Transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) is an extremely rare congenital anomaly of the testis, characterized by migration of one testis toward the contrary hemiscrotum. TTE is usually associated with other testicular abnormalities such as persistent Mullerian duct syndrome, hypospadias, true hermaphroditism, and scrotal anomalies. Testicular sonography is the main initial diagnostic modality, followed by magnetic resonance imaging of the scrotum. These imaging modalities are important for determination of TTE and characterization of the testicular lesions. This case report provides the high-resolution ultrasonography, Doppler ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging, and diffusion-weighted imaging findings of a young man with seminoma in the transverse testicular ectopia. In addition, data on tumor stiffness, obtained with point shear-wave sonoelastography, are presented.

Lymphoma with hepatic involvement can present with three morphological patterns: diffuse infiltrative, nodular, and mixed infiltrative–nodular. However, lymphoma with periportal infiltrative hepatic involvement is rare. There have been a few reports of cases with this type of hepatic involvement including ultrasound or computed tomography (CT) findings. In this case report, we present CT, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and diffusion-weighted MRI findings together with the histopathological results for a patient with periportal hepatic lymphoma presenting with obstructive jaundice.

Crossed testicular ectopia also known as transverse testicular ectopia is a rare anomaly of the testis which is ectopically located in contralateral hemiscrotum with absent testis in the ipsilateral hemiscrotum. Most case are incidentally discovered intraopeartively during operation of inguinal hernia and few case reports are available which have reported preoperative diagnosis of crossed testicular ectopia. We report a case of crossed testicular ectopia in 12 year old boy who presented with right undescended testis diagnosed preoperative on Ultrasound and Magnetic Resonance Imaging as crossed testicular ectopia. Keywords: crossed ectopia; MRI; testis; ultrasonography.

Abstract Background Management of postoperative chylothorax usually consists of nutritional regimens, pharmacological therapies such as octreotide, and surgical therapies such as ligation of thoracic duct, but a clear consensus is yet to be reached. Further, the variation of the thoracic duct makes chylothorax difficult to treat. This report describes a rare case of chylothorax with an aberrant thoracic duct that was successfully treated using focal pleurodesis through interventional radiology (IVR). Case presentation The patient was a 52-year-old man with chylothorax after a thoracoscopic oesophagectomy for oesophageal cancer. With conventional therapy, such as thoracostomy tube, octreotide or fibrogammin, a decrease in the amount of chyle was not achieved. Therefore, we performed lymphangiography and pleurodesis through IVR. The patient appeared to have an aberrant thoracic duct, as revealed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); however, after focal pleurodesis, the leak of chyle was diminished, and the patient was discharged 66 days after admission. Conclusions Chylothorax remains a difficult complication. Focal pleurodesis through IVR can be one of the options to treat chylothorax.
