Corpus Luteum Cyst

Objective: To investigate the diagnostic effects of enhanced CT scan on hemorrhage corpus luteum cyst (HCLC).  Methods: The clinical data of 24 patients with hemorrhage corpus luteum cyst diagnosed by surgery and pathology in our hospital were collected. All patients received enhanced CT scan to evaluate the diagnostic value of CT.  Results: The average diameter of the cysts in this group of patients was 5.1cm by CT. Further detection of the ruptured cyst wall showed that there was a liquid low-density shadow. Some of the cysts were accompanied by signs of increased density, indicating the presence of blood clots; all patients received surgical treatment. Intraoperative ultrasound examination of the cysts had an average diameter of 5.2cm and a wall of 0.2~0.4mm. Among them, 19 cases of cysts contained "coffee-colored" liquid with varying degrees of blood clots, and 5 cases had no blood clots in the cysts but there were a lot of blood clots beside the cysts.  Conclusion: The application of enhanced CT scan in patients with hemorrhage corpus luteum cyst is of great value. It can provide accurate data reference for clinical treatment and is worthy of promoting its clinical application.

AbstractOrgan abscesses caused by Streptococcus anginosus are relatively rare. We report the case of an elderly woman with splenic abscess caused by S. anginosus bacteremia after urinary tract infection. An 82-year-old woman had a history of frequency of urination, urgency, and fever with chills for over 10 days prior to admission. An abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan performed in the emergency room revealed a low-density lesion in the spleen, kidney cysts, some exudation around the kidney, and cystitis should be valued. She was treated with ceftriaxone and imipenem/cilastatin. After admission, the blood culture yielded positive results for S. anginosus. A contrast-enhanced abdominal CT scan showed that the low-density lesion previously found in the spleen was smaller than before. After percutaneous drainage of the splenic abscess and treatment with piperacillin/tazobactam based on the antibiotic sensitivity pattern, repeated abdominal CT scan revealed a significant reduction in the low-density lesion. The patient was discharged without recurrence or complications. A systematic review of organ abscess caused by S. anginosus bacteremia was performed. To our knowledge, there has been no report of splenic abscess caused by S. anginosus bacteremia secondary to urinary system tract infection, although urinary tract infections are also an important source.

✓ The authors review 29 cases of surgically-proven isodense subdural hematomas examined by non-contrast and contrast-enhanced computerized tomography scans. Three types of isodense collections were noted: homogeneous isodense collections, mixed-density collections, and gravitational layering within subdural collections. Contrast enhancement within the cerebral cortex, cortical vessels, and subdural membranes led to the correct diagnosis in each case. Contrast-enhanced scans are essential for the evaluation of isodense subdural hematomas.

Abstract Aim of the study to evaluate the role of PET/CT in initial diagnosis and staging of lymphoma, and to determine the predictive value of 18F-FDG PET by monitoring the early response and final response after completion of chemotherapy in patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Patient and Methods our prospective study included 25 patients with pathologically confirmed nonHodgkin Lymphoma diffuse large B cell lymphoma selected from Department of Radiology at Ain Shams University Hospital from January 2019 to March 2020. The patients included in this study performed the followings: Initial PET/CT for staging, interim PET/CT and end of the treatment PET/CT. We performed low dose non enhanced CT scan first, then a whole body PET study followed by diagnostic enhanced whole body CT scan. The whole study took approximately 20-30 minutes. Results PET/CT has greater sensitivity 100% and specificity 68.8% than CT alone for detecting sites of nodal and extra-nodal involvement and for assessment of therapeutic response in non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Conclusion PET / CT is an accurate method for evaluating tumor viability in the post-therapy setting of Non-Hodgkin lymphomas. PET / CT has a significant advantage for the diagnosis of diffusely infiltrating organs without mass lesions or contrast enhancement compared to contrast enhanced CT.
