RESUMO
Purpose: To identify the MRI features that aid in the characterization of ovarian granulosa cell tumors. Materials and methods: 11 MR pelvis of an adult woman with pathology-proven ovarian granulosa cell tumors with surgical pathology.We evaluated the patient's age, Ca-125, size, laterality, and with MRI features such as indirect signs (i.e., thickened endometrium > 0.9 cm), morphology (cystic, solid-cystic, or solid), subacute hemorrhage, T2 signal (low or intermediate-to-high), restricted diffusion (B values: 0, 50, 1000 sec/mm3/ADC), and dynamic enhancement (intense or similar to myometrium). Also, the presence of ascites, peritoneal implants, or adenopathy. Results: The final cohort included 11 women with a surgical-pathological diagnosis of granulosa cell tumors. The median age was 52.4 years (range, 17-80). The Ca-125 level was with a median within normal limits. The median size was 9.4 cm. Most cases were unilateral (81.8%) and more frequent on the left (54.5%). MRI Analysis: 36.4% had endometrial thickening. Ovarian granulosa cell tumors were polymorphous: cystic (54.6%), mixed solid-cystic (9.1%), and solid (36.3%). Most GC had intermediate to high signal on T2 (90.9%), restricted diffusion (81.8%), intense enhancement (81.8%), and 36.4% had intraparenchymal bleeding. 9.1% had associated implants/adenopathy/ascites at diagnosis. Conclusion: The MRI features characteristic of ovarian granulosa cell tumors were the polymorphous morphology, an intense enhancement to the myometrium, restricted diffusion, and the presence of intraparenchymal hemorrhage.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: The purpose of our study is to analyze the imaging findings described in MRI and the histopathologic type of testicular lesions to determine which findings are the best predictors of malignancy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty six (46) patients with testicular lesions were initially studied with ultrasound (US) and with testicular MRI (tMRI) on a 1.5-T magnet. MRIs were reviewed by a radiologist with 8 years of experience and imaging findings such as the size of the lesion, the signal intensity in T1, T2 weighted sequences, and the enhancement after endovenous contrast administration, were correlated with the histopathologic diagnosis. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) were analyzed. RESULTS: The enhancement after administration of contrast was the finding of better performance with a sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV of 90 (71-97), 47 (24-71), 74 (56-87) and 73 (40-92), respectively. Meanwhile, the results for hypointense/heterogeneous lesions in T2 weighted sequences and with enhancement with intravenous contrast were 87 (49-84), 47 (44-89), 74 (55-86) y 67 (35-89), respectively. CONCLUSION: The finding of a testicular lesion of low signal intensity and heterogeneous in T2 weighted sequences, with IV contrast enhancement represents a valuable predictor of malignancy. The latter being the most sensitive as a predictor of malignancy.

Resumen La inflamación de la aorta (aortitis) es una patología poco frecuente, con etiología infecciosa (pseudoaneurisma micótico, sífilis) y no infecciosa (arteritis, aortitis idiopática, espondilitis anquilosante, entre otras) de difícil diagnóstico clínico y variable pronóstico. Por esa razón, la utilización de diversos métodos por imágenes, tales como la tomografía computada multidetector (TCMD), la tomografía computada por emisión de positrones (PET-TC), la resonancia magnética (RM) y ultrasonido (US) facilitan la identificación, seguimiento y tratamiento de esa entidad. El siguiente trabajo tiene como objetivo realizar una revisión y actualización bibliográfica acerca de la aortitis y sus diversas etiologías, ejemplificando con casos de nuestra institución.
Abstract Aortic inflammation (aortitis) is a rare pathology, with infectious (fungal pseudoaneurysm, syphilis) and noninfectious etiology (arteritis, idiopathic aortitis, ankylosing spondylitis, among others), it has a difficult clinical diagnosis and a variable prognosis. The use of various imaging methods such as multidetector computed tomography (MDCT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) and ultrasound (US) facilitate the identification, monitoring and treatment of this entity. The following paper aims to perform a literature review and update about aortitis and its various etiologies, exemplifying cases of our institution.

May-Thurner syndrome is an anatomic abnormality that predisposes patients to increase risk of paradoxical embolism and stroke. It consists of chronic compression of the left common iliac vein by the overlying right common iliac artery and lumbar spine. This may lead to deep venous thrombosis and paradoxical embolism that could provoke cerebral ischemia in patients with a cardiac shunt from right-to-left. Embolic cerebral ischemic event is reported in a 30-year-old man after sexual intercourse. Further studies revea led suggestive findings of May-Thurner syndrome coupled with a patent foramen ovale and a factor V Leiden thrombophilia. He was placed on anticoagulation therapy and has not had any recurrent events.
El síndrome de May-Thurner es una anormalidad anatómica que consiste en la comprensión cronica de la vena iliaca común izquierda, entre la arteria ilíaca común derecha y la columna vertebral, que puede predisponer a la trombosis venosa profunda. Es una entidad rara, y es infrecuente que provoque una embolia paradojal cerebral. Se presenta el caso de una isquemia cerebral de origen embólico, en un varón de 30 años, luego de actividad sexual. Los estudios realizados revelaron síndrome de May-Thurner asociado con un foramen oval permeable y una trombofilia por factor V de Leiden. Fue tratado con anticoagulantes orales y no ha presentado recurrencias.

El objetivo fue evaluar si existe asociación entre la presencia del signo de invasión vascular extramural constatado por resonancia magnética (IVErm) con el período libre de enfermedad (PLE) a los 3 años, en pacientes con cáncer de recto (CR). Se realizó un estudio de cohorte retrospectiva. Se incluyeron 64 pacientes seguidos en nuestra institución con diagnóstico histológico de CR, evaluados inicialmente con RM, los cuales recibieron esquema de quimio-radioterapia neoadyuvante y cirugía curativa. Se analizó, mediante un análisis multivariable a través de una regresión de Cox, para ajustar por potenciales variables de confusión como la estadificación por tamaño tumoral (Trm) en la resonancia magnética (RM) basal, la asociación entre IVErm y el PLE a los tres años. Treinta pacientes (49.5%) sufrieron progresión o recaída, de los cuales 20 (60.6%) presentaron signos de IVErm. La presencia de IVErm se asoció con duplicación del riesgo de mala evolución (HR: 2.11; p = 0.054; IC: 1.00 - 4.51). Luego de ajustar por Trm esta tendencia se mantuvo. La presencia del signo IVErm se asocia con disminución del PLE a 3 años. Es mandatorio incorporarlo en los informes radiológicos a fin de contribuir al manejo de dicho grupo de pacientes (AU)
The aim was to evaluate whether there is an association between the presence of extramural vascular invasion sign found in the magnetic resonance (mrEMVI) and three years' disease-free survival (DFS) in patients with rectal cancer (RC). A retrospective cohort study was performed. Sixty four patients with proven RC, who had been initially evaluated with magnetic resonance (MR), had undergone neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and curative surgery, and had been followed for at least 3 years at our institution were included. Association between mrEMVI and reduced DFS was analyzed by logistic regression. Thirty patients (49.5 %) had reduced DFS, of whom 20 (60.6%) had signs of mrEMVI. The presence of mrEMVI duplicated the odds of reduced prognosis (HR: 2.11; 95% CI: 1.00 - 4.51; p < 0.054). The mrEMVI increases the likelihood of reduced DFS in patients with RC (AU)
