RESUMO

Liver transplant remains the definitive therapy for patients with end-stage liver disease. Outcomes have continued to improve, in part owing to interventions used to treat posttransplant complications involving the hepatic arteries, portal vein, hepatic veins or inferior vena cava (IVC), and biliary system. Significant hepatic artery stenosis can be treated with angioplasty or stent placement to prevent thrombosis and biliary ischemic complications. Hepatic arterioportal fistula and hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm are rare complications that can often be treated with endovascular means. Treatment of hepatic artery thrombosis can have mixed results. Portal vein stenosis can be treated with venoplasty or more commonly stent placement. The rarer portal vein thrombosis can also be treated with endovascular techniques. Hepatic venous outflow stenosis of the hepatic veins or IVC is amenable to venoplasty or stent placement. Complications of the bile ducts are the most encountered complication after liver transplant. When not amenable to endoscopic intervention, biliary stricture, bile leak, and ischemic cholangiopathy can be treated with percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography with biliary drainage and other interventions. New techniques have further improved care for these patients. Transsplenic portal vein recanalization has improved transplant candidacy for patients with chronic portal vein thrombosis. Spontaneous splenorenal shunt and splenic artery steal syndrome (nonocclusive hepatic artery hypoperfusion syndrome) remain complicated topics, and the role of endovascular embolization is developing. When patients have recurrence of cirrhosis after transplant, most commonly due to viral hepatitis, transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) may be required to treat symptoms of portal hypertension.

RESUMO

Peripheral arterial and venous examinations are performed regularly in vascular labs and interpreted by physicians of different specialities. Many vascular examinations have nonvascular pathology that is either inadvertently imaged by the sonographer or imaged with intent as it relates to patient's symptoms. It is prudent for every reader of vascular studies to be acquainted with the sonographic appearance of these non-vascular lesions to enable appropriate and optimal interpretation that has a direct bearing on patient's clinical care. Our review includes a discussion of the nonvascular pathologies like lymph nodes, soft tissue edema, soft tissue fluid collections, musculotendinous injuries, soft tissue masses, and joint and bursal pathologies that may be encountered during interpretation of vascular exams. The pictorial essay includes a discussion of their sonographic appearances and pitfalls in interpretation. Multiple illustrative examples and sonographic images of the non-vascular pathologies found during interpretation of vascular studies have been utilized to highlight their appearances.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the incidence of adrenal metastases in patient with colorectal cancer (CRC) and determine the clinical and radiographic features associated metastatic CRC to the adrenal glands. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The review of consecutive adults with newly diagnosed CRC found to have adrenal tumors > 1 cm in size on staging or surveillance CT scans with at least two scans to evaluate progression or stability of disease. RESULTS: Fifty-eight of 856 (6.8%) CRC patients had an adrenal tumor. Forty-three patients (74%) with 46 adrenal tumors had benign adrenal tumors, and 15 (26%) patients with 17 adrenal tumors had metastatic disease. On univariate analysis, patients with metastatic CRC had larger adrenal tumors (26.7 mm vs 12.4 mm, p < 0.01), a higher mean CEA (239 ng/mL vs 14.2 ng/mL, p = 0.03), and were more likely to have other sites of metastatic disease seen on imaging 8/43 (19%) vs 14/15 (93%), p < 0.01. On multivariable analysis, adrenal tumor size > 1.8 cm (OR 49.6 CI 8-306), CEA > 2.5 ng/mL (OR 15.8 CI 1.7-144) and other metastatic disease seen on imaging (OR 68.1 CI 7-661) were independently associated with adrenal metastases. CONCLUSION: CRC patients with small adrenal tumors, normal CEA levels and no evidence of other metastatic disease are unlikely to have spread to the adrenal glands. Adrenal tumors found during staging and surveillance of CRC patients should be evaluated with appropriate imaging and biochemical analysis.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study is to determine the differences in growth rate of adrenal adenomas and malignant adrenal nodules. MATERIALS AND METHODS. This was a retrospective review of adults with an adrenal nodule seen at two different abdominal or chest CT examinations or PET/CT examinations. Patients in the adenoma group were included if they had a CT, MRI, or pathologic diagnosis of an adrenal adenoma. Patients in the malignant group were included if they had a pathologically proven malignant adrenal nodule. Nodule growth was defined as a change in the largest axial diameter greater than or equal to 3 mm. Growth rate was calculated by dividing the change in the longest axial diameter by the time between the first and last imaging examination. RESULTS. There were 105 adenomas and 26 malignant nodules. Of the 105 adenomas, 34 (32.4%; 95% CI, 23.6-42.2%) grew, three (2.9%; 95% CI, 0.6-8.1%) became smaller, and 68 (64.8%; 95% CI, 54.8-73.8%), were unchanged in size. All 26 (100%; 95% CI, 89.1-100%) malignant nodules grew. The mean (± SD) growth rate of adenomas was 1.0 ± 0.67 mm/year (range, 0.3-2.8 mm/year), compared with 58.4 ± 78.5 mm/year (range, 5.8-395.4 mm/year) for malignant nodules (p < 0.001). A growth rate of 3 mm/year distinguished adenomas from malignant nodules with a sensitivity of 100% (95% CI, 86.8-100%) and a specificity of 100% (95% CI, 96.6-100%). CONCLUSION. Approximately one-third of radiologically proven adrenal adenomas grew, all of which grew at a rate less than 3 mm/year. All malignant adrenal nodules grew, and all at a rate greater than 5 mm/year.

RESUMO

Adenomyomatosis and cholesterolosis of the gallbladder, collectively termed hyperplastic cholecystosis, are commonly encountered incidental findings on imaging studies performed for a variety of indications including biliary colic or nonspecific abdominal pain. These pathologies are rarely the source of symptoms, generally considered benign and do not require further work-up. However, their imaging characteristics can overlap with more sinister conditions that should not be missed. In this review, the imaging findings of adenomyomatosis and cholesterolosis will be reviewed followed by other gallbladder pathologies that might mimic these conditions radiologically. Important differentiating factors will be discussed that can aid the radiologist in making a more confident imaging diagnosis.

RESUMO

In the follow-up treatment of high-grade gliomas (HGGs), differentiating true tumor progression from treatment-related effects, such as pseudoprogression and radiation necrosis, presents an ongoing clinical challenge. Conventional MRI with and without intravenous contrast serves as the clinical benchmark for the posttreatment surveillance imaging of HGG. However, many advanced imaging techniques have shown promise in helping better delineate the findings in indeterminate scenarios, as posttreatment effects can often mimic true tumor progression on conventional imaging. These challenges are further confounded by the histologic admixture that can commonly occur between tumor growth and treatment-related effects within the posttreatment bed. This review discusses the current practices in the surveillance imaging of HGG and the role of advanced imaging techniques, including perfusion MRI and metabolic MRI.

RESUMO

We report a bladder diverticular stone with increased 99mTc-methyl diphosphonate uptake on bone scintigraphy and SPECT/CT. Diverticular stone is a known risk factor for bladder malignancy. The deposition of 99mTc-methyl diphosphonate on the crystal surface of the diverticular stone is a rare phenomenon but of clinical significance. Cystolitholapaxy is indicated to remove the diverticular stone and to reduce the risk of bladder cancer.
