affecting the heart. We discuss the sequential positron-emission tomography-computed tomography findings of a 50-year-old man who was …

Elastofibroma dorsi: Findings on <sup>18</sup>F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography Open
Elastofibroma dorsi (EFD) is a relatively rare soft-tissue pseudotumor that arises from mesenchymal tissue. We present a case of 48-year-old woman who underwent 18F fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography-computed …

Thyroid cartilage metastases on F-18 Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography: A tale of two cases with a brief review of literature Open
Metastases to thyroid cartilage are rare entities and can often easily be missed on computed tomography (CT) scan alone. Positron emission tomography (PET)-CT imaging has overcome this diagnostic dilemma due to its ability to provide for b…

Detection of thymoma on 99mtc mibi scintigraphy: Revisiting the past Open
Although thymoma is a rare tumor, it is the most common anterior mediastinal tumor, usually affecting the adults in their fifth and sixth decade. We present a case of 68-year-old man with history of myocardial infarction, who presented to …

Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography–computed tomography in disseminated cryptococcosis Open
Disseminated cryptococcosis without pulmonary involvement is a very rare phenomenon. Patterns of organ involvement in cryptococcosis resemble various other infective conditions as well as malignant conditions on fluorodeoxyglucose positron…

Peritoneal super scan on <sup>18</sup>F - FDG PET-CT in a patient of burkitt's lymphoma Open
Peritoneal lymphomatosis is seen less frequently, but when seen, it is mostly associated with aggressive variants of malignancies. FDG uptake has been reported in peritoneal lymphomatosis both in DLBCL and Burkitt's lymphoma. We report a c…

Objective improvement in renal function post-Dietl's crisis: Documented on renal dynamic scintigraphy Open
Dietl's crisis is one of the treatable causes of intermittent abdominal pain. The pain is due to acute hydronephrosis that leads to stretching of the pelvis. The most common cause of this intermittent hydronephrosis is aberrant renal vesse…
