CT and MRI findings and follow-up after massive nitrobenzene ingestion. A case report

Liposarcomas are common malignant soft-tissue tumors, which come from primitive mesenchymal cells and differentiate into adipose tissue. These tumors are more commonly found in lower limbs and retroperitoneal region but also reported in pharynx, lung, liver, digestive tract, diaphragm, as well as in the spermatic cord. We reported a case of primary orbital myxoid liposarcoma in a 20-year-old female patient presented with a painless proptosis of the right eye. The mass was pathologically diagnosed as a myxoid liposarcoma. The tumor recurred in 9 months after surgical intervention. The second surgery was performed and followed by postoperative local radiotherapy. No recurrence has been reported after one year of follow-up. We highlighted the role of CT and MRI findings in the tumor diagnosis and the importance of local radiotherapy after surgery.

Aneurysms of the inferior vena cava (IVC) are extremely rare. To the best of our knowledge, only 29 cases of IVC aneurysms are published in literature. We present a new case of surgically treated symptomatic saccular aneurysm of the infrarenal IVC and review previously published cases. Following resection of the aneurysm and the thrombosed infrarenal IVC, the patient fully recovered. Thrombosed IVC aneurysm may mimic a retroperitoneal tumour. In some cases, CT and MRI findings may be equivocal. Surgical treatment is indicated in all symptomatic and low-risk asymptomatic cases.

Pancreatic leiomyosarcoma (PL) is a very rare, malignant neoplasm with a very poor prognosis. Here, we examine a novel case of PL with schistosomiasis hematobia. The patient had been initially misdiagnosed by the first magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The second imaging examination demonstrated an enlarged heterogeneous tumor mass in the body-tail of pancreas. Following image analysis, the patient underwent a pancreatectomy, splenectomy and lymph node dissections. Sixteen months after the tumor resection, follow-up computed tomography (CT) and MRI revealed tumor metastasis in the liver and lung. PL has non-specific clinical manifestations and imaging characteristics, making early diagnosis very challenging. When it is difficult to distinguish between benign and malignant pancreatic lesions, short-term imaging follow-up is preferred. In this case report, we discuss the relationship between PL and schistosomiasis hematobia.
