US 1= longitudinal scan of this mass size of 6.0cm at lower pole of spleen, hypoechoic, well bordered.

US 2=cross-sectional view of mass.


US 3=CDI of this mass with vascular bending sign and, ( US 4) structure inside hypervascular.


Blood tests are normal.
CT with CE:CT 1 non CE , CT2 CE, delay phase with central mass lower perfusion.



MRI with gado: this tumor is well bordered, peripheral enhanced and central hypoperfusion at the late phase.

CASE 392: PERFORATED SEAL-OFF DUODENUM, Dr LÊ TỰ PHÚC-Dr PHAN THANH HẢI. MEDIC MEDICAL CENTER, HCMC, VIETNAM.



"A 37-year-old male presented in our hospital with moderate epigastric pain for three months. Around one week before examination, the pain became more severe, but he didn’t recognize a suddenly pain. Clinical examination revealed no muscle guarding and rebound tenderness.

Abdominal ultrasound images showed unconcentric wall thickening of the gallbladder. Beside the more thickening wall of gallbladder, a hyperechoic of air collection was found. This air collection was continuous with small hyperechoic air spots inside duodenum. A perforated duodenal ulcer with air leakage was suspected.





CT-Scan confirmed air collection beside a thickening gallbladder wall.





Blood test indicated and raised of white blood cells (10,350 / mL) with low level of CRP (0.9 mg/L) and possitive Helicobacter Pylori test.

Without surgery, the patient pain released and the air collection was disappear in ultrasound and CT-Scan images for one month follow-up. Gastroduodenal endoscopy showed a healing ulcer in the anterial wall of duodenum. White blood cell count returned to normal."




This is a case of perforated seal-off duodenum revealed by ultrasound and confirmed by CT-scan later and successfully management without surgery.
