Malignant mesenchymal neoplasms of kidney constitute a rare group of tumors. Primary fibrosarcoma of kidney is an extremely rare subtype of primary malignant mesenchymal renal neoplasms. An elderly female presented with a gradually increasing abdominal lump and mild abdominal discomfort. On cross-sectional imaging, the lesion showed features suggestive of an atypical renal mass not conforming to either ball or bean type growth pattern. The mass was surgically removed and on histopathological and immunohistological investigations diagnosed to be primary renal fibrosarcoma.

A case of a solitary, unilateral, large metastatic renal tumor found 35 years after the detection of primary thyroid carcinoma is presented. Renal metastasis from thyroid carcinoma detected during life is extremely rare, and there may be a long latency period before the appearance of a secondary tumor. The possibility of a secondary tumor should always be considered in the differential diagnosis of renal neoplasms, even when the tumor is a large, unilateral, solitary renal mass.

Cranial metastases from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been seldom reported. Reported herein is the case of a painless parietal bone mass as an initial presentation of HCC in a 63-year-old female patient who was subsequently diagnosed to have HCV related cirrhosis. The biopsy from cranial lesion was confirmatory of HCC on immunohistochemistry. The patient had no known history of chronic liver disease. The presented diagnosis was made through detailed history, laboratory parameters and cross sectional imaging.

Mesenchymal Tumours

Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumours (GISTs) are rare mesenchymal tumours that are specific to GI tract. GISTs usually associated with advanced age and have a slight male preponderance. GISTs are commonly found in stomach. Jujunal GISTs are the rarest and account for about 0.1-3% of all GI tumours [1]. The most common clinical manifestation of symptomatic GISTs includes intermittent bleeding due to mucosal ulceration. Massive, life threatening gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is a rare occurrence. We report a rare case of bleeding Jejunal GIST in a 32-year-old female who presented with haemorrhagic shock that required resuscitative laparotomy. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry confirmed the tumour to have features of GIST with clear margins and post-operative cross-sectional imaging excluded any metastatic deposits.

Management of small renal masses (SRMs) is currently evolving due to the increased incidence given the ubiquity of cross-sectional imaging. Diagnosing a mass in the early stages theoretically allows for high rates of cure but simultaneously risks overtreatment. New consensus guidelines and treatment modalities are changing frequently. The multitude of information currently available shall be summarized in this review. This summary will detail the historic surgical treatment of renal cell carcinoma with current innovations, the feasibility and utility of biopsy, the efficacy of ablative techniques, active surveillance, and use of biomarkers. We evaluate how technology may be used in approaching the small renal mass in order to decrease morbidity, while keeping rates of overtreatment to a minimum.

Idiopathic Facial Palsy

AbstractObjectiveThis paper presents a rare case of oculostapedial synkinesis.Case reportAfter partial resolution of an idiopathic facial palsy, a male patient presented with persistent distortion of hearing when blinking and closing his eye. Audiometry findings were unremarkable, and cross-sectional imaging of the facial nerve revealed no abnormalities apart from an incidental contralateral meningioma. Initial conservative management, with referral to a specialist physiotherapist, failed to resolve the symptoms. The patient subsequently opted for surgical intervention, and underwent a transmeatal tympanotomy and transection of the stapedial tendon. Following this, he had complete resolution of symptoms.ConclusionOculostapedial synkinesis is a rare complication of facial palsy, but is recognised in the literature. Given its unusual presentation, it can be overlooked, especially by more junior team members. This case highlights the need to pay careful attention to patients' symptoms and listen out for the description of hearing distortion on facial movement.

Brain arteriovenous malformations (AVM) are abnormal vascular connection between arteries (pial vessels) and veins via a nidus of vessels through which shunting of blood occurs in the absence of true capillary bed. When intracranial AVMs are encountered at cross-sectional imaging, other diagnoses like malignant dural arteriovenous stulas, and moyamoya disease must also be considered. Secondary effects such as gliosis, neurologic decits, venous congestion, hydrocephalus should be included in the radiology report. Imaging ndings inuence the clinical management by neurosurgeons.

Cross Sectional Imaging

The incidence of small renal mass (SRM) is increasing largely owing to the growing use of cross-sectional imaging. About 20% of SRMs are benign, and smaller masses are likely to have pathological characteristics of low malignant potential. Determining the optimal management for SRM can be challenging. Advances in our understanding of the nature of SRMs and expanding treatment options for SRMs have stimulated interest in SRM biopsy which can facilitate risk stratification and prognostication. Continuing concern regarding complications and accuracy, SRM biopsy is underutilized. However, recent series on SRM biopsy have reported diagnostic accuracy and rare complications. The median concordance rate between tumor histotype on renal tumor biopsy and on the surgical specimen was over 90%. SRM biopsy can be selectively used to improve risk stratification in patient where the clinical management may change on the basis of the results of biopsy. Currently, SRM biopsy can be recommended in most cases except in patients who have imaging or clinical characteristics indicative of benign tumors and in cases in which conservative management is considered. Urologists should be aware of the benefits of SRM biopsy which should be discussed with patients.

AbstractAngiomyxomas are soft tissue tumors that are exceedingly rare with very few cases described in literature. They are classified into a less aggressive superficial variant and a deeper aggressive variant commonly called aggressive angiomyxomas (AA). The cross-sectional imaging, particularly magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), plays an essential role in the diagnosis and management of AA. We report a rare case of Aggressive angiomyxoma in a 28-year-old female.

Abstract. Although pulmonary embolism is the most common abnormality of the pulmonary artery, there is a broad spectrum of other congenital and acquired pulmonary arterial abnormalities. Multiple imaging modalities are now available to evaluate these abnormalities of the pulmonary arteries. CT and MRI are the most commonly used cross-sectional imaging modalities that provide comprehensive information on several aspects of these abnormalities, including morphology, function, risk-stratification and therapy-monitoring. In this article, we review the role of state-of-the-art pulmonary arterial imaging in the evaluation of non-thromboembolic disorders of pulmonary artery.
