Intrahepatic splenosis is quite rare and is often misdiagnosed as other lesions. We present two cases of intrahepatic splenosis examined with hepatobiliary contrast agents, intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted imaging and magnetic resonance elastography. We discuss various imaging modalities and the roles of various magnetic resonance imaging methods in diagnosis. We also discuss the differentiating features that allow the correct diagnosis to be made and provide a brief review of the literature.

Introduction: lipoma of corpus callosum is a very rare benign congenital tumor, which can be isolated or associated with varying degrees of dysgenesis of the corpus callosum. It may be asymptomatic or manifested by non-specific signs such as seizures, headache, neurological deficit or dementia. Magnetic resonance imaging makes the diagnosis easily. Case report: We report two cases of two young people, one 19 years old and the other 21 years old who presented a different neurological symptomatology a seizure and headache, magnetic resonance imaging revealed a lipoma of the corpus callosum in the two patients. Conclusion: Lipomas of the corpus callosum are rare asymptomatic lesions, mainly associated with dysgenesis of the corpus callosum. Diagnosis occurs accidentally during diagnostic procedures for brain disorder. Magnetic resonance imaging is the most useful modality for differential diagnosis.

Tattooed patients undergoing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can develop cutaneous complications during the procedure. Our aim was to review all published case reports on MRI-induced tattoo complications to identify a possible pattern. So far, 17 cases have been reported. Five (29%) of the cases were in cosmetic tattoos.  Symptoms are abrupt and painful with fast onset during MRI, sometimes requiring termination of the procedure. Clinical signs are absent or manifested as inflammation sensed as burning. No thermal skin burns have been recognized. Full recovery is fast, with no sequelae.  MRI-induced tattoo complications are uncommon. Patients with cosmetic and traditional tattoos can undergo routine MRI.

Spondylodiscitis represents 2%–4% of all bone infections cases. The correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment can prevent complications such as vertebral collapse and spinal cord compression, avoiding surgical procedures. The diagnosis is based on characteristic clinical and radiographic findings and confirmed by blood culture and biopsy of the disc or the vertebra. The present study was developed with Clementino Fraga Filho University Hospital patients with histopathologically and microbiologically confirmed diagnosis of spondylodiscitis, submitted to magnetic resonance imaging of the affected regions. In most cases, pyogenic spondylodiscitis affects the lumbar spine. The following findings are suggestive of the diagnosis: segmental involvement; ill-defined abscesses; early intervertebral disc involvement; homogeneous vertebral bodies and intervertebral discs involvement. Tuberculous spondylodiscitis affects preferentially the thoracic spine. Most suggestive signs include: presence of well-defined and thin-walled abscess; multisegmental, subligamentous involvement; heterogeneous involvement of vertebral bodies; and relative sparing of intervertebral discs. The present pictorial essay is aimed at showing the main magnetic resonance imaging findings of pyogenic and tuberculous discitis.
